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

[Flem274*]

Fair call. Just hard as an NZ fan to not see Dougeh get photographic recognition.

I am just having my first post NZ Test win over Australia beer. To say it tastes sweet would be doing it no justice at all.

I'm on my third now, as it's 9:30 p.m. in my part of the United States, and I'm grilling up some lamb for a very late dinner (since this match overshot my dinner time by a long shot).

It'll be the most delicious meal ever, probably.

Not enough aussie ***** getting bowled over.

Bracewell, always knew he had it in him.

Well, I'm off to buy some economy dog biscuits!

He's a ****ing **** ****. Here's a quote from the other night;

"I would get rid of McCullum, get rid of Ryder, ask Taylor some serious questions then I would look at Vettori."

Densest ****.

I'm going to spend most of the night listening to him try and come up with some excuse why his anti-cricket ****e is acceptable. If he gets too dense I might even make a few calls/emails.

Congratulations to the New Zealand team. They played the better cricket in test match and they deserved the win. It's a very frustrating loss though for us Australian supporters, clearly there are still problems that need to be addressed in this test team.

NZ have a promising pace quartet at the moment. Good signs for the future.

 

[Batista1]

absolutely ridiculous from Australia

Hughes getting out in the same fashion and in the same area the whole series (Bowled Martin Caught Guptill)

and why Clarke and Haddin played shots to such wide deliveries ill never know (reminded me of NZ batting tbh)

just silly cricket

 

[SteveNZ]

Just realised Lord Doug got 3-for in the first innings, seems so long ago. 9-for in the Test, which I think a lot of people may have forgotten.9-60. Incredible figures.

Even more disgraceful that Warner got the award. Is it voted on by the mouth-breathing Australian public?

Please let us know what he says...even start a thread if you have to. I'll be out so I won't be able to listen, but I want to see what crap he comes up with.

I'm picking 'one swallow doesn't make a summer, they're still the same rubbish, it was a green seamer which evens it up, Australia lost it we didn't win it' etc

 

[Burgey]

That's a test in India, judging by the crowd in the background.

I'd agree with you if those were apartment buildings not trees.

 

[Jono]

Lol, you're dead set going to be a smartarse about crowds after the crowds in the last two tests in Australia?

Extraordinary.

MCG will be 1/8 full on Boxing Day if it continues this way, i.e. crowd numbers are based on the team's results.

Victorians = fair weather supporters.

 

[adub]

Perhaps, but then the counter is that it was the method that got them 30-odd runs before that, why change?

In the end though, he's an opener playing his 2nd Test and 11th FC match.

The field was easier for Lyon to get 4s as well. He'd already put one away through mid wicket and had looked reasonably solid. Can't fault the last pair. 10 runs between 5&6 would have got the job done.

 

[straw man]

**** who are the NZ selectors - they are magicians. Brownlie, Boult, Bracewell, and sticking with Martin.

Who else do we have whose name starts with B?

Bhupinder Singh?

What do you guys think?

Clarke Hussey have a bad case of the Marcus Norths. Make it to 20, make a ton. That's the biggest problem with us atm I reckon, too many guys not even getting to 20 far too often. Leads to the sorts of collapses we've been seeing.
