1st Test New Zealand v Australia Feb 29-Mar 4 0830hrs @ the Basin Reserve

Good day of cricket but 85 overs in 6 and a half hours is pretty shit.

Is Plugger35 a Kiwi?

That would answer a lot of questions for many of us

 

[Plugger35]

Until you realise that the Kiwis will make less than Green…

We aren't England, we won't roll over like your Bazball muppets playing reverse ramps, we will show some good old fashioned fight.

I dare say you'll need a lot of fight to outlast our bowling unit on a seaming green top.

It will help that a top edge from our quicks will be out of the park.

That's where Marsh's 124km'/h effort ball comes into play

Williamson will be able to outlast them by himself, we just need someone to stay with him.

Greens 100 wasn’t chanceless by any means but most century makers would be in that boat. Kudos to Green.

If you'd offered 9/279 at stumps on day 1 after being 1/61 on a seaming pitch, you'd take it

Can you name or tag any of them?

I didn’t read a single person sticking up for him.

Who just happens to be one of the few people on this forum refusing to criticise Tarryn Thomas.

Make of that what you will.

England 2 Australia 2 how is that a roll over?

[spike101]

Fewer than?

[spike101]

Maybe not enough sleep after paternity leave?

 

[spike101]

Green himself said that when it got announced - said he hated how pressured he felt at 6 to be quick to make runs.

How many swallows make a summer? I tried SEN commentary for maybe the second time; it is woeful, self congratulatory, don’t mention the score after every ball, ….bloody ads. If I could be sure my dough was going to the sports department of the ABC I would pay for the ABC to cover all tests irrespective of their location although I can do without Jim Maxwell

Actually NZs history against Australia says you will roll over just like you have every single time they see the baggy green, and usually with a better lineup than this one.

Meanwhile England doesn’t lose home series to Australia so you’re right that the Kiwis are nothing like England, we know how to win.

I didn’t see him defend him.

Not attacking someone isn’t defending them.

Man this is a tired schtick.

Is that the same England that have two Kiwis as their coach and captain?

Have a look who I am replying to, I'm just fighting fire with fire.
