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

[DamoESP]

It was Young's call for the run, not Williamson's call.

The stupidity was from Young, he needs a ton now to make up for it.

In what world is that Youngs call?

You've never stepped out onto a cricket pitch, have you?

 

[PhatBoy]

And how much heavy lifting do you think he has to do?

What does it matter? It’s not a quartet if half of it is s**t is it.

Why not just say England has the best new ball attack in the world at the moment?

 

[Southerntakeover]

At least Young and Mitchell are batting more sensibly now and forcing the Aussie bowlers to get them out rather than gifting their wickets.

You never miss

Pad up Plugger. You’re in next. Shouldn’t be too long.

Well... almost footy season. Hang in there brother.

 

[Plugger35]

Just when I thought things were looking better Mitchell gets out.

Now Young gone too.

Yeah, it is though. A quartet is just four bowlers. If two players are capable of making their four better that is what it is.

Which just ignores that they often bowled with guys of the quality of Gillespie, Lee, MacGill etc.

 

[H00t]

Quartet. Not duo with a bunch of others.

We have never had 4 Bowlers all playing at one time with this many wickets

I’m not even sure that stat is right.

Given McGrath and Warne retired on the same day only 127 wickets behind and Lee played his last test only a year later and was well over 200 wickets at that point.

If it was wickets taken while playing together than I’d say it would be.

 

[nobbyiscool]

When did everyone in international cricket lose the ability to play a simple leg glance? I've never seen so many people caught out down the legside as I have over the last few years.

Growing up as a junior it was embarrassing being caught down leg, do these blokes have no shame?

 

[Malifice]

Kiwis having an absolute 'mare of a day.

Glorious that it's against us.

Oh no you're on a delay, you have so much more disappointment to come

 

[Rabish Binney]

Tom Latham's record is interesting reading:

• Vs Aust; Eng. & India. Only one test hundred in 58 innings. Average of around 30
• Vs Pak; Bang; S/L & Zim. 12 test hundreds in 55 innings. Average of around 65

Loves to beat up on the lessor countries.

It is, unless you forget how to count.

Day 1 went alright for us but Day 2 has been a shitshow so far for us.

6/167 the home team wouldve expected a quick wrap up

Commentators trying to play it off as unlucky.

It's bad timing as much as any nick on the off side. Of course it's a mistake.

 

[Around the Wicket]

no wonder NZ only get to play the minnows

It rhymes with ree wenty

 

[tigland]

 

[FreoRicci]

They just completely lose their minds anytime they see a baggy green.

Very true.

Kiwis always play like minnows whenever Australia play them, as they are yet again right now

 

[JackOutback]

Can NZ overhaul Green's score? Or Mitch's?

 

[CrowBloke]

ThaHELL are the Kiwis on? Musta guzzled the drinks intended for the Aussies in the break ..??

 

[largebus]

It's time to annex New Zealand for their own good.

 

[Sydney Kicker]

We play the Kiwis at Rugby seemingly 5 times a year. In cricket it's about 5 tests per decade.

Any chance we could switch the ratio. Glorious.
