ICC World Test Championship 2019/21 Final - General Discussions

[NILAYSHAH60]

You are misinterpreting things now. Latham is an opener who plays in most difficult batting tracks in the world and he is undisputed at that position for more than 4 years. I don't think any opener has done better in the same period. Pujara was never a player whom you would compare by the number of runs he scored. The time that he spent on the crease was invaluable and this is what real Test Cricket is about. Also I am not saying that everyone should play like him but if every team has a player like him they would not just win matches but Test series Overseas!!!

Btw I forgot about Ross Taylor. For some reason I always forget about him.

Surely the final will have a nice boundary count rule to give me the vibes of the great 2019 WC final? Honestly, won't mind seeing Bumrah overstep at crucial points either

I hope it doesn't end in a draw probably the worst way to end this tournament

India needs to play the deadliest trio - Ashwin, Jadeja & Axar for win.

Rohit Sharma
Shubman Gill
Cheteshwar Pujara
Virat Kohli
Ajinkya Rahane
Rishabh Pant
Ravindra Jadeja
Ravichandran Ashwin
Shardul Thakur
Axar Patel
Jasprit Bumrah

Can't make out if you are sarcastic or if you're serious.

The final is in Southampton

What he meant is that the final was supposed to be at Lords. It was moved to Southampton to make it easier to manage since they have a hotel on premise. Now New Zealand is supposed to play 2 test matches and one is at Lords, so he is asking..

Hoping sarcastic. Makes no sense to play Thakur in the XI as well when there will be Shami and Sharma on a seaming swinging pitch

Roscoe has been in dismal form in domestic cricket recently. Of course, Bangladesh might be the perfect cure for him now but I still believe he will be an easy wicket for us should he play.

Bumping this one!

What happens to the WTC Final now? Rising number of cases from India and with Indians banned from travelling to the UK, do we foresee a possibility that the WTC final be moved from there to somewhere in the Middle East? The virus is going leave the ICC scrambling for venues. Dubai seems most logical. Admittedly, the UAE govt too, has banned Indians from travelling there, however, I feel this can be easily resolved as opposed to the UK travel ban.

After the WTC final Virat Kohli will become the only cricketer to play all four ICC events finals.

World Cup 2011 Final
Champions Trophy 2013 Final
T20 World Cup 2014 Final
Champions Trophy 2017 Final

If only Rohit performed well before the 2011 WC, there would've been 2 players achieving it.

Ashwin

Ashwin

Oh yes, Ashwin has also played in all these finals. I thought that list involved all the knockout matches.

If Ashwin was included in the World Cup 2011 final Playing 11 he would have played all the finals.
