Southee to come on in the next over or two though.

 

[Prince EWS]

Southee!!

 

[Athlai]

Southee!!!!!!!

First ball I watched after dinner. Awesome awesome awesome.

 

[Bahnz]

Southee! Such a gun with the new ball.

 

[joels344]

Awesome 3rd day for NZ. Dravid gone lbw.

 

[Bahnz]

Argh. Marto having one of his hard luck days.

 

[Hurricane]

Southee!!

With regards to the Southee dismissal - he needs to do more of that - getting the ball to come back off the seam.

 

[Briony]

Some good scalps for the kiwis today. This could get tighter than the odds suggest.

Southee >> Bennet.

 

[Bahnz]

Southee >> Bennet.

Yep

 

[Blakey]

So what sort of career is Southee going to have when at this age he is only bowling high 120's? If he is so reliant on swing and it seems only out swing then his pace or lack there of will really hamper his ability to take big wickets.

How can he bowl so slowly? Even the pig off his five paces can match Southee for pace. God damn, Robocop is running in and hitting mid 130's. Southee sort your **** out mate.

I think the conditions might have something to do with it.

Southee was mid 130s yesterday and hit 138. Has slowed down today for control I think.

 

[Hurricane]

Exactly how are we going to get Laxman out. This has 100 runs written all over it.

Also Tim - bowl an off cutter or two. Or at least some cross seam deliveries.

Errrrrrrrrrr paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace...............

Glenn McGrath mean anything to you, people need to get over pace, at this level unless you bowl 150+ pace isn't going to matter

The conditions dictate that Southee bowls slower than Martin - a guy who weighs probably around 70kg's? Right.

If he searching for control in these conditions then he isn't the guy for this test - what the hell has he been working on the past 12 months? Try some fricken variation - cross seam, slower ball (opps he's got that down pat), leg cutter etc etc. He's pretty damn painful to watch at times.

McGrath - bowled closer to 140 than this kid, plus he was world class and could make the thing move when he wanted to. Southee needs to do more than replying on 120k's outswingers.

P.S. where did I mention 150k's in any of my posts here?

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

All these ****s moving in front of the sightscreen need their legs removed.

135K+ is enough to fool batsmen with variations(138-145 seems to be the norm these days for good line and length bowlers). Not a lot of difference between a regular 125k delivery and a 120K slower delivery. Big difference between a 135K regular delivery and a 120K slower delivery.

Timmy normally bowls around 135+. What I was saying was the difference between 125 and 140 isnt really going to make much of a difference for guys like VVS are they? 150+ that is a different story
