Aussies are geared up for BGT and announced their squad for the upcoming India tour.

4 spinners in the squad led by Lyon. Todd Murphy is 22yo and considered second best spinner in Australia, next 2 spinners are Agar and Swepson.

Apart from that they also have 1 part timer offie Travis head, maybe add another part timer Marnus in the list.

Honestly, I am not sure how others feel about Sri Lanka's chances of being one of the finalists in the world test championship, but I personally believe they have a good chance of doing well in this tournament.

Additionally, Sri Lanka still has a few important matches left to play. As a result, I do not think there is any way other teams can underestimate Sri Lanka. In the most likely scenario, we will be able to see a final between Australia and India. But that is still not very certain. It is possible that other teams will have a chance as well. And as long as there is a chance, there is a way in cricket.

Four teams in the race for the final two spots with Australia is surely having their seat confirm after winning against West Indies and South Africa and now three teams are fighting hard with most chances we will have India as other team but still things can change like South Africa and Sri Lanka can upset their opponents for the interesting end of this WTC 2023 round but with the current form and quality mostly peoples love to have Australia vs India final because both teams are having good quality and top players those can compete with each other in this format.

Sri Lanka and South Africa having good performance in past but sadly right now both are facing problems and their current form and quality is also not good to compete with Australia so things looking good for the two top ranked teams to compete with each other in final.

The Indian government not happy with news channels covering the accident news of Rishab Panth. The government stated that Rishabh Pant coverage distressing: Govt asks channels to follow code. I also personally do not like the way most news channels & social media covered this accident. They were trying to increase their TRP & clicks by constantly focusing on this news. They should have let the man rest and recover rather making money out of it.

There is no doubt that Rishabh Pant was driving well over the limit and that caused the accident. It will be better for the government not to encroach on the freedom of speech and let the media channels decide on their own content, unless they break the criminal laws of the country. I wish him a speedy recovery, but at the same time this is a lesson for everyone who drives rashly and endangers the lives of others on the road. Just because he is a cricketer, that doesn't mean that the speed limits are not applicable for him. If it was some ordinary person, then already a dozen lawsuits would have been filed against him.

Biggest issue right now with India in tests is that they are missing a player like Pant who can score freely with a crazy high strike rate which is why Australia shouldn't be underestimated in their upcoming series against India.

The strike rate doesn't really matter in a test match. Right? But, yes. Playe like Rishab can change the game. As you all know he is unable to play due to the injury. I hope he will recover soon and come back to the field.

Rishab Pant is a great player. The strike rate does not matter for the Test format. However, batting with a good striker rate at critical moments makes it easier to win the match. On the other hand, if the pitch is not conducive to batting, scoring runs quickly can give a decent target. And so India needed a batsman like Rishab Pant. As India has been facing some problems with the batting line-up for a long time. India needed an experienced player like Pant against an experienced team like Australia. It will be very difficult for India to win against Australia.

Winning against Australia is tough, and Australia too have the same mentality. Winning against India isn't an easy thing as they do with other countries. Rishab Pant is out due to the accidental rest. To be part of the team it takes time. There will be alternate to fill the position. According to me it is time to find the good in new players as getting opportunity is really difficult thing among the politically influenced selection.

South Africa or India have the best chances to take the second spot in my opinion. Am expecting South Africa to whitewash the Windies, India to draw or barely win against the Australians and NZ to win against the Lankans.
India need to give it their best since Australia are decimating everything in their way these days. Exciting stuff.

Even right now things are very interesting but for me most chances we will have India in final for the second time and then a good interesting final between Australia and India at The Oval which will be favourable for the Australia because mostly India is struggling here.
South Africa can whitewash to West Indies and New Zealand will be winner at home against Sri Lanka which could be ended for the both teams because most chances India will be won against Australia without any big trouble things looking positive for them at home for this series even Australia is also having positive results in last few series which bring them to the top of the WTC league table.

I wish we see the final between Australia and India in the test championship. When India is in the final of any ICC tournament it creates more hype, it creates more business and it creates more viewership as the cricket is more popular in India as compare to any other country.
With 15 matches, Australia are on the top at the moment followed by India who are at 58.93 points. Surprisingly Srilanka are at number three spot with 53.33 points.

