Australia v India

Black Caps currently have the best pace bowling unit that’s ever played at one time.
Australia do too and theirs is better than ours.

Given the results in the last 8 matches in Australia, I wonder if India don't have a pace bowling unit equal or better than ours
Put another way, how would we go with Boult, Timmeh, wags, Jamieson and Kane not playing? Bumrah, Yadav, Shami, Virat, Ashwin, Jadeja.
Of course we'd just drop Timmeh in order to beat Australia...

Back to reality, the game is delicately poised, due to the weather forecast.
Got to build the lead but not take too much time. Tailor made for Warner in the second digSet them 350? Stats say that's very rare to chase down but it looks vulnerable to the naked eye.

Actually that's a pretty fair call, Easy to wank on about their batsmen ( and they as a nation do ) but they also have a fine bowling attack, naturally both nations have spinners we can only dream about too.

@MN5 years ago they got Lillee to help set up a pace bowling program. Since then they've apparently used McGrath too. Given how shit their pace attack used to be, it's a remarkable improvement

"shit" might be a bit rough but they were definitely military medium on the whole. I always found it odd that next door neighbours Pakistan could produce Hall of famers like Imran, Wasim, Waqar, Shoaib etc and the best they could manage was Srinath, Zaheer Khan and Ishant Sharma......a definite step down in quality.

Actually I just think the Indians historically focused on batting and their neighbours the opposite. Now it is a more complete game (for everybody).

Yeah true, India have a much richer history of batting greats ( probably to the detriment of their bowlers ) but I suppose Miandad, Inzi the spud and Younis Khan had terrific records.

And it's not like India didn't have bowlers (Kapil Dev), but they are generally more famous for their spinners than their quicks. Pakistan by contrast have always seemed to be able to churn out a number of fast medium or quick bowlers, some of whom were excellent all time talents like Wasim and Waqar

Got to be pitch related doesn't it? Must be depressing as a kid on Indian pitches?
Hard to know with Pakistan as they don't play ant home but i assume that they had more bowler friendly wickets. -

NZ has produced a small handful of world class players, except maybe opening batsmen and spinners.......Maybe Oz and England are the only ones who've got every base covered due to their longevity ? ( ie hard to pick a genuine class Windies spinner although Lance Gibbs sounded decent )
