We like to bag poor pitches on the subcontinent. But this Lord's pitch is not test quality
Left Lords 2 hours ago. Crap day, crap pitch.
Paid NZ34.00 for a burger at Lords, wx cold like a miserable Wgtn southerly day.

Agreed, but if the rain saves NZ they don't deserve it. After all England played on exactly the same pitch.
199 further runs look a million miles away.
Twin failures from Latham, Ravindra and Mitchell are hugely disappointing. We can't always rely on KW miracles.

KW was 0 and 18. That's hardly a non-failure.

For sure. What I'm trying to say is that will happen every now and again. If it does someone else should stand up.
Although the Indians on FB are taking great delight in pointing out KW fails overseas and talking up Kohli as being better ( conveniently forgetting his average record in the last few years of his test career )

He looks so out of sync. Nasser broke it down by comparing his Lords double ton innings to now. His prep and footwork are all at sea

Nassar Hussein played close to 100 tests for England as a specialist batsman and averaged 37. He doesn't know shit.
( ok, he is is actually an outstanding pundit to be fair )

It was a good piece. Devan doesn't get his front foot set early enough, so instead of then stepping into the ball he's still trying to get balanced. Nasser said that's why he can't "locate" the ball. It reminded me of the last time he was out of form in a NZ test series. Just lacking confidence, getting hit or trying not to get hit. Hard hands.

Yeah, one must wonder if the four tons him and Latham ( who has been even more shit ) got vs the Windies at home have flattered to deceive ?

I think his footwork is generally not strong. Perhaps that's why he never got picked in SA? When his eye is in it covers up the footwork flaws. But when he's not seeing it as well, those lucky inside edges and late shots morph into what we have right now

Without going off topic too much from reading Wags book there was definitely quota systems in place in SA.
I can't think of another nation that has provided more playing talent for other countries.
But yeah, if Conway goes early NZ are absolutely fucked.
I wouldn't be too hard on your batsmen, ours have been just as unconvincing on this pitch. The difference has been those shocking missed catches. If you take even half of those we'd be looking at a totally different picture.
