2023 WTC FINAL: Aust v Ind @ The Oval - AUSTRALIA TEST CHAMPIONS

[King-Gutho94]

Never bowl first at The Oval, London no matter the conditions.

The pitch is always drier then it looks.

The last 2 ashes tests in 2015 & 2019 team won the toss bowled first and got thumped.

England lost by an innings in 2015 while the Tim Paine disaster in 2019 cost us an Ashes win.

Leeds and Manchester is understandable with the cloud covet up north you could bowl first but not in London

Went to bed with the shits once Labs got our, was shocked and aroused when I read the score when I woke up this morning. Can’t wait to see the highlights when I get home from the salt mines.

Waking up to some good Head will do that

 

[Lebbo73]

Cummins is a dumb f**k. He said that he would have bowled first as well if he won the toss. You never bowl first at The Oval. The pitch always looks deceptively green. England and their County players say the same thing.
I never thought that I’d say this but Head’s great. Smith isn’t so bad either.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

'Member when McDerp and co dropped Head for the first test in India?

 

[Haffa]

Brayshaw calling it crickets Grand Final in order to cater to 7’s usual viewers still triggers me.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

We used to whinge about 9s commentators. Now 7 dish up:
Brayshaw
Langer
Hayden
Shastri
Hussain
Gavaskar.

Truly ear splitting vomit inducing stuff.

It's an ICC broadcast, not channel 7. Would be no different if the game was on Fox.

Would Fox be promoting AFL during the lunch break.

Or have Skull telling jokes & taking the piss out of himself while analyzing the game situation.

I know what i prefer and its not seeing Buddy Franklin highlights at a Lunch Break during a cricket match.

Its still on 7 and its still shit.

It's Sevens commentators and their lunch/tea show bullshit

 

[King-Gutho94]

India's record since 2011 world cup victory in ICC Events/ Test Championship is ordinary considering the financial dominance they have over everyone.

2013 Champions trophy is the only world tournament silverware they have won in past 12 years.

2012 T20 WC - Knocked out in Group Stage
2013 CT - Won
2014 T20 WC - Lost in Final to Sri Lanka
2015 ODI WC - Lost Semi Final to Australia
2016 T20 WC - Lost Semi Final to West Indies
2017 CT - Flogged in semi final to Pakistan
2019 ODI WC - Lost Semi Final to New Zealand
2021 Test Championship - Lost Final to New Zealand
2021 T20 WC - Knocked out in Group Stage
2022 T20 WC - Flogged in semi final to England
2023 Test Championship -

Went to bed shortly after Head's 100 last night but it looks like Head and Smith pummelled the Indians in that last session.

 

[Twizzle]

gee Travis Head is in some decent form but India's over rate really pathetic considering their spin bowlers

we're in a good place

 

[gUt]

We'd better drop Head for the first Ashes test for the same reasons as we dropped him for the first India test.

They only have one spinner

 

[herbert henry1908]

Travis Head has found his role as a counter attacker now, he needs to stick to that script.
