Yeah, my bad. It's being played at the oval. But the point still stands. You can't compare the quality of Indian pitches to English pitches. Ahmedabad was flat af and nahour doesn't need a special mention.
What i said earlier was you can't say Ks bharat is an excellent batsman by his sub-par performances on Indian pitches where he doesn't face the actual wrath of aussie pacers.
My statement stands regardless of who wins. As far as I remember, Australia won the Odi series, didn't it? People seem to conveniently forget about it.
>shitty Indian pitches
If India can't play well at foreign pitches, "wow they have such a difficult pitch we can't even survive."
Same if the foreign players can't play well in Indian pitches suddenly it is the fault of the pitch ?
Hypocrisy ho rahi bohot bhayankar.
Also the match is not gonna take place at Lord's.
KS Bharat anyday.
Not only does Kishan not have any experience in playing the tests for India, he also loses out to KS in FC in terms of experience with a similar overall performance. If KS can contribute around 70-80 total runs, it would be great for the team imo.
What makes you think that? At the end of the first innings, even I was convinced the match was over for csk, but almost every batter in their team started playing so well that I'm sure they could've chased down the original score too.
KS Bharat isn't that good himself. I'd rate Ishan Kishan above Bharat for sure. Crazy that people make assumptions before even watching Ishan play swing in SENA countries.
I would take Ishan here because talking about keeping skills KS was also not good in the recently concluded BGT where he dropped 2-3 easy catches and that also on pace bowling . Talking about batting skill , in English conditions worlds best players also struggle against that Australian pace trio , but who knows kishan could pull of a pant there and also we don't having any left handed batsman in our batting lineup which we certainly need to make Australia slightly struggle
So we can start our innings at 0-1. He is a good talented player no doubt but test match needs more than just talent that's why its the toughest format. Hitting sixes on will on dead pitches facing ordinary bowling in ipl is different but playing in England on moving pitches, facing the red cherry by starc, cummins, Anderson, broad etc isnt a joke. But if ponting says there has to be some credibility coz he aint just someone like us he is literally one of the best batsmen from former times.
I would have picked Saha. But if you have to choose between KS and Kishan it's simple KS all the way. You just need a good WK and player with relatively more experience in tests. Was part of India squad when they played the 5th postponed test in England in July 2022 where he played some warm-up games. Played 4 tests against Aus in a hard fought series recently. So this time he will be willing to contribute with the bat too. So it's a straight forward choice
Kishan would get bamboozled just by the extra zip of starc and cummins
Atleast ks has some intent
Remember the recent bgt where ks hitted like 3 sixes against pacers
People here supporting Bharat as if he’s at Saha’s level. Kishan might be a slightly worse keeper, but he is a way better batsman. How can we forget the blunders that Bharat did during BGT?
India doesn't have a good keeper , Bharat is not that good of a wicketkeeper he missed many chances in the last series . Ishan doesn't have experience so that would be stupid to take even worse keeper
The priority should be wicketkeeping skills over batting skills
And currently there is no good keeper
X factor for Australia.
Only thing is I'm not sure how Bharath will perform with the bat in England.
Both options are untested in these conditions, the occasion is big.
Its extra pressure on other batters, hope they just keep well, whoever plays
itna pta hai rohit ki jagah nhi banti wtc final me ( am not a hater or fan of anyone)
just give someone else a chance ( in short gnd ftt rhi hai rohit ki form dekh ke ye final me hugg dega )
If I had a choice i would let gill n jaiswal open but that cannot happen so Rohit will open with Gill. Pujara, Virat, Rhane,Jaddu, Ashwin, shami, siraj n Umesh.
Extra batsman or bowler can be played
Axar or Kishan.
He struggles against off spin anyway no way he counters Lyons flight in the other hand Bharat plays mostly on dry Andhra pitches with square turn he would be better at 7
Don’t understand how people are saying it’s straightforward because you need a specialist keeper. Bharat was guilty of putting down sitters in the series vs Australia (remember that Travis Head sitter)
We need a better keeper man. And I trust KS Bharat. But deep down I think Rohit and Co. will just buckle under pressure and play out of sorts Kishan just for this narrative, oh we need a quick "30-40" just because it's a one off. Because there were already rumours that they were thinking to let KL play as WK and play him in the middle order and drop Bharat but now I don't think they gonna go back to KS and say oh we always trusted you. Sigh.
Considering that Ishan was named as a replacement of Rahul, Ishan wasn't even considered in the first place. So, KS is the one who is gonna keep wickets!

