Bashir running through them.

Have they prepared a turner ?

 

They don't give turners to opposition. But if you keep plugging you can get wickets. Usually run scoring wicket except on day 1 . Batting will become easier

When NZ tours INdia we have to give them fast and bounciest pitches. We can effectively take their trundlers out of the equation. Dharamsala, Mohali kind of pitches.

Just make normal flat pitches with a hint of spin. 

 

 

[Nikhil_cric]

0.8 degrees of seam movement in 1st session.

 

Batting first up is just a whole lot tougher than it used to be 5 years ago. 

 

New Zealand have done well despite losing the toss on a greenish pitch.  

 

India would've been bowled out for less than 200.

We have a mental block against them.   Likes of Will O Rourke and Ben Sears would trouble us on a fast surface.

Unless we beat them in NZ it won't go away.

This is Southee's last series as well.

 

Our next visit in 2026 we will face O Rourke ,Smith , Sears Jamieson likely

Dropping Will Young after the series he had in India wasn't a good look.

In Nz its always tougher to bat first, pitch will slowly become a road

This will take turn and become two paced.

Kiwis doctor pitches only against subcontinent sides.

Compare this Hagley Oval Track with the one against India in 2020.

Kiwaahs have the most spin unfriendly conditions in the world, ahead of even Saf. If they take wickets it is only due to false shots and pitch deteriorating. It is usually not that hot for it to even deteriorate much. It's why they barely produce good spinners.

Dunno why is he bagged by Gollum da. He scores runs in seaming conditions. Its like Kohli scoring on home turners but we know that never happens now

These guys are quicker than Cricket australia

Let’s hope both teams get points deducted for slow over rates and they are off to a good start.

[Laaloo]

The pitch is not easy at all. Variable bounce and ball kicking off the pitch. Hope the fker root gets bounced out first ball he faces.

[rageaddict]

NZ 348 AO, good score. Glenn Philips with another useful knock down the order.
