*Official* India Tour of New Zealand 2019

Kuggeleijn bowling some real heat that over

Hope Pant can get some runs here, han't done much in his limited T20/ODI appearances IIRC.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

not sure what the point of holding fergusons last over is, if we're gonna win this we need a two or three wicket over now.

Dhoni is here, the game is going to the 19th or even 20th :-)

Why would you when you have two bowlers bowling 90+ mph go to Mitchell and Southee? Just doesn’t make sense

it's williamson making the mistake of thinking he can win in this situation by restricting india

Rishab Pant gets fair amount of runs but I have to say I've never seen worse looking batsman. He looks like 4th grade club cricketer but every effective. If he was around in the 90s he wouldn't have got a game for first class cricket. Good on him though to stick to what works for him.

This star dugout commentary is atrocious. Is there no way to switch to local kiwi commentary?

he's a pinch hitter in the gilchrist mould. can look awkward when he doesnt come off.

I wouldn't call Gilly a pinch hitter. He has awesome technique, class player and looked very pleasing.

Pant is to batting what Malinga is to bowling. Both very effective.

Yeah he does look very agricultural when he’s trying to go quick (which is most of the time)

His keeping is very similar. Just looks like an unrefined cricketer despite playing the game from a young age.

That said, it must be noted that "approved" sound-based edge detection technology (like RTS, UltraEdge) features in ICC's minimum requirement for implementing DRS in a match, but heat-based edge detection technology (like Hot Spot) does not.

I like how they've called him Baig throughout the article.

 

[Bijed]

I can be wrong but whenever there is a series in India, hotspot technology is almost never used in DRS. So maybe they consider RTS as more authentic way of telling if bat hit the ball?

Quite possibly and I think RTS is more reliable than hotspot insofar as hotspot will (relatively) often miss an edge which RTS picks up, but surely if hotspot is showing that he hit it, that ought to be considered incontrovertible?

The moment RTS showed nothing on the screen, Umpire immediately asked to load not out. So he was just following the rules, and not doing so might have created bigger controversy, more so for him.

Somewhat refutes the authenticity of the article.

Kuggelejin's pace and boundary hitting has been good, excited for him. Lots of potential there. His length in the first match was trash though. Also, excited to see what Tickner can do if he plays. NZ will miss Lockie but Tickner deserves this, gun white ball bowler in the domestics.
