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

If there is bounce his get out of jail shot becomes risky.

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. 

Usually they go with swing bowlers who are useless in Australia.  Wagner was the lone hit the deck option they had last time.  Less said about Boult the better.

 

Australian team is by and large still an old unit.  It would hard for their Pacers to play all 4 tests.  NZ have a chance just like England had and they did win a game in the end.

So true, I don't think they have the attack to dent Aussies in Australia.They never had except one series hadlee series in 1985.

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

I said it when I saw this guy on debut... There is just no way to avoid this guy.  Exactly the kind our team hates..  him knocking over Pant on 99 when India was cruising in B'lore test is still a painful memory 

 

I was kinda hoping he stays injured at least for this series but our luck

yup.. That tap to third man. It is the same go to shot for Kane. But he would often get drag the ball on to stumps.

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

Thank you my friend for doing the Lords work

Was dropped multiple times along the way.  He is lucky that way but Kiwis won't repeat that mistake 

[vvvslaxman]

O ROurke's bowling action is not easily repeatable.  Very stiff hands just becfore the release. He migth be susecptible to injuries.

Jacob bETHELL will be murdered in the english press for prioritizing ipl over first class cricket.

Siraj almost had a nightmare at the oval when he dropped Brook

[Lone Wolf]

NZ's obsession with Conway is never ending.

I refuse to believe that there aren't better players in NZ.

 

Kya hi chomu hai ye

[vvvslaxman]

I think Brook is switched on. This could get very ugly for NZ if they don't get him out soon enough
