New Zealand v Australia, 2nd Test, Day 4 - The Australians are well set to take the number 1 spot

The New Zealand batsmen kept on frustrating the Australian bowlers, but the Aussie pacers never went onto the back foot, but kept on searching for wickets. They attacked relentlessly. The length was back and full in-and-around off-and-middle. The nip-backers, reverse-swinging-balls and the corridor-of-uncertainty-type deliveries never transformed into boring line-and-length spells which are done to wait for the things to happen and not pressurize to make things happen. That’s why, I have a special soft corner for the Aussies. I am able to learn so many things from them.

Kane Williamson was like a fort and he received productive support from Corey Anderson, BJ Watling and Matt Henry. They were able to stretch the lead, but whether a target of 200 runs will be competitive enough remains a moot question. Neil Wagner thinks, he can defend this total. The barrage of short-pitched stuffs were exciting to watch, but Joe Burns and Usman Khawaja think, they can achieve the target despite facing such sort of cannon balls.
