<&>Wellington Corpus of Spoken New Zealand English Version One <&>Copyright 1998 School of Linguistics & Applied Language Studies <&>Victoria University of Wellington <&>side one <&>0:33 watch kapil dev go to bowl to <,> wright <,> he covers up plays it down towards midon richard hadlee with ninety nine <,,> test bags or test hauls of five wickets just wanting one in this test to give him a hundred and then a great milestone for him he didn't get it in the first innings he'll have another chance later <,> doesn't really look as though it's going to be <&>1:00 a seamers' paradise by <,> the fifth day not unless the ball starts to go along the ground laughs he certainly he he beat the bat he was still the you know the new zealander who beat the bat with a bit of away seam and a bit of bounce kapil dev to wright wright just rolls the wrists on it and sort of flicks it away down to widish midon no run well i suppose as we've seen so frequently in hadlee's career he can bowl really exceptionally well without a great tangible reward he might pick a up a wicket or two or none on occasions as he has when he's bowled <.>sp quite superbly and then another day he'll come out and everything <.>is that's touched is held and you know the figures don't always reflect the excellence of the bowler tut quite it works when you say that it reminds me of that innings new zealand had at lords when they were <.>s thirty seven for seven overnight every ball that seamed were were either nicked or bowled the batsmen i don't think we played and missed at a ball all afternoon kapil dev bowls to wright who comes forward again defending and playing it back to to kapil <&>2:00 dev it remains twenty four for one you were talking about the nineteen seventy eight tour where new zealand lead by fifty odd on the first innings if i recall correctly and er were bowled out then by ian botham who was probably at his very best at that stage <.>an and bob willis who was a real fiery customer at also at that stage EVERY ball they bowled that seamed or bounced somebody was in good enough nick to glove it or nick it or it was just one of those totally amazing sort of afternoons it was script written obviously and er they did bowl well though er bowled EXCEPTIONALLY well yeah and every ball that that er that deviated they got a wicket with it ian botham looked like the fastest leg break bowler or leg cut bowler <{><[>exactly <[>in the in the world that day he put them exactly where he wanted to and was absolutely <.>un virtually unplayable on occasions magnificent er performance by england there on that occasion but back to eden park where kapil dev changes his line of approach and comes <&>3:00 around the wicket and wright again plays him on to the on side slowly <,> and john wright just er <,> shaking his glove there <,> just reminding himself that <.>he's <,> of what he's er has in mind what he's trying to do concentrate hard play straight get in behind the ball <,> keep these fellows out if it's there to be <.>sp hit go through the line see where he can get some runs kapil dev bowls again wright plays this crisply goes to masraka who picks up and throws and er <,,> could well have hit the stumps it might've been close hard to tell from here looking <.>be from behind the bowler but it was very quick <,> reaction from masraka in the gully <,,> so at the end of the over it's er wright thirteen jones eight twenty four for one and kapil dev now <.>eight er six overs three of those maidens and none for seven in the last two overs one from prabaka and one <&>4:00 from kapil dev we have seen the ball seam less it has not deviated so much off the seam and that will be very pleasing to andrew jones and to john wright they will be very careful over the next ten minutes or quarter of an hour not to assume that the seam has disappeared altogether but that will be a heartening fact that i'm sure they've both mentally jotted down that the ball is not seaming around quite so much now well prabaka the opening bowler continues voc bowls outside the off stump and andrew jones allows it to go got on the front foot covered up let it slide through twenty four for one and of course as soon as i say that the ball seams away <,,><&>5 yes it started wide and went wider probably jones wasn't really under pressure from that <&>5:00 delivery but er prabaka's a very tidy little bowler <,,> not particularly tall bowls along the wicket well <,> moves it both ways <,> this one goes through again with no stroke from jones outside the off stump <,> slides through into the gloves of moray <,,> so india are in the <.>h <,> happy position of knowing that they hold a substantial first innings lead of ninety one <,,> and new zealand will need to bat very well <,> to ensure that india's task in the fourth innings is a severe one <,> india knowing <,> they have to win this test to share the series now jones clips this down to the gully doesn't get it through Tenduka <,> angles round in behind it fields well quite a good shot cut there by <,> <&>6:00 jones <,> didn't penetrate <,> i just <.>w really wonder whether the situation within the series er fashioned the approach of the indians or whether they would have played like this anyway er you know they knew <&>drawl that they had to to win this test new zealand of course had made a big score so when they went in there was no point in pottering around was there <.>an <.>an and <.>y you know it's really paid off for them there the approach that they adopted they batted i'm sure far better than their own expectations would have lead them to believe and we've got a single <.>con <.>s converted into two here as jones leans forward eases the ball through midwicket chased by Raman and they come back reasonably comfortably for the second jones to ten and it's twenty six now for one totally right no doubt that er scoring so quickly by BOTH sides has really left them a lot more option <&>pronounced opeshin options from now to the end of the game and er their reaction in the way they are bowling and fielding and their enthusiasm now is <&>drawl a <&>7:00 result of some EXcellent cricket it lifts the spirits of EVERYBODY so india trying to keep up the good work prabaka bowls to jones <.