Blame Latham. He's let them bowl like this.

His 90 odd runs have caused this magnificent collapse make no mistake.

wait I thought this was the best conditions for pace bowlers in India ever of all time

 

[straw man]

Didn't expect much from Taylor (past it) or Blundell and Rachin (new) this innings, so we're exposed now. Pretty poor from Nicholls tbh.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Latham somehow needs to get to 150+ and Blundell and Ravindra to put some partnerships together.

Ah I see, you can't tell the difference between the cold winter mornings with the new ball and a sunny afternoon with an old one?

come on dude that's not what you said at the time is it.

 

[Gnske]

Latham better not hit a ton. He's cost his side four valuable wickets. Selfish and morally corrupt an innings as you could hope to see.

Read again. I said the first session with the new ball and then a bit of reverse even with an older one was as good as it gets for seamers here. It does not mean the Indian seamers are suddenly better than Indian spinners on this track.

The point is that Southee and Jamieson took wickets because they're good bowlers - and not any other weird proviso like "this is the most conducive pitch they'll ever get" or whatever. Ashwin and Ajax have got wickets because they've bowled well. Ishant hasn't because he's bowled crap. Our spinners didn't take wickets because they're not as good as India's.

Or simply:
- Southee and Jamieson get wickets because they are good bowlers who know how to extract the most from any pitch.
- NZ's spinners don't get wickets because they're not that good
- Ashwin and Ajax get wickets because they're very good bowlers
- Ishant doesn't because he's not that good and seems to have regressed in the last year or so.

 

[Test fan]

NZ already played 100 over in this inning but only Scored 226 , should have been 290 .

1. I did not say Southee and KJ were not good bowlers. I actually said they bowled well to get those wickets.
2. Immaterial
3. So are Ishant and Umesh. Does not mean everyone will be threatening on this track.
4. Maybe. But these points are relative. The likeliest bowlers to get you wickets should be bowling more and in tandem. That was the point.

WTF Tom.

 

[OverratedSanity]
