*Official* India Tour of New Zealand 2019

Yeah. Dhoni getting out early actually gives India a small chance.

 

[harsh.ag]

Haha. Love Karthik's anguished filled howl.

the absolute motorways in domestic cricket in the late 00s to the early 10s killed off most of the medium pacers. a few survived by being good, but the majority died. kids had to swing it, hit the deck or bowl wheels to make it.

it meant guys with serious talent but lacking in technique or application like munro became gods but the decks becoming more varied in this decade means for every munro there's a young or a nicholls now.

it's also handy that stupid academy isn't breaking fast bowlers anymore.

Southee's going to be important here.

 

[thundaboult]

And the only thing keeping that average speed lower are a couple of intentional slower balls.

 

[NZTailender]

Tickner's acquitted himself well tonight imo

Having pace and doing something meaningful and effective with it are two vastly different things.

Cricket, indeed NZ cricket, has been littered with speedsters lacking nous

Ha ha one job for Southee to do and fluffling it so far.

 

[Flem274*]

southee is so bad at white ball cricket these days

 

[halba]

krunal too good. the pandyas deserve a spot for their batting but please dont bowl them. they are pie.

first over aside he'e been good so far tbh

 

[wellAlbidarned]

glad we remembered that you just have to bowl leg stump to krunal and he's ****ed

 

[NZTailender]

He's just been bowling short and from an angle. It's not been anything special. I agree he's come back well but this seems to be all he's got.

 

[thundaboult]

Arrrghhh...bad finish.

 

[Flem274*]

kuggs finding out the tough way 145kph on a good length doesn't scare international batsmen

 

[Athlai]

Wow guys, we got a close game right up to the very last over.

 

[thundaboult]

I do not trust southee here....hopefully he proves me wrong.

 

[Mike5181]

Good ****. We've got a game boys.
