[Lone Wolf]

Must say Kiwi batters have awful techniques barring Mama and Rachin.

 

They are too good at maximizing their ability

SA is flattering when they sent their D team for three test series where Ithink KW scored 4 100s.

  Our guys for reach even dig into other test series

12.21pm: Huge update from Paul: "Stumps are in and everyone's warming up on the outfield, not having lunch..." Don't tell us there's been an outbreak of common sense?

[vvvslaxman]

DK moved there to do SKy commentary. They are discussing about battning technique with Kane williamson.

[vvvslaxman]

Kane williamson dropped a surprise truth. His batting against spin is inspired by Gauti. :) This video is worth the watch later as he goes through his entire repertoire of shots against various type of bowling.

[vvvslaxman]

Vaibhav has taken over the world by storm. FOr 15 minutes Ian ward, SImon DOull, Mark butcher discuss about Vaibhav in an England vs NZ series :) He has become a superstar.

[vvvslaxman]

NZ has to produce Travis head like innings. We had a chance to chase 190 in much easier conditions. We made a meal of it.

[vvvslaxman]

Ollie Robinson cleans up Rachin. Hail Trundlers.

Hope he has someone in his corner to keep his head straight and focus only on cricket. 

[vvvslaxman]

Rachin has this weakness against ball that leaves him from the stumps. Sundar bowled him thrice exactly like that. Now Ollie robinson delivery left him he played the line not accounting for movement.

Fans are genuinely excited about these players because they can make the match worth watching. Srikkanth from the yester year, Sehwag, Pant kind of players are always going to draw the crowd.

[vvvslaxman]

Robinson is wreaking havoc.

[vvvslaxman]

Bhuvi definitely wasted a test career. This is the kind of balls he bowls a lot.

Times are different in that

(a) he is constantly bombarded with SM putting him on a pedestal. He is still a child and it is easy to get carried away.

(b) $$$$$$$$$$$$

 

Someone needs to keep him grounded. Tendulkar had his brother. Hopefully VS has someone.

Didn't help that he was oft-injured, no?

[putrevus]

If this was Indian fast bowlers defending this 4th innings total then it would have been a cake walk for NZ

yea. Was fully fit for every IPL though.

[vvvslaxman]

What the heck . Another rain interruption.  I have never seen  a test where every single ball is moving prodigiously like we saw in this test.
