World Test Championship

[ACT Crusader]

And he gets him.......

DRS coming.

[ACT Crusader]

Wow, not out because of bounce.

Very very lucky in my view.

[ACT Crusader]

What the hell????? He now gets bowled next ball.

Bairstow in all sorts.

[Duluth]

Chaos

[Siam]

@act-crusader this is scarcely believable!

[Donsteppa]

0/2 eventually, just took another delivery.

A village team would pick the line about as well as the English batsmen in these first three deliveries.

[ACT Crusader]

Now Root gets beaten first ball.

[bayimports]

@donsteppa less than 26 all out and will be a great day of cricket

[Siam]

As @nzzp alluded to earlier, this test championship is up with there with sliced bread.
In gone by days this game/series would be a novelty that you might read about the next day or week, and bemoan a weird pitch or apathetic batting. But with the final up for grabs it's bloody riveting, nearly exciting.

Good stuff all round!

[ACT Crusader]

Patel now has 8 wickets for the match.

@act-crusader said in World Test Championship:

Patel now has 8 wickets for the match.

Make it 9

[gt12]

@act-crusader

10 and counting.

Ashwin gets one now and England are 66/6

[gt12]

Ashwin gets his 400th

2nd fastest in history apparently, pretty good player given that he doesn't seem to chuck it, and can bat a bit too.

[gt12]

Now 80/8 and Patel has 11.

England ahead by 47 and this might end today.

However many it is won't be easy though.

[gt12]

80/9 now.

[gt12]

50 overs and 16 wickets so far!

After watching cricket on roads for so long, this is really fun to watch.

[gt12]

81 all out, Washington gets the last.

India need 49 to win.

[gt12]

11/0 after two overs and I'm off to bed. Knowing this pitch they could be 20/5 but I guess I'll wake up to see that they won by 8 wickets.

[MajorPom]

Absolute joke. India cruise to the 49 runs without loss and with only one decent shout.

Credibilty around spin bowling statistics is destroyed with these pitches. Absolutely no excuse for a game not going at least 2.5 days. BCCI should face serious sanctions.

But we know they won't.

[MajorPom]

Update for the scenarios before they change the rules before the last match.

England are toast

England win - Oz get through
Anything else - India get through
