**Official** New Zealand in Australia

[pup11]

Btw anyone else thinks Travis Birt should be in with a chance to make it to the ODI squad for South Africa, or maybe even this current series.

I know its a bit too early to really say that, but still he has played some amazing knocks for the Tassies in the ranger cup this season while batting in the the middle-order, very clean hitter of the cricket ball and seems like a good finisher.

 

[pup11]

He's not good enough to open and won't score any runs. End of story.

He surely was scoring decent amount of runs for Queensland while opening the batting, but definitely he is not a long term option or anything as an opening batsman, neither is Clarke tbh, the moment Watto and Marsh come back they should open.

I think Australia will go with this line-up

Warner
Clarke
Ponting
Dussey
Mussey
Haddin
White
Hopes
Johnson
Braken
Harris

But they really need to get a specialist spinner in there.
While White can play a handy role down the order, if the top order performs he shouldn't be needed, and he shouldn't bowl either.

So Hauritz/McGain in for White and somebody in for Warner after the 3rd ODI.

Majority?

Yeah, mainly you actually. Note that this has nothing to do with you constantly beating me in TrackMania.

Just a bit sick of the constant blatant insults towards Australia in the last few months, especially when we're losing. Amazingly poor behaviour.

 

[Nate]

Also, I refuse to count losses in which we play either or both of Cameron White and David Warner.

Seconded.

 

[Precambrian]

If there is any sporting team that can come back it's Australia. They've come back at us before and hurt us.

I just hope the players aren't getting too over confident. This all counts for nothing if they end up losing 3-2.

Lol, the embodiment of pessimistic NZ fan.

Troll, don't feed it mate.

 

[Precambrian]

No heart! Or skin and other internal organs by now too I suppose...

Would make it to the team if recalled.

I never insulted Australia.
I merely commented on the lack of credit given to NZ, that is it.

Amazing poor behaviour?
Jeez, talk about getting your panties in a twist.

Yeah, a real shame they scheduled it on a day I have to go to a wedding.

I'm not looking forward to getting back home and seeing that we were thrashed.

I was actually just hoping for a bit of respect and grammar. Got neither.

an aussie demanding respect for their team is rofl funny when they their team has made disrespecting other teams,other players,the rules of cricket etc an art form and they are still doing it even when they are losing which is staggering and mind-boggling.

 

[S.P. Fleming]

Heading to the SCG tommorow, going for 3-0. The heat is again going to be a tough one to handle, my club game today was abandoned because it was too hot.

Well lets just tell em to go choke the Aussie for all the sins they have commited, that surely would settle things, then they might show some respect...

Disregarding the ridiculousness trolling nature of your post, it doesn't take much (I didn't think) to show a bit of respect, at the very least publicly. I can't stop you from being a crap person IRL, but by all means, try and man up a touch when making comments to supporters of another side on here. We haven't done anything to deserve such direness.