>f flicks it off his pads through midwicket he might get a couple more Raman in pursuit of the ball a second run will be rather more comfortable this time he has a little further to go Raman and jones to twelve now and just one behind wright on thirteen new zealand twenty eight for one <,> so a few runs starting to <,> be gathered now by the <,> new zealand batsmen at the crease <,> but they'd be very aware that the last thing they'd need would be the loss of a couple of wickets before new zealand wipes off that deficit <,> they really want to get that deficit behind them they'll be aware of that india on the other hand will be knocking over a couple of wickets if they possibly can <,,> just to keep their little grip on the game <,> here comes prabaka bowls again to jones jones on the front foot just plays that shot characteristic of his <&>8:00 lets the ball come on to him gets there early lets the ball come on to him opens the blade and slides it down the gully didn't get through end of the over twenty EIGHT for one jones twelve wright thirteen and prabaka now six overs one for twenty one whereas down at the other end er kapil dev's six overs have <.>pre produced for him none for seven prabaka really showing the effects there of a very long spell he's just not as accurate as he was in his first few overs so he's a trifle tired er but still got the ball to seam a little bit nowhere near as bad and it just shows you that when you don't get the line of the ball right in the first place that any seam that you get is not putting the batsman under pressure he got a ball to seam a lot there in the first ball of that over but it was far too wide and andrew jones could let it go so things er will be looking a lot better to the new <&>9:00 zealand batters they're able to become a little bit more comfortable in their approach well john er a man who's had a good day already is coming in to bowl now Wassan to take over from kapil dev of course he's already hit a half century which will've thrilled him and so with his tail in the air i imagine he's going to start his er bowling spell from the scoreboard end <,> and he'll bowl to wright coming over the wicket new zealand twenty eight for one his first ball is <,> wild and wide down the leg side <,,> taken by moray as he streaks across there to prevent four byes it was pretty <,,> pretty wide loosen up delivery that one <{><[>very good crowd here at eden park today isn't it <.>tr enjoying the sun i was talking to a friend down there at one stage who said it's the hottest day he could remember er and he's comes to eden park er very regularly says he's it's intensely hot sitting in the sun there today <,,> so Wassan <,> to bowl again now to john wright and wright looks for the leg glance as <&>10:00 Wassan runs the ball away a little bit and after pitching but er it started just outside the leg stump went even wider and er once again moray had to streak across onto the leg side twenty eight for one jones twelve wright thirteen <,,><&>3 kapil dev having a spell after six overs which produced three maidens and no wicket for seven and now Wassan <,,> he's bowled nicely on this tour for india <,> good cricketer <,> tall athletic <,> of build moves nicely <,,><&>3 excellent number three in the attack behind kapil dev and prabaka <,> bowls again down the leg side again just running it away from wright who seems slightly bemused he's going inside and trying to play the ball off his pads and er he's not getting within <,> within er distance of it at all it seems he seems to be missing it by the proverbial mile <[>yep i think it's important Alan that john wright stays down that end for a little while that <&>11:00 those would be very nasty deliveries if he could just get them over a little bit of course to a righthander jones is a righthander he's at the nonstrikers' end at the moment very important for john wright just to face Wassan for the next two or three overs is it fair to say the indian early bowlers are getting er more pronounced <.>side sideways movement than did new zealand er certainly and i think that's because they're fresher? they're enthusiastic they're right into their work again down the leg side that's wild and as john Parker said er he's wasting them on the lefthanded john wright <,> but to er andrew jones if he could just straighten his line a little bit he's certainly running the ball away off the pitch here <,> it's going away from wright down the leg side <,,> so it hasn't posed a problem to him from the point of view of salvation <,> he's still there on thirteen jones twelve it's <&>12:00 twenty eight for one <,,><&>6 so Wassan <,> runs up again again he's down the leg side his line was a little straighter and on pitching it again veered away and wright moving inside has given up trying to hit them now just happy to move inside it and watch it go sailing down through to moray it's almost as though moray could take his position up down the leg side <,> i think that's five deliveries francis is is it not all of them down that side <,,><&>7 haven't seen too many wicket keepers who've stood down the leg side deliberately er it shows a complete lack of faith in the bowler i know one or two that felt like it at times be interesting to see where this one goes <,,> can he get it on <,> the line <,> er wright's hit it and he's caught <&>crowd cheers HE'S CAUGHT IS HE OR NOT NO IT'S A NO BALL CALL HE'S BEEN CAUGHT BUT IT'S A NO BALL <,,> THE UMPIRE'S ARM IS EXTENDED <.>HA HAWANI'S CAUGHT HIM AT MID OFF AS WRIGHT LEAPT FORWARD INTO <&>13:00 THAT and chipped it down and hawani dived and caught it and there was umpire <,,> standing with his arm out brian aldridge indicating the no ball call so obviously he made it and maybe wright heard it and went into a stroke which looked rather ungainly tried to pick it onto the leg side i think and er and finished up chipping it down to midoff yes you you have to come to that conclusion cos it really wasn't a typical john wright stroke so <.>the <.>he last ball of the over is played er with a nice straight bat by wright and works it onto the on side so the no ball brought the total to twenty nine for one interesting over jones remains twelve wright thirteen extras are now two twenty nine for one and after john parker it will be brian waddel <&>13:46
