NZ is a bit different tbf, there's a solid record in recent years of 4th innings batting being relatively straightforward here. Still, chases are hard by their very nature.It is much harder batting in the last innings. 300 is ridiculous. Very few have ever chases 300+.
Bumrah and Shami look a pretty good pair. They will make it hard for NZ if India can score 175+
boults been about the same as wellington.Surely the radar’s a bit high at Hagley? Southee and Jamieson are both 5kph up
CdG speeds will reveal all. Both Bumrah and Shami were consistently in the 140s today but CdG was clocking less than 120 yesterday. If he starts bowling 125+ then something may be up.Surely the radar’s a bit high at Hagley? Southee and Jamieson are both 5kph up
Boult was getting close to 140 there. He wasn't clocking those speeds in the 1st test. Both he and Southee were very low 130s with the new ball there.boults been about the same as wellington.
southee just feeling a jamieson coming for his spot as the younger, taller, actually tries when he bats version imo
135-140 is boults comfort zone tbfBoult was getting close to 140 there. He wasn't clocking those speeds in the 1st test. Both he and Southee were very low 130s with the new ball there.
