WTC Final finally we are up there for the final battle of the World Test Championship

India vs New Zealand test match has finally started after the interruption of day’s one play due to bad weather forecast conditions under the hostile batting conditions of England. But it is not the first time when the match was affected by the weather conditions in England. We have witnessed the 2019 world cup too got suffered or delayed due to the weather conditions.

So what’s the new thing with the test championship final will the boards of the cricket looking to redefine the brand of cricket with ideal contest of bat and ball or is it just to generate revenue from this test match in the long chronology of cricket. To be honest, it is another test match with idea to generate revenue from the game. There is no fast bowler in either of the side who can bowl over 155 kmp/h like Brett Lee, Shane Bond, Dale Steyn, Micheal Holding or Andy Roberts. Even in the batting line-up it’s hard to find player like Virender Sehwag, Nathan Astle or Rahul Dravid who can give the assurance of dependability over the crease under any circumstances.  

 

Let me just rewind my memory and shows you what is the real test cricket and how it looks like with the Passion of cricket.




But there is something to definitely to watch out for some of the interesting talents like Shubman Gill and Devon Conway who are very impressive with the recent batting performances for the various series respectively so far.

With the day’s one play has been washed out by rain, the start of day two comes with blackaps won the toss and decided to bowl first which even Virat Kohli wants to have first if they won the toss.

 

“We would have probably bowled first as well looking at the conditions. But as you rightly said, runs on the board has been our strength over the years and that’s something we are going to look to back. Hence, the make-up of our side, we bat pretty deep. Look in a big final, runs on the board, however many you get are certainly a bit of an advantage first up,” Virat Kohli said.

 

So there is change in the team India line-up after day one washed out,

“Not really (whether India thought about changing the team). As you saw, the make-up of our side, the balance is such that we prepare for conditions that might change or vary. That helps us to bat deep as well. Looking at those two spinners, they can probably bowl in any condition. If there’s any dampness on the pitch, then those two guys are pretty accurate to create some pressure as well,” Kohli explained.
