Not Terrible
Typically we get a bit of swing and seam down there but over recent years they've played pretty true throughout the match.What is the pitch like at Wellington generally?

because the umpire hasn't been enforcing the law throughout, so why should they enforce it once it matters?This doesn't make any sense. The laws of the game are pretty clear, why should they not be enforced if it becomes clear that he hasn't bowled a legitimate delivery?
...Because it's the law?because the umpire hasn't been enforcing the law throughout, so why should they enforce it once it matters?
Nah, can't understand this. It happens virtually all th time these days. Front foot no balls are missed all the time. So just because they haven't been called all match, they shouldn't be called when the umpire decides to refer it? Especially when it's a match turning moment. Strange if you're trying to justify the decision.Have you ever tried telling whether you are over-stepping or not? If you think you are doing everything absolutely fine, then get robbed of a wicket because the umpire has failed to warn you that you've been over stepping the whole time.
Baffling.because the umpire hasn't been enforcing the law throughout, so why should they enforce it once it matters?
But it's putting the bowler at a disadvantage to apply the laws inconsistently....Because it's the law?
Well the solution is then to apply it more consistently, not completely ignore it. That's just perverse.But it's putting the bowler at a disadvantage to apply the laws inconsistently.
Wtf are you on aboutbecause the umpire hasn't been enforcing the law throughout, so why should they enforce it once it matters?
Oh I'm not arguing that the bowler doesn't get a raw deal in all this, but don't see how you can argue that the solution to a badly applied law is to not apply the law at all.I agree with Spark, but I also think its tough on the bowler if he's not being called on it previously. Hard to make an adjustment if you don't know you've made the mistake
A result pitch, weather permitting.What is the pitch like at Wellington generally?
Not saying otherwise.Well the solution is then to apply it more consistently, not completely ignore it. That's just perverse.

Well yeah but what about the batsman? He's been given out off a technically illegal ball.I agree with Spark, but I also think its tough on the bowler if he's not being called on it previously. Hard to make an adjustment if you don't know you've made the mistake
Just a really good test wicket these days. Plenty of bounce and pace for the bowlers & generally fairly flat. Here's the last test played there in Dec 2nd Test: New Zealand v West Indies at Wellington, Dec 11-13, 2013 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN CricinfoWhat is the pitch like at Wellington generally?
Easy for me to say but cheer up, India only showed up for the second half of this match and still almost won - they have a big chance at the Basin ReserveExactly. To come so close to such massive, important moments and then lose is just gut wrenching.
Haha, I completely missed that I was replying to someone elseNot saying otherwise.
Not to mention the illegal balls he's already facedWell yeah but what about the batsman? He's been given out off a technically illegal ball.
Well I'm agreeing with Spark in that the rules should be enforced, its just a bad situation and is harsh on the bowler. As has been said, its high time a system was developed to catch noballs automatically.Well yeah but what about the batsman? He's been given out off a technically illegal ball.
