As India struggled in England and Australia in 2011 and 2012 you imagine a scenario how their batsmen would do if they were facing their own bowlers. The Indian batsmen were handcuffed by the accuracy of England and Australia bowlers that year. What if, you wondered, there was a loose delivery every now and then. A gift on the pads. Something short and wide. Something to assure them runs will come if they wait. The England and Australia bowlers for sure did not make them feel that way.When the New Zealand batsmen fought and fought and fought in their first innings in Kanpur, it was tempting to imagine a scenario where these batsmen faced their own bowlers. When after tens of minutes of concentration they could get a loose ball. What they got instead was this. In the second innings, R Ashwin took the new ball, bowled to their right-hand batsmen from round the wicket, had only two men on the off side, and the first time he was hit there was in the sixth over.Since the start of the last home season, Indias captain Virat Kohli has had the luxury of setting fields where even taking a single has been an almighty effort for the batsmen. Theres Ashwin turning the ball sharply in, there are backward and forward short legs, there is another ring of short square leg and short midwicket behind them, and if you manage to beat them there is either a long-on or a deep midwicket or at times, both. A batsman will not take the aerial route with that field because with the turning ball chances are the ball will travel vertically more than horizontally. To add to this, in the second innings, you have a man on the sweep too.So if you are facing Ashwin you have to pierce two gaps for one run. You get that only now and then. The field sounds good, but on the other side Ashwin bowled with only three fielders on the off side in the first innings and two in the second. One of them was a slip. In the first innings he had a man at mid-off and one between point and cover. In the second, there was no mid-off either. On the third morning, by which time he had got his rhythm going, Ashwin bowled the first boundary ball on the off side, in the eighth over of his spell. In the second innings, this happened only in the sixth, by which time he had taken three wickets to become the second-fastest bowler to 200 Test wickets.Ravindra Jadeja often bowled without a point to the left-handed batsmen. Asking them to cut against the turn if they so fancied when he was not going to be that short anyway. In the first innings - lets take that as a comparison yardstick because in the second innings New Zealand bowlers would have been demoralised and India batsmen under no pressure - Indias two specialist spinners were cut 21 times. Only six of them were boundaries. An attempt at a cut nearly brought them a wicket, and another resulted in the big one of Kane Williamson. In fewer overs bowled between them, Mitchell Santner, Ish Sodhi and Mark Craig were cut away for 11 boundaries. Not to mention the pulls off Sodhis bowling. Williamson did not have the luxury Kohli had. He had to have five-four fields for longer durations because his bowlers - not experienced enough in being the mainstays of their bowling - were not as accurate. The second innings, after New Zealand had fallen behind by 56, was worse, and doesnt need retelling.Shane Jurgensen, New Zealands bowling coach, was later asked what his bowlers could learn from Indias. They basically create a lot of pressure, Jurgensen said. They make you play the ball consistently, they bowl straight and they are very experienced. Its shown in the little adjustments they make, positions on the crease, angles, field placements, they are obviously very good at that. Like we saw with their batters in their conditions, we saw the way they bowled in their conditions. We have to take the positives out of the way we bowled today and learn from that.It is no surprise that the Ross Taylor kind of run-out tends to happen with teams under such relentless pressure. When the bowlers are not giving you any opportunities to relax and switch off, you tend to switch off at times you should not. New Zealand spinners had the conditions to work with, they obviously do not have the experience of bowling in them, but they will need to get closer to the relentlessness of Indias spinners to give their batsmen a chance of competing.

NEW YORK -- Carmelo Anthony wasnt making enough shots and the Brooklyn Nets werent missing many.Once that changed, the Knicks had an easy time in the first matchup this season between the New York rivals.Anthony scored 14 of his 22 points in the third quarter and Kristaps Porzingis added 21 in the Knicks 110-96 victory Wednesday night.Rookie center Willy Hernangomez had a season-best 14 points, Derrick Rose also scored 14 and New York climbed out of a 14-point hole by holding the Nets to 27.5 percent shooting in the second half.Our bench guys were great, Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek said. They came in there, brought the energy, Melo got hot there in that third quarter and was rolling, so great second half for our guys to see what putting pressure and getting after it defensively can do for your team.Brook Lopez and Justin Hamilton each scored 21 points for the Nets, who wilted on the second night of back-to-back games after a strong first half. Normally a good fourth-quarter team, they were outscored 38-25 while struggling to run their offense without an experienced NBA point guard.New York, which came in allowing 109.8 points per game to rank 26th in the league, had more problems on that end in the first half but dominated the second.And the Knicks got strong performances off their bench, with Brandon Jennings posting 11 assists and Hernangomez shooting 6 for 7.The Nets, who set season highs for points and shooting percentage (55.3 percent) in their 119-110 victory over Minnesota on Tuesday, shot 55 percent in the first half and led 55-50.Then Anthony, just 3 for 11 at halftime, had a baseline drive with the Knicks down nine and then turned to his jumper. He made five of them and then a pair of free throws, putting up 14 points in the final 5 minutes to give the Knicks a 72-71 lead.But even after that stretch it was a one-point game, Nets coach Kenny Atkinson said. Then I felt like the real difference was again their bench coming in and just took us out of our stufff.ddddddddddddHernangomez provided a spark before Porzingis made a pair of 3-pointers and threw down a dunk while getting fouled as the lead grew to 92-78.Melo got it going. He probably had like 10 or 12 straight at one point, so that kind of just enlightened the whole team, Jennings said. And then we were just taking care of the defensive end and then just finding KP coming down for transition 3s and then he got an and-1 dunk, so we were just clicking tonight.TIP-INSNets: Brooklyn opened a five-game trip by falling to 0-3 on the road. ... Sean Kilpatrick made his first career start in his 43rd game. He came in averaging 16.6 points, tops among reserves.Knicks: New York improved to 93-91 against the Nets. Brooklyn had won six of eight meetings over the previous two seasons.POINT GUARD PROBLEMSBrooklyn rookie Isaiah Whitehead, who had been starting at point guard with Jeremy Lin sidelined by a strained left hamstring, was placed in the concussion protocol, a night after hitting his head on the court. He finished that game but had a headache and experienced symptoms Wednesday. He will be out until he is symptom free and has passed the NBAs protocols. The Nets also waived point guard Greivis Vasquez, who struggled to recover from ankle problems, and recalled Yogi Ferrell from their NBA Development League team to make his NBA debut.HIT THE ROADThe Nets only had to go about 5 miles to start this road trip, and they have an even shorter segment during it. They play a back-to-back in the same building, facing the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday and the Lakers the next night in Staples Center.UP NEXTNets: Visit Phoenix on Saturday to start the Western Conference portion of their trip.Knicks: Visit Boston on Friday to start a tough road back-to-back against the top teams in their division.