From 2016 Australia has never lost a test series on thier homeground except two times against India. The chance of India again winning the series against them I'd pretty good but in cricket you cannot be 100 percent sure. India recently defeated Bangladesh on thier homeground in a test series but if you cannot compare Bangladesh with Australia. It wouldn't be easy for India to defeat the Australian test considering the form thie batters are in now.

Right now, we have three big teams in test format and these are Australia, India and England which are giving their best performance for last few years consistently and India is having edge at home against all other opponents which is also good for them now for this series most chances India will be winner no one having any doubt about this all but still things could be not easy for them because currently Australia playing very good cricket with all wins at home and having draw in Sri Lanka and won against Pakistan mean things could be good for this series where India wants to win by good margin for their place into WTC and this is possible but for the win all batsmen needs to perform very good specially Virat Kohli could be vital for them because he needs good return and here this is possible for him.

Personally, I am not very much interested in test cricket. I am also not very interested in the world test championship as well. Because test cricket has become outdated.

But at the same time, if there is any team that can make even test cricket interesting, those are India, England, and Australia. And I also like that the test cricket championship is heading toward the final between Australia and India. We all know that India has found some really good talent. But they have been performing really well in the shorter formats of cricket. So I am not sure how they are going to perform in test cricket.

Makes sense. India vs New Zealand generated high viewership figures in the last WTC final and this sort of stuff is good to help test cricket stay alive for a longer period if you think about it.

However, India need a lot of luck to go their way if they wish to occupy the 2nd spot.

I am not surprised about Sri Lankans Standing. Sri Lanka was a great top-class team. But, in the last couple of years, A lot of legends retires and they started getting worse. But, they still have a lot of good potential players.

And I think Australia can hold this position easily. Because if you look at their other competitors, they are far behind Australia. But in this case, India is in a good position but even then they are only two matches less than Australia where Australia has won ten matches But they lost four match and for that they got low rating .
And I think after Australia went ahead in the Test series with South Africa it became more difficult for others to get past them.

Australia have locked there position in finals and now there is competition between India, South Africa and Sri Lanka. "If India win the home series against Australia 3-1 or better, they will qualify for the final regardless of the results in other series" espncricinfo. India have good test record againest Australia as they have won last three series againest Australia, two of them are in Australia.

I believe India is going to be the one staying ahead as they already are. India is ahead by a good amount of points. I think India might be able to beat Australia if they go to the finals against Australia as well. India, Australia, and England are the only teams that still make test cricket look good and entertaining. I believe the final is going to be very entertaining if it is Australia versus India. And I do not think any other team will go to the finals against Australia except for India.

Indeed, India is one of the countries with the sport of cricket which is still loved and really paid attention to there.
Many local cricket matches are held with the aim of finding talented and trained cricket athletes to make them professional cricket athletes and able to bring India's name as a country that won cricket matches.
However, if the final match between Australia and India will actually make it a very fierce match because the two countries have very good permanent quality cricket strength, the match is also very exciting to watch and is a match that cricket fans have been waiting for.

India and Australia are equally strong teams and they gave excellent performances in all parts of world either its their home ground or some other country.
Time will tell who'll be in finals as Newzealand and Pakistan are good teams too.

When politics takes a reliable place on the cricket board, it affects the players as well. You can be a good player, it doesn't matter how well you play, is not included in the national team if there is even the slightest doubt you have relationship with the opposing political parity. Even though you will not given a chance to play. Such images have also been seen on various cricket boards. There will definitely be changes in Pakistan cricket. As there is a new shift in responsibilities, there will definitely be a change in the game. The previous Test match between New Zealand and Pakistan was finished by draws. How much their game has changed will be seen in the coming days.

Political intervention into the sports activities can be seen much on the Asian countries. I'm not aware about the involvement of political pressure into Western boards. It looks like they've got separate authority that takes the responsibility and takes decision. For this reason we can see the best from them playing without pressure.

There is no doubt that it is apparent that the Pakistan Cricket board does not have enough confidence in their own players. Otherwise, I think a lot of test matches could have an end result. In order to achieve a draw, the Pakistan Cricket Board is simply going to prepare a batting pitch. If the shorter format is implemented, I hope that they will give their players a pitch on which they will be able to show their skills to their coaches.

The other test match between Pakistan and NZ will be starting in Karachi today.
I have not been able to watch the match lately and I am more interested in knowing how did Pakistani people react - after NZ team came back to Pakistan after so many years.

Test series is already ended now we have first ODI today at Karachi which is already in progress.
