***Official*** India in New Zealand 2013/14

[Dan]

Those byes from Boult hooped. Huge swing.

 

[Blocky]

Bail rather. Such a huge confidence bowler, and evidently psychopath

Aren't all fast bowlers?

Wonder how long it'll take him to come around the wicket and try to leverage that one coming in with one holding its line, possibly more dangerous than coming over.

Obviously not ishant sharma

 

[Dan]

He's the one bowler in this attack who should be bowling at least eight over spells, if not ten to twelve. If McCullum leaves him at the crease for a longer spell, you watch his threat rise.

Yeah, I think you're right here, and it's a thoroughly under-discussed thing in regards to bowlers. Wagner wouldn't last a series in the Australian side, where you're swapped in-and-out of the attack for 3 or 4 over spells regularly, rather than bowling 8-10 over spells. Given he takes some time to get going, you have to make his spells as long as possible to outweigh the 2-3 overs of crap he starts with.

Would be interesting to look at the average length of spell from various bowlers, tbh.

 

[Blocky]

Keep it full Wags. Don't worry about that short bull****.

 

[Athlai]

Quality shot that

 

[The Battlers Prince]

That's very good batting Sharma.

 

[ohnoitsyou]

Short and wide filfth. I was so hopeful after that wicket as well

 

[Hurricane]

Challenge is, though, not going back to bowling dross after a purported piece of genius.

past tense: purported; past participle: purported

appear to be or do something, especially falsely.

It was more than purported the ball would have gotten most batsman out.

Yeah, I notice that with Aussie but to be fair, you've got so many walking wounded bowlers that I don't blame Pup for rotation. As a bowler that generally needed a couple of overs to work out the length I should be bowling on a wicket and get the muscle fibres firing, I generally asked my captain to bowl me in eight to twelve over bursts and more often than not I'd bowl my full eight on the trot in forty over cricket.

No point having two bowlers doing that, IMO. Boult swinging it back in to around off stump and looking for an lbw, with the odd one holding it's line across the batsman is fine.

Wagner simply has to pitch the ball up, unless it's at helmet height over middle and off stump.

 

[ohnoitsyou]

Ian smith the hype machine

 

[Prensel]

Bloody steve

 

[ohnoitsyou]

How much rubbish umpiring is it possible to get in one match?

 

[Jono]

Come on Rohit do this. DO THIS!

And as I say that, Boult gets Rahane lbw. Can't really blame Davis for turning it down, there would have been doubt in two areas in his mind.

Even with 500 on the board we can't afford the dross that he bowls in between.

 

[Flem274*]

****s sake, come home to that plumb shout being turned down.

so i take it wagner bowled a beauty? good lad.

didn't stop him from giving Corey Anderson out hit high from a bowler bowling wide around the stumps.
