Nice bit of turn, he gets that consistently to Pope he'll get him

 

[Flem274*]

man being a bowler who can genuinely field like boult or anderson must be so much tougher. no long breaks at fine leg for you.

 

[straw man]

aaaaaannd another drop

Tough one

Edit: Nope, no edge

 

[91Jmay]

Gloved that

 

[Flem274*]

sigh

 

[91Jmay]

Fair ****ing play from Reiffel that's an unbelievable decision on the bye

 

[trundler]

That's a decent decision

 

[_Ed_]

Bloody hell.

But on the bright side, Ravindra's scored a century.

i hope he goes absolutely massive.

I was saying good things about Henry's earlier spell where he took the wicket, but his next spell and the start of this one have been piss. Hence why he's going at econ of 5.15 for the innings.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Heading towards a tame draw, I reckon...

Kyle Jamieson has been looking like Jacob Oram for 9 months now - another Please Explain for Stead and bowling coach Jurgenson.

As much as there probably needs to be a change in the coaching camp, Stead can't be blamed for this one.
It's up to the bowler themselves to be in peak condition, and Kyle's had plenty of time to be prepared physically and mentally for this.
But to be fair, he looked like he was just about back to business after the 1st test.
This is the most placid pitch I can recall the blackcaps playing on for many a year, so maybe not too many conclusions should be drawn here.
Don't rule the big fella out of playing a big role in the 3rd test and levelling the series.

 

[Calm_profit]

Wags is missing.

 

[Calm_profit]

I hope this gives Pope a confidence.

 

[grecian]

Root goes past Younis Khan, fair enough, Sunny next.

 

[Calm_profit]

Why Henry is bowling too short?

First test he was back to bowling outswingers, getting the occasional inswinger to go too, and reasonably consistent on line and length. This test he's barely swinging it, a bit of 'shape' at best, and the line has often strayed. Think he tried to bowl an inswinger before but it came out more like a slower legcutter - whatever reason it's just not happening for him today.

 

[Calm_profit]

Again misfield.

 

[91Jmay]

Ha that's amazing not seen that before.

 

[trundler]

Root needs at least135 and out or a red inker to get his average on the right side of 50.
