They are winning 1 game in Australia minimum 

Don't think so.  But let's see. Apart from whitewashing us, they have been crap everywhere, including at home

Bazball worked best against NZ and WI. 

 

NZ better hope for some success here because they are going to get crushed 4-0 in Australia later this year. 

NZ will Play 4 test match series in australia?

England now has the slowest wickets in the world.

[cowboysfan]

enough movement  here on a cloudy day to fox these Bazballers.

[vvvslaxman]

Strongly built and fit NZ bowlers are exploiting the movement big time. I am not sure India has bowlers to exploit movement

[Lone Wolf]

Will o Rourke is destined to become MoTS against India .. no way our chomus can handle this guy.

 

He is Jamieson on steroids.

Root is so beautiful to watch. Such a simple repeatable technique with least moving parts.

 

I jinxed him , he is gone.

NZ has best fast bowling resources atm across formats and Saffers are second to them.

 

Talent is ooozing.

 

Matt Fisher is still on sidelines and he himself is so talented 

[vvvslaxman]

Root got bounced out.. Has gotten out to Booms similar a lot of times. O Rourke is what a  soft gentle giant.

They are used to exploiting movement. Southee, Boult , Henry.. even CDG..along the lines new crop of bowlers also exploit the movement.

Same thoughts. Bounce and movement.

Captain is hiding behind his WK.

Crappy English side won a test in Australia.

NZ have much better bowling unit to not nick a test this time around.

 

If they clean sweep India and later SL at home they will be super confident to win a test at least in Australia 

[vvvslaxman]

This shreyas Iyer type of dismissal is one common dismissal for ROot in helpful conditions.

Every time Nzl have a decent looking team people fancy them to do something in aus. Evertime they go back with their tail between their legs.

plus the wickets in NZ are quicker and bouncier,so triple threat for our untested batsmen.

[Lone Wolf]

O Rourke  India would kill to have a fast bowlers of this kind.  Ever since his debut series he always looked like a guy with so much potential.

 

Whatta comeback after the injury
