I get so disappointed when KW doesn't make a hundred I don't know what to think when he gets out for 12.
there absoltuely are occasions where a batsmen getting out is a positive for the batting side.

This was absolutely not one of them
I don't think Latham was going anywhere and getting KW in is generally a good thing for NZ.

feel for vander. Tough life for a leggie bowling with a wet ball.

The thing about Nelson is, although it's very sunny, when it does rain it tends to be all day. I don't expect we'll finish a game today.

also doull's comments on Charmander before - "you can't coach pace" - utter rubbish

Coaching pace is really easy. Coaching how to bowl faster while not wrecking backs/knees isn't.

Have to disagree on that. Coaching a player to bowl faster isn't just about getting them to use more effort, it's about making more efficient use of the effort they're already using. By fixing the flaws in their action and/or building strength you're gonna make them faster and less injury prone. It's not an either or situation.

Agree with you in part, that certainly the case when a coach is adding an extra few kmh to a bowler. However anything more than that and you get into NZ 90's Bowling Academy territory, where bodies conditioned into a certain action for years can't deal with major changes.
Patto being a counter example of this, Having lost a yard of pace he's somewhat reverted to his old action, what felt right for him is blistering quick.

the bowling academy didn't try renovate houses though, they knocked them down and built a bunch of ****ty weetbix developments out in rototuna which is slightly different. We're just talking about strengthening a few walls and maybe adding a room or two.

no one but hamilton people will get this analogy but it's genius.
who are the hillcrest and queenswood of fast bowlers?

bracewell is definitely hillcrest. Rough around the edges, beer crates serve as the standard furiture and there isn't a room in the house with decent wallpaper but it somehow gets a job done until you find something better.
