Man.... That's disappointing. Didn't matter Kane may not have looked his best but if he was there unbeaten by lunch would have felt really assured.

Clearly you're just switching tabs, because I saw the graphic. It was skimming.

Just like Tom Latham is skimming on the verge of a match defining ton.
He did it on multiple occasions, not just the one they showed. Running right through the centre of the pitch in the danger zone, and then right in front of the non-striker.

I'm impressed with NZ batsmen though, for the first time our bowlers have to work hard for wickets since England toured here in 2012.

Not good that over from Kane. This is a throwaway comment but Umesh seems like he has worked hard since last time I saw him.
He is bowling now instead of just executing a bowling action and going for speed
I like his follow through. He kind of skips and turns in one motion and returns to his mark to bowl another one. He is bowling his spell rather than one off Grenades. He has improved his mind set as a test bowler substantially
My throw away comment with no proof is that Kane wasn’t taking umesh seriously and hadn’t counted on yadav being a better bowler. I mean it was the last over before lunch from yadav and Kane tried an attacking shot at the first ball and then was dismissed to a ball that was a bog standard off cutter.
He wasn’t focused that over ( Kane )
I think he underrated his opponent. Just a comment

Meh, il get killed for saying this but bowling skill vs bowling skill southee is better than alot of his contemporaries, yes including Anderson and broad. Just wished some of these nz players got to play as many games.

Feel like Southee>Anderson would be an opinion more then 50% of the posters on here would agree with. I would wait until the end of this series to really seperate the two though, both have won there sides series in the subcontinent (England in India 2011). If southee can produce another good spell and nz win the series it would be a huge bonus for his record.

Anderson has been awesome for a long time. He does get the benefit of the Duke's ball I guess, but still he's been excellent for a long period of time.

You misinterpreted what you were seeing. I'm reading the book of truth literally and you're reading it from a perspective.

Whatever it takes!!!
Please explain to me oh wise one
Lol... the danger area starts a few feet from the crease, not straight from the stumps. Ottherwise no fast bowler ever will be able to follow through. Ashwin was never getting an inch into the danger area. The issue was that he was coming in the way of the non-striker and umpire and that is for them to sort it out. Ultimately it is creating a new angle as no bowler ever delivers from that close to the stumps and IMHO, as long as the bowler is able to deliver it (and it is very tough and can cause injury if you do it too long) I dont mind allowing it. Of course, you have to ensure you dont get in the way of the non-striker and if you do when they are running, you should be cut the penalty runs which the law dictates.
