*Official* Match 2 - Kenya v New Zealand

[thierry henry]

Some very uneven bounce in this pitch.

Is that not exactly what he's doing?

I am open to the argument that the radar is pretty much generating random numbers though

 

[Bahnz]

I'm not really watching the game. Is he actually only bowling at 125 clicks? Thought he got it up over 140 quite a bit in the Pakistan series.

For some bizarre reason, they only show the bowling speeds about once an over, so it's impossible to get any idea of what his average pace is. The odd ones that have been showing up are around the 130-135 area.

Bennett is awesome cos he can bowl 125kph at the stumps

Shades of Bond

I was more rolling eyes at the suggestion that anyone thinks Bennett is awesome. He is getting some decent inswing though, as was Southee earlier, which is quite strange given they're both usually outswing bowlers.

Another goes.

He knocked over their best player by comprehensively beating him for pace, and it registered 126.5kph.

Was thinking the same thing. Brisk pace against the minnows can work like express pace against NZ

So you think 125Ks is brisk pace?

 

[thierry henry]

lol this is ridiculous

 

[thierry henry]

So you think 125Ks is brisk pace?

No. Bennett does visually appear to be bowling quicker than that.

 

[Prince EWS]

Haha this is ridiculous. It's like bowling to the tail on Lara Cricket 07 - half volleys on middle stump FTW.

 

[Cevno]

This match will be over by the time the next one starts at this rate.

Yeah mid to high 130s I reckon. Too quick for Kenya.

 

[morgieb]

Jesus Christ Kenya are poor.

 

[thierry henry]

lols, 2/4 of the Kenyan lbws have been not out, and they only reviewed the ridiculously plumb one

 

[M0rphin3]

Yeah their speed guns are faulty, no way Bennett's that slow.

 

[Bahnz]

No. Bennett does visually appear to be bowling quicker than that.

Yeah I'm leaning towards the random number generator theory to an extent. Yesterday Shairful Islam was clocked at 147 k's. Very strange.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Touch of inswing+decent pace+full and straight+inconsistent bounce+minnow batting lineup= Carnage.

 

[thierry henry]

Bennett's last ball registered 141kph, seems more like it

Is it just me or did hawkeye register the impact of that last lbw way before the ball actually struck the pad?

Nothing wrong with the pitch.. Kenya are piss poor.

 

[thierry henry]

Nothing wrong with the pitch.

The ball that got Obuya was back of a length and hit him on the shin. The one that got Waters was short of half volley length and hit him on the foot!

Yeah, **** batsmen misreading length can make a pitch look worse than it is. I might've been fooled there.
