***Official*** New Zealand in Australia 2011

[Flem274*]

Weather has saved NZ from going by 10 wickets tonight. Had pretty much the worst day possible. So disappointing.

And predictable.

If we get a sniff in a test, we freeze and promptly throw it away. We're like a better version of the Bangers.

I've heard many, especially talkback callers.

They're not real people though.

You think I'm afraid to punch slater in the mouth?

He's about four feet tall, just the right size for you to pick, ****.

 

[Briony]

Kiwis might be relieved that they look like getting a chance to bowl in the morning session. From my observation the ball has done most then when the clouds have been around.

I've heard many, especially talkback callers. Some believe he can never be called a great because he didn't go in when the ball was new and the bowlers fresh after failing a few times at #3. There are some who said they were frustrated that he used to expose the tail in order to chase the red ink. There are also others who argue that he spawned a generation of 'ugly Aussies' with his policy of mental disintergration. After all opposition players said he was a master sledger. That behaviour is not everyone's cup of tea.

Ah, so you're a big YouTube comments reader??

You may just have discovered the hidden secret of swing bowling.

lol.

Kiwis will fight back tomorrow. A couple of early wickets are needed - and Aussies can be bundled out for 200 or so

[Spikey]

Not sure of your agenda in this thread.

I used to think he was an SA fan because all his posts were about SA, usually negative. Now I just think he's a waste of time because all his posts are negative

Typical.

Luckily I've learnt to not bother watching in such situations.

Love the whining from the Kiwis about this old test. Crafting chips for the shoulders has always been their national past time.

Crowe ignores the lbws and bat-pads given by the supposedly biased umpires to bring in the Bradman-like Mike Whitney.

Mike Whitney will be daring Hadlee to do things he never thought he could, should or would dooo.

 

[Noble One]

Great effort by Whitney to last the final over. He was almost Chris Martin bad with the bat.

Mate the amount of home town calls from Aussie umpires we had to live through in the 80's was astonishing.

Cricket is much less frustrating now.

Looking forward to these pics surfacing again during the India series as they are completely on topic!

I don't mind what Briony writes, most comments are pretty fair. Is Briony M or F?

 

[ganeshran]

Biased home umpiring existed in almost all countries back in the 80s with varying degrees.

Two thoughts. 1) Get ****ed Mark Nicholas. I haven't watched all day but I turn on mid rain delay and he's saying 'let's get back on, it's all great news here - Hughes and Warner batting well'. Not great news, the clouds are lifting - my bum chums are going well. I change commentaries all the time for our NRL coverage and I demand to get this chump off my TV as well.

2) Tim Southee needs to wake up to himself. Just seen his five ball innings - idiot.
