    ***Official New Zealand in India Nov-Dec 2021 Thread***

    Hell I don't care if you block out Axar and Ashwin because they've bowled bloody well, but there's 3 other bowlers who could have been scored off. Ishant has only gone at 2.33 an over despite looking completely toothless. Jadeja hasn't looked great and has someone gone for only 1.72 an over. In...

    It's not about slogging. The whole innings there's been the opportunity to apply controlled aggression, and we haven't taken it. Yes, I did think Latham should have attacked a bit more, particularly the pace bowlers and Jadeja who didn't bowl all that well. Young played an excellent innings...

    Rachin played genuine shots, did not look panicked or hurried. Nicholls had no idea.

    It's down to picking the bowlers to target. Can't really allow Ishant to bowl dross and just get away with it. There was the opportunity for Latham and Young to target him early on and they didn't.

    yup. Gotta work for wickets and work for your runs. Should be targeting the weaker bowlers, just as Iyer did. Ishant has largely bowled rubbish and has been unpunished for it. Axar and Ashwin have bowled well. Jadeja has been mostly kinda poor, also gone unpunished.

    Bugger. This will likely not last long from here.

    Promising but unproven.

    Yeah, when he bowled well he got wickets on pitches that are difficult for pace bowlers...that's kinda the point

    always amazes me to see Luke Ronchi in the coaching setup (and when he was in the team).

    You specifically said that all bowlers will be threatening on this track. Respectfully, Ishant and Umesh are not the bowlers that Southee and KJ are.

    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...

    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...

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

    yup, Nicholls all at sea against this attack. Big ask for Rachin and the lower order.

    Huge wicket. Nicholls hasn't been great lately and looked pretty poor against India in the WTC.

    Fair enough. To me there were a few deliveries that looked in that zone - and I don't know if they showed those ones with the area map on.

    I always thought it was roughly a metre from the crease, going down the pitch. That's where it looked like Ashwin was running to me.

    He bowled from the crease, and then he was running across about 1 m forward from the crease. Where a full straight ball would pitch.