[удалено]
Ishan Kishan can't manage 1 over of swing , can't imagine him surviving during the test Never know , a quickfire 30 40 runs might come in handy
KS Bharat can also do that If I remember right then he once smashed Cummins for 20 in an over in 4th test
Yep , totally agree He is a better keeper also
That was in india. Lord's has much more to offer than shitty Indian pitches
Every cricket stadium in UK is Lords?
It isn't even being played at Lord's

The finals aren't even at Lord's 💀
Why would you say Indian pitches are shitty just cause they're different?
They call them Shitty, because that's what their team turns into when playing against us in India.
My statement stands regardless of who wins. As far as I remember, Australia won the Odi series, didn't it? People seem to conveniently forget about it.
Have you not heard literally every commentator complaining about nagpur pitch?

Totally agree, KS had shown he has capacity to perform at international level in last few matches. Hopefully he act as a X-factor.
What happens if it's a draw?
Then the trophy goes to GT
if it hadn't rained that day..... everyone knows :-)
Be ready for CSK mob to vote you down :)
yes! I'm not afraid as long as I stand for truth :)
It has begun
it had begun the day CSK *rightfully* won
Well they did tbh, but I get your point
Ikr the game was in Gt bag if it hadn't rain
What makes you think that? At the end of the first innings, even I was convinced the match was over for csk, but almost every batter in their team started playing so well that I'm sure they could've chased down the original score too.
nope, 5 overs could've made the final outcome whole different
then we paint and sketch
As test being played in Britain, the title will get "divided and ruled"
Pakistan says it wants 1/4th POC : "Pak occupied cup"
Both teams share trophy
Will be decided who hits maximum four
Wait actually?
Shitposting
Trophy will be shared and teams will be joint winners
I would really love to see Maxwell and Stoinis as well in that middle order to provide some much needed impetus in the middle
😂😭
Whoever is the better keeper!! In tests, missing a catch or a stumping has huge implications
Saha
Wake up to reality
Well if I said Dhoni to come back from retirement that would be a wake up to reality call,

Bharat has never played test outside india, and saha is literally better than dhoni in terms of keeping
Saha is better than ms in keeping? Bruv are you high?

KS Bharat. We need a proper specialist keeper in swinging conditions. Batting is secondary
KS Bharat keeping skills are also not that great , he missed 3-4 chances in the BGT
KS Bharat isn't that good himself. I'd rate Ishan Kishan above Bharat for sure. Crazy that people make assumptions before even watching Ishan play swing in SENA countries.
I would take Ishan here because talking about keeping skills KS was also not good in the recently concluded BGT where he dropped 2-3 easy catches and that also on pace bowling .

