And yet, checking their records, Southee and Anderson have both bowled 58% of their overs at home.

Southee > Anderson.

That's quite crap of Anderson. Shit, even I could swing and seam a Duke ball.

Anderson > Southee

He has played more than twice as many tests as Southee but has only played Bangladesh and Zimbabwee 4 times Southee has played the figure padders 8 times. That is 10.5% of Southees career. As opposed to 2.5% of Jimmys career

This anon bloke is not having a very good run on this thread is he. He’s tried hitting it out of the park a couple of times and been cleaned bowled twice. And surely nobody really thinks Anderson is the best quick ever, come on man.

Exactly.

Delving deeper Anderson’s bowling average at home is 3 runs better than his career average vs. Southee’s average being only 1.9 runs better at home - clearly a man for all conditions. Taking Sri Lanka as a randomly selected example, Anderson averages 46.08 per wicket compared to Southee’s 15.47.

Anderson has played 85 matches against The big three. Southee only 25.

Is that why the top Aussies and Indian batters have such good averages? Get to play against Anderson so often.

I can certainly see why your next test series is at home against Bangladesh.

Wisden’s test XI of 2020: Dom Sibley (England), Shan Masood (Pakistan), Kane Williamson (New Zealand), Babar Azam (Pakistan), Marnus Labuschagne (Australia), Ben Stokes (England via NZ), Quinton de Kock (South Africa), Kyle Jamieson (New Zealand), Stuart Broad (England), Tim Southee (New Zealand), Nathan Lyon (Australia).

4 Kiwis - very good indeed

I thought the same initially but he has fewer wickets and at a higher average in 2020 than Broad, Southee and Jamieson.

Apart from that, the Indian government has just banned the import of Wisden's 2020 yearbook and labeled it "dangerous racist propaganda"

And naturally resorts to sledging, it's sad to see a poster imploding in a fred but it's happening. :nod:

Day 5 of the test, Pakistan need to dig in Kiwis need wickets in the first session, chance of rain.

Tea time and Pakistan have only lost 1 wicket today. Really dug in. Yes it's a kiwi road but when you have so many top order players getting out for very low scores with pathetic shots it becomes a very difficult game.

I think Kane needs to have a bowl himself.

Santner doesn't get wickets.

And therein lies the key difference between NZ being a good international level bowling attack and a potential great one.

My bro was trying to convince me that the people "in the know" knew that Santner was a much better spinner than his mediocre record suggests and has been bowling within himself under orders from the coaches.


I told him that sounded like a crock of shit and it turns out I was right

You know if Pak score at 3 an over for the next 20 overs that's 60 runs which would need 85 to win off the final 12 overs. If they still have 6 wickets in hand.....

Another BC win, with the despised spinner taking the final wicket with approx 4 overs remaining. :thumbup:

Don't complain about Anon. I think it's great that somebody on here is so interested in New Zealand cricket that he regularly posts about it. Often he's the only one.

The captains, etc all said it was a great pitch afterwards, nothing wrong with... and in a way it was. The batsman scored about 300 runs off about 50 overs. Only problem was it was a cumulative effort by both teams, for 19 wickets. :lol:
