ICC World Test Championship 2019/21 Final - General Discussions

Spoiler

Take note of the fact that I didn't say of which team

50 all out for sure

I don't even feel like following this match anymore.

I hope there are discussions going on behind the scenes to add a second reserve day.

Aside from the rain what does everyone think of the occasion/spectacle?

Watching the best teams play in neutral conditions has been great in my opinion. It feels nice to be watching a test match where there is a something on the line beyond bragging rights. I think a neutral venue is something they should aspire to maintain.

There will be no play today so it doesn’t matter. The match is head for a draw. No point in discussing this game anymore.

There's still two full days of cricket, chill out

2 and a 3 quarters of innings still left. We are not even half done with this match. We could've easily postponed this match.

There's plenty of time for New Zealand to force a win.

Go full steam ahead for a session or so of batting, then declare 50 to 100 ahead and give the ball to Kyle Jamieson.

I could do a lot better things than to watch Indian batsmen play like lambs against the Kiwi bowlers.

World Cup Semi Final replay on. Big collapses can happen.

A farcical championship with a farcical final.
The idea of a marquee championship for the most important format is noble, but the execution has been a joke from the outset!

A farcical championship

The initial format was farcical, but the change to percentage of total points won has redeemed it. The scheduling is farcical no doubt. They could’ve looked at the weather forecast a couple weeks ago and changed venue.

Yawn!

 

[Master Khan]

Well I am done with this match, look like it's going to raining tomorrow as well.
All that build up and talk just for a match that will rained off.
