***Official*** India in New Zealand 2013/14

[straw man]

Dhoni could be frustrating here with his ability to play and miss

 

[Bahnz]

Haha, look how many more overs Southee and Boult have bowled compared to anyone else!

 

[ohnoitsyou]

Doully talking sense here

 

[Flem274*]

just one more and we're into the tail. come on boys.

 

[Meridio]

Yeah, and McMillan talking rubbish as per usual.

Anyway, wonder how many more we'll give Boult and Southee.

 

[ohnoitsyou]

i think that might be it for Boult. Starting to look tired

 

[Flem274*]

nick one dhoni ya ****

 

[Woodster]

Developing into? 60 odd test wickets @ 21 in the last 20 months would suggest he's already there.

He is in an excellent period for sure, I'm personally not entirely sure I'd lump him up there with the very best just yet, maybe I just haven't seen as much of him in the last 12 months or so. It's his plan B bowling I'd like to see also when the ball does stop offering him something through the air.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

This pair are a joy to watch, look so dangerous all the time now. Hope they stay fit.

He hasn't needed a plan b because he's got the ball to swing everywhere

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Lol, jadega admits defeat

 

[Meridio]

Right, bowling change. We need Anderson and (presumably) Wagner to keep the pressure on. No freebies.

 

[Pothas]

Yeah they are great. In fact this whole New Zealand team is really likeable right now (apart from Wagner), easily my second favourite team right now. Not that England actually have a team.

 

[ohnoitsyou]

love how much swing Anderson manages to get

 

[Woodster]

Which is mightily impressive in itself, but there will surely come a time when his form just leaves him for a while and his wrist is for some reason not getting in the position it seemed to do so consistently and the ball's just not going for him. Of course his last nine Tests or so have been played in either New Zealand or England and they're two pretty good places to ply your trade as a swing bowler.

 

[straw man]

That is bizarre. Ian Smith says Watling's catch... and on replay yes it was

 

[Meridio]

Oh, ffs. Should have been Watling's catch.

 

[Prensel]

Yessss

 

[Mike5181]

Wagner you beauty! Good catch too.

And before then he was ripping Sri Lanka and India apart over there with genuine swing too.
