Shane Warne 'very surprised' with India tactics on Day 5 of drawn Kanpur Test vs New Zealand
India Today
Shane Warne was "surprised" to see India not take the second new ball in the final stages of the first Test which eventually ended in a draw as New Zealand's last-batting pair managed to survive the final 52 deliveries.
Australian cricket legend Shane Warne on Monday questioned India's tactics on Day 5 after the Kanpur Test against New Zealand ended in a nail-biting draw at the Green Park Stadium. Very surprised India didn’t take the new ball when it was available !!!! Strange they are still bowling with the old ball as light and overs running out !!!!!! Thoughts ? Will the 4 overs bowled with the old ball when the new ball was available be a turning point and allowed NZ to hang on or it won’t matter and India win ???
India fell short of victory by 1 wicket as New Zealand's final batting pair of Rachin Ravindra and Ajaz Patel saw out the last 52 balls in fading light force a draw in the first match of the two-Test series.
