Oooo, isn’t this exciting! Test matches having real stakes… it may be a messy tournament structure, but I love that the remaining matches all have weight to them
it reminds me of college football in America where every loss makes it harder to qualify, so every match has stakes. I like how cricket has made Tests even more interesting with this
real stake? it ALWAYS HAD STAKES. it's just that this generation is brain rotted into thinking anything that isn't a "eye cee cee" tournament doesn't matter. idc if nz get whitewashed at home to eng the coming month, them beating india in these two matches is bigger than them winning the wtc. stupid white ball brainrot
Remember when the Indian and English elitists were talking about making the WTC a two division structure? Counting out teams like Sri Lanka, South Africa and even New Zealand. Well England can't compete anyway but it would be fantastic to see India not qualify for the final. And perhaps after this they'll move towards a system where everyone plays the same number of tests and some teams don't go decades without playing or touring each other.
As Indian, this is really scary & embarrassing. The fact that our team which has a legacy of being good against spin were struggling against it. Meanwhile newzealand batsmen played better against spin than our Indian batsmen. We also couldn't play spin in srilanka. This must be fixed immediately by team management. It's like losing one of our main strength. Also senior player like Virat and Rohit should start playing domestic matches to improve against spin. I can't believe that player like Virat has been struggling against spin from such a long time.
@@lonewolfe2502 No need to feel embarrassed. Our current players are not great against spin and this was going to take place someday. It was our lower order that bailed us out in BGT 2023, Ind vs Eng 2024 and Ind vs Ban 2024 on most occasions. We needed a hammering to open our eyes and make changes in order to truly build a team where almost everyone is in form.
this is what happened with Aussies in insane run of 8 years home dominance we did it for 12, everyone wanted them to lose at home but India vs SA WTC finals is what I am waiting for. In reality this is the transition phase we will have to work upon our short-comings and Nz were simply better. I hope you can be a "neutral" cricket fan if we do the impossible i.e- Defeat Aus in Aus comprehensively ( its very very tough ) and take SA for a maze-ride in WTC finals 😅 you never know which India turns up we can very well be out of finals contention but we will rather go down with a fight than just fade away or win it in fairytale fashion.
From a neutral pov We really needed a team who keeps loosing to small teams despite having 3 ICC trophies in past , so that there is a fun in game IYKYK 😂 Dont try to look neutral to hide your fuking intentions There is no one in Comment section who is 100 % neutral , and it is natural , everybody has. Soft corner for their country
Key Tidbit, South Africa play Sri Lanka in Durban which plays like a pitch in the sub continent these days, it is also the same venue where South Africa bowled out Bangladesh for 53 with only spin bowlers.
not just spinners it's left-arm spinners paradise. Herath got a man of the match, and Lasith Embuldeniya also got a fifer and sl won both. also sl won both a tour matches recently in south africa.
This WTC was getting boring and as Indian this loss hurts alot but as a cricket fan the race to WTC final has become spicier. NZ has realistic chance, SA ckearly have shot in top 2. Aus and Ind are always there but looking at BGT only one of them will qualify. So SL and SA would be mouth watering series considering one of them gets the shot to final. NZ still has chance and they make finals they should be winners without a question.
I hope South Africa don't qualify ahead of NZ. For one, I'm a kiwi and support the Black Caps. For another, it would be a massive kick in the teeth, disrespect and a farce that they could send their B team, nay, C team to NZ, get smashed, and then still qualify ahead of the team that broke India's fortress. That cannot be allowed to happen.
@@kamrankaifi6707 Most probably, IND will win the third match, and moroever, since ENG and NZ conditions are very similar, ENG will win at least 1 in NZ.
I'm a Kiwi, and I can't see us or India making the final. 1) An Aussie clean sweep or something like 4-0 is far more likely than a 2-2 or 3-2 result either way, with the way India are in transition as a team and without a lot of fast bowling stocks. Yes there is Bumrah, but who else? He can't do it all alone. 2) South Africa are on form and have a lot of home games. 3) NZ at home vs England is never going to end with NZ sweeping the series. I can't see draws happening, but it'll be an even series because both teams are gearing towards similar home conditions. My prediction is a SA vs Aus final with Rabada, Cummins and Hazelwood doing most of the damage for an Aus win.
