For a long time, if there was anything that spectators enjoyed, apart from batsman scoring big tons, it was fast bowlers, haring in and knocking the stumps over. Not only do both India and New Zealand have good spinners, but let’s not forget that both have a battery of fast bowlers as well.
The combination of Tim Southee and Trent Boult are considered among the best in the business and adding depth to the attack is Neil Wagner as well as Jimmy Neesham.

India, too have a good seam bowling attack, with Ishant Sharma, Umesh Yadav, Mohammad Shami etc.
So while the Ashwins, Jadejas, Sodhis etc will be licking their lips in anticipation of what is to come, let’s hope that for the sake of watching timber fly at the rate of knotts, we see wickets that have a bit in them for the quicks as well.
