"New Zealand bowlers bowled in perfect partnerships": Morne Morkel
Oct 25, 2024
India's bowling coach, Morne Morkel, praised the New Zealand bowlers for adapting well to the conditions, keeping constant pressure on India in the second Test at Pune's MCA Stadium. Morkel mentioned that while India faces a tough challenge, it's a great moment for someone in the team to inspire a comeback, as they stand on the brink of their first home Test series loss since 2012.
"I think they bowled very well in partnerships. Watching from the outside, it was very hard for us to rotate strike, to keep the scoreboard ticking. I think in these sorts of conditions, where the ball is turning and asking the batter questions, it is important to do that. I thought the pace that Santner bowled today in particular was spot on for this surface," Morkel said after the day's play.
