DK has become uber comfortable as a SKY commentator. He is driving the analysis  part most of the time. 5 years Gone by. 

[vvvslaxman]

It will be nice if broadcast shows the running speed of a fast bowler. 

[Lone Wolf]

Ever since that T20 WC final thrashing at the hands of Sanju Abhishek.. Henry has become half the bowler he once was

 

Won't be surprised if Tickner Smith O Rourke and Jamieson start India series

His speeds are early 130s. Actually he can bowl at 140k. Lost a lot of pace.

Was bowling 140k in T20 WC, that thrashing in final has totally taken the sting out of his bowling.  Once Abhishek ran down the pitch at him, his life has been turned upside down lol

He is not a T20 bowler. Infact most NZ fwstbowlers are not good T20 bowlers. Ferguson on his day.That's it. O routke also got thrashed last season i think. Santner is their best T20 bowler

 

[vvvslaxman]

Once the keeper stood up , Henry has become a different bowler. If you don't have feet movement Henry is a dangerous bowler. Rohit knws more about that.

He is at his best in ODI powerplays.

James rew. 22 years. So far looking okay.

[vvvslaxman]

Traditional lower bounce at the oval. PUlling is easier.

Rachin is  giving me Jaiswal vibes. 3rd drop in a row in Test cricket.

Didn't cost much this time around but his catching is as worse as some of the Indians in our unit.

 

He has dropped way too many catches in his short career so far except vs India but costliest one is perhaps Cam Green in Hagley Oval.. probably denied NZ a rare test win over Australia

Nathan Smith, Henry proper wobble merchants and O Rourke with his extra pace and bounce.  Our nemesis Jamieson is anyways present 

It will take something special for us to win in NZ.

OUr players neither have temperament nor have technique to cope with long period of exam.

KL, Gill and Jaiswal are competent enough.  Need 2 more batsmen to handle consistent lengths and wobble seam

We need 2 more batsmen to handle the wobble.   KL, Jaiswal and Gill have the backfoot game to do as well as anyone possibly can.  

 

I'm more concerned about our seam attack.   Can we repay them in kind with relentless lengths and wobble seam a couple of high release point bowlers?

 

Left to be seen.

Not sears and Foulkes who are better in white ball.   But they have matt fisher(90 mph) and a workhorse - michael rae in addition to the 4 seamers playing in this Test

Lol, ECB chickened out

Management has wasted lots of time on Sai , Sundar.

 

There is no one identified for 4,5 position and this may cost us.

 

The batting line-up may be Jaiswal, Rahul,Gill,Pant, Jurel,Sai, Sundar, Reddy
