Black Caps v Pakistan

Boult leaking runs here. Both pakistani runs from him after seven overs.
And now Kyle makes test cricket look easy. Again.
I noticed that he's added about 5km/h to his average speed from his debut series - that makes him the same as McGrath and he can get up in the high 137-139s on more than a rare occasion - also his full inducker is lethal

Review it

Jamieson is just incredible. Gets a bit of swing, plenty of seam, lots of extra bounce, and hits a great length consistently. He's a nightmare to play in tests.

Boult’s been dragged 😉

Looked a bit high but it was back pad so I reckon was going to be umpires call, but saved by the faintest of edges.
What a delivery though.

Is it time to think about giving Kyle the new ball and dropping Boult or Southee to three?

It feels weird saying this but Boult is regressing just as much as Taylor.
I don't reckon he's an automatic pick for our all time XI any more ( actually not sure I ever did )
The average has snuck over 28 just as Southees has dropped to about this.......obviously Jamieson starting ridiculously well and Wags being Wags is helping paper the cracks a bit but maybe it's a bit concerning ?
@Baron-Silas-Greenback will be struggling with one of his boys ( Southee ) going so well while the other ( Boult ) isn't.

If he keeps it up it is only a question of when

If the coms are correct about the lacquer on the ball when it is brand new inhibiting some of the swing then we are probably better waiting a few overs before Kyle gets it and it has a bit of a "rough" side.
What is his average against left handers now? It was under 5 but now he has another one. It's bloody nuts.

Think about it, coz hes that impressive, but it's a no from me. I think the sum of all parts is better with threats from 3rd and 4th seamers (Jamieson and Wagner), as well as openers.
Matt Henry is proof that slotting in random opening swing bowlers as 3rd or 4th seamer doesnt work.
It's just crazy that Kyle has such a good record already and hasn't bowled with the new ball yet once.
