*Official* Australia in New Zealand

Yeah was only expecting around a 270 score from us, bit gutted we only got to that considering how well Taylor played.

Not really tbh, it's not like we batted below our usual standard, it was about a par NZ total that, still disappointed, but not fuming as my expectations weren't that high
Yeah, we beat that first innings 155 we managed in Brisbane after bowling Australia out for a similar total :)

Of course if you'd said before the start of the match that we'd be leading by 33 runs after the first innings I would have been ecstatic.

Not much of a fan of BJ Watling, he looks like a little dickboy.

Wasn't to thrilled when I found out that Sinclair failed and Watling made 40 odd. Would've rathered it the other way round.

Just think, if the Aussies weren't so sloppy in the field it could have been a hell of a lot worse.

You'd think we'd be numb to disappointment by now, but no, it's actually getting worse. Fuming is an understatement.
Haha nice contrast of NZ fan reactions there. :)

Zinzan what I meant is surely you would have expected a NZ total like that with Australia bowling well and fighting back into the match. Not with Taylor batting like a behemoth and Australia dropping simple catches.

Match is really set up for a cracking finish now, with plenty of time and two close but sub-par 1st innings.

Sorry I missed Taylor's knock.
