New Zealand v an unstoppable force: India v NZ series preview

Listen Later

We preview the upcoming three Test series between India and New Zealand - and also discuss England's win over Pakistan in the Test in Multan. 

Talking Points:

  • The India-New Zealand rivalry down the years
  • New Zealand in transition - after the retirements of Boult and Wagner
  • Rachin Ravindra's terrific 92 at Galle in the recent series v Sri Lanka
  • New Zealand's reliance on part-timers to fill in some spin overs
  • Should New Zealand play to their pace strength in Bangalore and Mumbai?
  • The Pakistan-England Test and what it taught us about bowling in Test cricket
  • The batting-centric nature of cricketing discourse and why that is problematic
  • Would a team with a world-class bowling attack and 6 'average' batters win as much as a team with the same bowling attack and 6 great batters?
