That's just agenda-driven posting and barely warrants reply.Yeah that’s what caused this
New Zealand have been batting and bowling better than Australia over the last significant stretch of the match. That's it.
They were regulation keepers catch, the one he dropped wasn't.Of course

The decision at the toss and execution of performance are different things. You can make the right toss call and then perform poorly, even though it was the right call.

Seems we were torn between playing like test cricketers or taking the mental pygmy approach. It would appear they decided on the latter.

Could use a bloke in this middle order who has an incredible record of cobbling together runs with the tail and averages like 60
There is the WTC to consider

If you are talking Smith he hasn’t averaged near that in the last 3 years
Makes his approach late on day 1 even worse looking back.
CA won't give a sh*t. They'll make good money on that series

Be lucky to draw that series on form.

Cameron Green's issue is that when he goes back and across he does not cover his stumps. Inside edges and indecision goes through him as often as they take the outside edge.
He gets bowled entirely too often by sixth and seventh stump lines.

Re the good/bad decision to bowl first storm, at the end of Day One it was universally praised as a good decision.
After 8/107 ==> all out 162, Cummins was praised by all.
The naysayers have ignored that, but both camps are upset because of where we are now.
We're in trouble now because of:
--- the pitch settling down, helping the Kiwis in their second dig. Suddenly, today, after lunch the ball turned and Lyon became dangerous. Who knew, or predicted that?
--- 2 dropped catches
--- unwise short-pitched bowling @ the Kiwis
--- profligate batting by our Top 4 today.
It's the Kiwi second dig that has us in deep doo-doo, not winning the toss and bowling. (edited)