My money is on NZ for the 3rd test. They will be full of confidence and believe that they can win. India, like Australia doesn't take a backfoot step but what I have noticed about Indian players is when they are under pressure, they just don't know what to do and thus not making them as tough of an opposition.
@@callofduty3807 We have had upper hand over Aus for a decade now in tests wrt bilateral series, you don't know which India turns up in Mumbai, you are wrong in your judgement we perform the best when pushed to corner, we did it in BGT for last 2 series. If Ind wins this one Nz will be out of contention ,then it gives us a boost to go all out in BGT, yes there's no Shami and advantage aussies but we never know, hopefully we step on the gas though Nz is in form to win this. Nz has always troubled us 😅😅 but 1 win can turn the tide- India will want SA as opposition in finals rather Aus, so either its us or aussies for WTC finals , a repeat of T20 WC final and psychological advantage.
I was waiting when you let out a new video in co-relation to your previous one.... Must say ..... finally test cricket now has some meaning and has got interesting.
I think NZ winning 3-0 in India vs India has to be the Test Series of this WTC 2023-25 cycle. The most unlikeliest unexpected test series victory of all the test series played in this 2 years cycle.
Sri Lanka just have to win a match in SA somehow l. They will destroy Australia at home only rain can stop them winning that series 2-0. That will almost guarantee there place in the WTC. India is going to lose in Australia could be even a 4-0 or 5-0.
Buddy Australia's spin stocks are brilliant, and they play spin well and their pacers bowl on Asian tracks well, they smashed you last time ans the second test was lost because of a career best from chandimal which he's shown no glimpse of since then, It's freaking Australia not England
@@uditshivaram6538 buddy. Sri Lanka has other players who will step up if its not CHANDIMAL these days. stop trying to frame Sri Lanka has a one man team. Apart from Lyon AUS spin attack is no challenge and yes they have better pace bowlers but it doesn't matter in Sri Lanka conditions . Overall SL vs AUS series will go . SL 2-0 or AUS 1 vs SL 1- drawn series. AUS has never really done well In Sri Lanka except for 1982 and 2004 . Even the 2011 test series which AUS won in Sri Lanka 1-0 was simply because of poor leadership from dlishan. During that 2011 dilshan era as captain Sri Lanka had a habit of turning possible winning or drawing matches into losing positions.
@@uditshivaram6538 Yes but sl have to do some doctoring pitch should be dry and spin should come from the start and then cover the ground with grass so stark won't be able to get any reverse. aus will play two seamser sl should not play any seamer instead add wellalage and another batter like pavan rathnayaka who can tackle spin.
@@volvoxc9086 what’s the point of getting in the wtc final by doctoring pitches to heavily spin. That’s not how lords conditions are, you also need practice for those conditions
Also India losing 5-0 isn’t happening if thry beat them 2 times in a row at home last time with an inexperienced team, how bad do you think India are? You are living in a dream my friend.
Until all test playing teams get the same amount of games then i'll pay attention to the test championship, until then its ridiculous to see some nations are playing twice as many games every year than others, I understand from a financial point of view u need to make money but still
And that India series was at home. Very lucky with the draw with getting 2 of their 3 away series being Bangladesh and West Indies. Makes the case for a two-tier promotion/relegation WTC more compelling. Add Afghanistan, Ireland and Zimbabwe. 5-6 series overall 4 or 5 against your group, and at least 1 cross-division series for development. Away series wins get bonus points. I’d maybe also cap the available points for 2-match series at 90%
@@njokic2176 cricket shouldn’t run on being petty like this 😂 this is bad for all countries cause while most others ARE playing those top teams, SA isn’t
The only way IND can play WTC. ** One long short Australia pay in overconfidence and Zero Cricket scene just like we (IND) did with NZ ...+++ WE need lot of LUCK on our side. MOST probably BGT AUS will easy 3-1 or 4-1.
India: Over 1,500 players England: Around 410 players Australia: Approximately 200 players New Zealand: Around 150 players South Africa: Roughly 450 players Pakistan: About 450 players Sri Lanka: Around 510 players West Indies: Approximately 200 players Bangladesh: Around 200 players Afghanistan: About 200 players
You can really see how NZ punches above their weight. They seem to have some good systems in place. An example of this is how they've taken SA discards such as Wagner and Conway and turned them into world class test players. I'm an NZ fan, and as much as I'd like to see them in the final again I reckon SA vs SL would be a great final for world cricket.
