The first NZ win in India was pretty incredible too. Best batsman Crowe unavailable. Hadlee 6 wickets in the first innings and Bracewell with 6 wickets in the second.

i guess my point is that not making 100 makes it hard to hate them. expanding beyond (beneath?) 90, i find the reason im loving roots purple patch is because of all the 100s he did not make earlier in his career. In the usual scheme of things i should be hoping a bus hits him everytime he walks onto the pitch, but now im just loving his performances.
You know 140k is up there as far as speed is concerned. He’d probably be slightly ahead of Cummins and Haze and not far behind Starc.
Yeah, a great win, though worth noting that modern India is a stronger outfit than the team of the 1980's, and so winning here would be a more significant achievement. If NZ can close this out they'll be the first non-Big 3 nation to win a test in India since 2010.The first NZ win in India was pretty incredible too. Best batsman Crowe unavailable.

as weird as it sounds given his 10-fer, patel isn't actually optimised for indian conditions. He's always been a touch on the slow side which is better in NZ/Eng. Phillips is a side-arm darter which is perfect for indian pitches.
The very best bowlers seem to deliberately pull their speed back to fall into that sweet spot as well. Seems to be the perfect pace to still hurry up the batsman and extract a bit more life from the pitch while overly not risking injury through overexertion.
Afghanistan and the Windies both won tests in India in 2019.

Yes! Couldn't put it any better. We can imagine but can't fully appreciate the exertions fast bowlers put themselves through. The faster you bowl the shorter your impact and the greater the exertion and risk of injury. Best to bowl within your limit for longer periods. It seems to be the obvious explanation why test bowling speeds are seemingly lower than say, T20 speeds, when fast bowlers can really push their limit.
The match report from the third test of the 1969/70 series is insane. NZ definitely robbed of a series victory.That was the second win, Hedley Howarth represent!

Good to see "flat-track bully, only scores runs in high-scoring draws" Andrew Jones with a crucial 78 in the second innings of that 1988 test ... second highest score of the match.
Both wins due to Richard Hadlee, our undisputed greatest cricketer ever.
Rains in Bangalore usually come in afternoons. Morning rains are rare.
