WTC Final Australia v India Only Test June 7-11 1800hrs @ the Oval

[Ephemeral Hope]

Cam is good at adapting the situation if we are in trouble he can knuckle down and he can go big when we need him to

What I would like for cam is for him to come in when we are 4/200 odd and give him a license

reckon when he does come in the Indians will be targeting his front pad

If he and head can be genuine counter attacking intent batsmen then they’re the perfect two to come after smith and Marnus, especially as green CAN play the slow and steady anchor if needed too. Carey the more traditional batsmen (when he doesn’t reverse sweep everything) then the tail

Nasser was a Surrey player / he’d know

Nasser played for Essex all his life

It's legitimately been a couple of overs since they've talked about anything actually happening in this match. This over about the 1986 tied test. The last one about Kohlis personality.

 

[Browney2006]

Almost a bit of an awkward slip there from JL

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Unless that ball turns 90 degrees it's down leg.

 

[Jim Prideaux]

How far through the bottle?

Half, was drinking at the boundary hotel in the west end prior, great pub

 

[Westend]

smudge off with the fairy's atm

 

[magpiemaniac44]

That's a Jaffa, Thakur bowling well

Was hoping they’d review

 

[Burtonsgottago]

Reckon we are going to see some very explosive batting this ashes from both sides, will be great to watch

Reckon we’re going to see some explosive batting from England and Trav

 

[Jim Prideaux]

Just going down leg.

Thakur is mixing it up well and causing some problems.

Yup, he’s bowling well. Probably needs to tighten his outswinger slightly, but I’m being picky.

 

[Slysh]

Will be very relieved when i see Thakur out of the attack

 

[GOAUS!]

India going to cop some fines for these over rates. Going to have bowled 36 overs in 1.5 sessions. No way they get through the 90 overs or even close, even if Jadeja bowls a stack of overs.

add Green in there as well

 

[JimmyBC]

STFU JL

 

[estibador]

They also prioritise having commentators from the competing countries even if they're not very good like Haydos.

I'd like to see them have a rep from each Test nation tbh. Make it a global event.

 

[mouncey2franklin]

How things have changed from his peak.

Smith now the strike-farmer.

He used to be very good at finding singles at will, or am I misremembering things?

Be lucky to get 80 in at this rate

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Commentators trying to put the mozz on Smith. Worrying

What if we ended up with Hayden being the sole Aus representative?

Pass.

Although it would be good to hear Smithy from NZ, he's a legend.

Smithy was so good in the Australian summer

 

[Browney2006]

36 overs in 3 hours, what a joke. On target for 77 overs for the day and that’s including the extra half hour.

I'd say there were significant parts of the 17-18 and 2019 Ashes where he spent lengthy periods not scoring. Just waiting for bowlers to become impatient.

He's still been doing that more recently its just he hasn't been going on and scoring really large after that.

Lovely from Steve

Hussain, Atherton and David Gower all great commentators. Also liked the late great Bob Willis.

Also, Ian Ward, who does the England tests on Sky is an excellent commentator.