NZ would no doubt beat them with the help of some extra Saffa discards. All they need to do is check around Auckland’s North Shore see whoes available that weekend.
It would be even better if India loses the 3rd test as well to NZ. That would make SA and Aus strong contenders and kick out India from wtc final qualification race.
south African cricket team is the father of chokers in cricket. This has already proved infinite times constantly and consistently. They will remain as chokers forever until cricket exist. Mark my words.
Mostly SA vs AUS is WTC final. IN case INDIA / BCCI wants to qualify must need to do: Rohit Sharma: The young and energetic Rohit needs to step away from this Test team.(All good things must come to an end). KL Rahul: Keep him away from red-ball cricket.(SOME BAD things NEVER ends). Team Composition: Play with one spinner all-rounder, one fast all-rounder, and three fast bowlers. Pujara: Bring him back to the No. 3 spot; we need him in Australia. TRY same Hardik for 3 test matches. .............................................. Hope: Virat Kohli: He needs to find his old form again. Gill and Pant: Both must perform better than their last outing in Australia. Debutants: Abhimanyu, Sarfaraz, and Nitish Reddy should have strong debuts (aim for a 40 average for Abhimanyu and Sarfaraz, and Reddy with 30 average and 8-10 wickets). Then we have some changes. ** One long short Australia pay in overconfidence and Zero Cricket scene just like we (IND) did with NZ **
Well agree with Rohit, kl rahul , Virat part but moving back to pujara kind of kills the whole purpose of transition. India might lose the series here and there with the young squad but india should stick to it. I am more in favor of rahane than pujara. He can captain this team for 2 years, while India finds a young captain which I think they still haven't found yet.
South africa is definitely going to qualify for the final. New zealand qualifying is unlikely because england could win at least one game against them. Like you said, if NZ qualifies , they should be given the mace 😂. wankhede test is a must win for both india and NZ to have any chances alive. although test series is won,the stakes are high for this match.
Great analysis there. You didn't dig in to the possibility of Pakistan possibly making it probably because it is next to impossible but there is a slight probability: Pak wins all 4 of their remaining tests and drops no points for over rate penalties. (In their history, they only have 2 test wins in SA across different series so it is huge ask) Ind only getting 1 win out of their remaining 6 tests. Aus win 6 out of their remaining 7 tests. NZ losing at least 2 of their remaining 4. SL wins 1 in SA. Then loses the other 3. SA wins not more than 2 in their remaining 5. Do the math now. The table will look like a cliffhanger in the end with Pak sneaking just through. 🤯
I hope its a white was for India against NZ that will give them a wake up call for Border gavaskar. I don't care about the NZ series to be honest and its a good thing they lose. I would say Border gavaskar is way more prestigious than one off WTC.
@@Nignag. Here are the scores of the last test series between SL VS NZ. 2nd TEST SL 602.5D/NZ 88/NZ 373 ALL OUT. 1ST TEST SL 305 ALL OUT/NZ 340/SL 309/NZ 211 ALL OUT. You have zero brain cells or just purposely trying to get attention online because you have a sad life. Just STFU and get a life😂😜

Playing equal number of tests should be mandatory. Ideally 6*3=18. NZ and SA have advantage in the current system as they play lesser number of tests.
@MerinTv The advantage was given to them by the teams playing the larger number of tests.

I hope its a white was for India against NZ that will give them a wake up call for Border gavaskar. I don't care about the NZ series to be honest and its a good thing they lose. I would say Border gavaskar is way more prestigious than one off WTC.
SA vs Australia will be the final. Australia will most likely win 4 in the BGT and both in Lanka. SA will most likely win all their matches now.
bro no one can win in sri lankan paddy field pitches exept the sri lankans
@@Nignag. Here are the scores of the last test series between SL VS NZ. 2nd TEST SL 602.5D/NZ 88/NZ 373 ALL OUT. 1ST TEST SL 305 ALL OUT/NZ 340/SL 309/NZ 211 ALL OUT. You have zero brain cells or just purposely trying to get attention online because you have a sad life. Just STFU and get a life😂😜
Lol.Even though paddy pitches are made in India, they are not made like that in Sri Lanka. The pitches with 600+, 350+ marks are made. So think twice before saying stupid things.🤣
Lol.last two series in sri lanka can't win ausies.how do you win they say?🤣
