  1. Focus Will be on spinners in WTC final, says Henry Nicholls While India’s pace attack is nearly similar with New Zealand’s world class pace unit, it is their spin attack that somehow makes the difference. However, the Kiwi batsman Henry Nicholls admitted that the threat is spinners like Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja as they can turn the table during the upcoming World Test Championship final. Notably, India and New Zealand will take on each other in the inaugural title at Southampton’s Ageas Bowl, which is known to aid the slow bowlers for a considerable period in the longer format as well. Image Source by twitter “India have a very good seam attack and also have the experienced spinners like Ashwin and Jadeja. They have been consistent in all parts of the world (of late) and bring quality (to attack),” Nicholls was quoted saying.

  2. While all the pace bowlers are in form as well as fit enough to take the field, the Indian pace trio - Jasprit Bumrah, Ishant Sharma and Mohammed Shami are likely to be in the playing XI for the much-awaited clash starting June 18 as well. “Mohammed Shami along with Jasprit Bumrah and Ishant Sharma have proven their quality over the years which is similar to our seamers (Tren Boult, Tim Southee and Neil Wagner) on whom we really pride ourselves on. So if you are facing that kind of a line- up, it’s an exciting challenge and as a group we are expecting it to be tough but also looking forward to the challenge,” he further added.

  3. “That was something that we experimented in the camp before we came over to UK. You managed to get some more turn and get some practice. So playing at a neutral venue, we need to check what the wickets will be like there. Also the guile of Ashwin and Ravi Jadeja is something that we need to be prepared for,” Nicholls said. However, it will now be interesting to see which team will take the prestigious trophy home.