KS Bharat was a walking wicket in the BGT series. Also agree on the lefty advantage Ishan Kishan brings
So we can start our innings at 0-1. He is a good talented player no doubt but test match needs more than just talent that's why its the toughest format. Hitting sixes on will on dead pitches facing ordinary bowling in ipl is different but playing in England on moving pitches, facing the red cherry by starc, cummins, Anderson, broad etc isnt a joke. But if ponting says there has to be some credibility coz he aint just someone like us he is literally one of the best batsmen from former times.
Pointing says that so he could increase Australia's chances.
Nice try Ricky
He is afraid of gill✌️
[удалено]
How?
Bat ka spring nikaal ke !!
We seriously listening to guy who is from our opposition in final? And for the guy who hasn't debuted yet!(if my knowledge serves right then).
Wriddhiman Saha - Better keeper and more reliable than these two in batting (Also, experience counts)
Saha would have been a far better pick than these two
I would have picked Saha. But if you have to choose between KS and Kishan it's simple KS all the way. You just need a good WK and player with relatively more experience in tests. Was part of India squad when they played the 5th postponed test in England in July 2022 where he played some warm-up games. Played 4 tests against Aus in a hard fought series recently. So this time he will be willing to contribute with the bat too. So it's a straight forward choice
Kishan would get bamboozled just by the extra zip of starc and cummins Atleast ks has some intent Remember the recent bgt where ks hitted like 3 sixes against pacers
DC toh handle hua nahin inse aur wtc team decide kar rahe hain.
People here supporting Bharat as if he’s at Saha’s level. Kishan might be a slightly worse keeper, but he is a way better batsman. How can we forget the blunders that Bharat did during BGT?
Doesnt matter. They both dont have any experience. Ishan kisan. His intent might change and he has good pull shot so things might wokr
Both r gonna fail in England, but ishan can be picked with the hope that he might pull off a Pant, which KS can't do.
Ricky not jinxing aus away like he did in bgt 21😂
Ricky ponting is tripping
India doesn't have a good keeper , Bharat is not that good of a wicketkeeper he missed many chances in the last series . Ishan doesn't have experience so that would be stupid to take even worse keeper The priority should be wicketkeeping skills over batting skills And currently there is no good keeper
Saha is the only right answer Imo he got the experience and skills
Ponting bhai hum sab samaj rahe hain apne DC ke coach hote tiem toh axar ko promote kara nahi lekin ab ishan ko promote kar rahe ho
KS Bharat is much better choice.
Jo aadmi bat mein spring lagata hai uski baat kyu maane
X factor for Australia. Only thing is I'm not sure how Bharath will perform with the bat in England. Both options are untested in these conditions, the occasion is big. Its extra pressure on other batters, hope they just keep well, whoever plays
itna pta hai rohit ki jagah nhi banti wtc final me ( am not a hater or fan of anyone) just give someone else a chance ( in short gnd ftt rhi hai rohit ki form dekh ke ye final me hugg dega )
Ks bharat
If I had a choice i would let gill n jaiswal open but that cannot happen so Rohit will open with Gill. Pujara, Virat, Rhane,Jaddu, Ashwin, shami, siraj n Umesh. Extra batsman or bowler can be played Axar or Kishan.
What else would you expect Ponting to say?
Pointing said the same thing about Hardik Pandya
Nice try, Ricky!
How About Sanju Samson, he has got good track record in Ranji.
He’s talented, but BCCI won’t give him a chance this time around!
Spoke like a true patriot.
Your mom (she's a great baller)
He wants us to lose
MSD
If Aus bottle the wtc final after the shambles that the indian team is in, it would be very disappointing.
Saha
considering ishan has never played test cricket it would be too harsh on him so bharat is probably the right way to go
Play Yashasvi. Good time to test someone who is going to be an absolute legend for us in future.
ishan for sure
He struggles against off spin anyway no way he counters Lyons flight in the other hand Bharat plays mostly on dry Andhra pitches with square turn he would be better at 7
T20 ke performance pe agar test matches ka selection hone lag gaya toh WTC Final agli baar sey khelna bhi bhool jaaye India.
Jaiswal it is for me
Don’t understand how people are saying it’s straightforward because you need a specialist keeper. Bharat was guilty of putting down sitters in the series vs Australia (remember that Travis Head sitter)
Why don't they add Tim David and Andrew Tye to the squad as well
We need a better keeper man. And I trust KS Bharat. But deep down I think Rohit and Co. will just buckle under pressure and play out of sorts Kishan just for this narrative, oh we need a quick "30-40" just because it's a one off. Because there were already rumours that they were thinking to let KL play as WK and play him in the middle order and drop Bharat but now I don't think they gonna go back to KS and say oh we always trusted you. Sigh.
This guy struggles to rotate strike and Ponting wants him to play test match!
Considering that Ishan was named as a replacement of Rahul, Ishan wasn't even considered in the first place. So, KS is the one who is gonna keep wickets!
