@MN5 Imran never bowled any spin. Sir Gazza's average potentially compromised by bowling enormous variation that no-one else has replicated.
I don't think anyone is close.
Yeah Imran was closest of the four all rounders of the 80s. Paddles a better bowler but Imran quite a bit better with the bat. Beefy started amazingly but petered out…..and Kapil just played a lot to get what he got.
From what I’ve heard Sobers was an extraordinary batsman but that bowling record ? Ok, very handy for a team to have but really ? 235 wickets in 93 tests ? Chris Martin got 233 in 71…….

um Who did Martin have bowling at the other end?

Bondy, Cairnsy, Dan the Man and a bunch of chumps

Batting first in Mumbai, another toss win.
Henry and Sodhi come into the side. Southee and Santner out.
-
We may struggle a bit without Santner in this test, which is not a sentence I ever thought I would write
-
That was always out only height may have been an issue but it looked out on impact.
Again no back foot movement Conway got stranded on the crease.@Chris said in Black Caps tour of India:

Same delivery Ravindra received that took Latham wkt both lost their off stump didn’t read the one going away played for the straight one.

Washington is really deceptive - he's got others that look almost identical going straight through.
Had a couple of dismissals very similar in the last test as well.
Looking easily their most dangerous bowler, which is saying something!

Yeah he bowls a nice line to suck you in then takes it away.
Not so dangerous to the RH batsmen. -
Young is batting well.
Commentators speculating on him pushing for a permanent spot if he plays well here.
At home, I'm thinking it would likely be at the expense of Phillips/Santner. Conway probably done enough to retain his spot and I can't see them dropping Mitch Jr.
-
Like the 2nd test, if we can get to around 300 then we have enough to put them under pressure. Santner will be gutted he doesn't get to bowl on this pitch as well to further improve his record.

@No-Quarter It's doing lots so would probably suit his do less style of bowling.
I can see Ish maybe fizzing it around, but doing too much.

Geez what a gutsy innings from DMitch. Such absorbing viewing. The dripping from the cap is profuse.
