**Official** New Zealand in Australia 2015

[hendrix]

Mumford and sons on CH9.

The worst meets the worst.

come on dougeh prove the plunket engine room can do more than tonk 135kph swing bowlers.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

last thing we want to do is play a batting allrounder or whatever he's touted as this week at #8 and confuse him further.

Neesham debuted at 8. So did Styris, and Vettori was a batting allrounder for the 2nd half of his career.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Santner can be a Moeen Ali and open in the subcontinent

 

[cnerd123]

The NZ lower order showing a lot of #intent...but one believes they haven't quite earned the right to be aggressive yet.

Lol at plunket shield bowlers being 135kmh.

 

[_Ed_]

Probably should have run a third there.

 

[NUFAN]

These big Australian grounds..

 

[Flem274*]

nah if the knives come for craig it has to be tastle unless we *******ally drop neesham as well and have santner at six with four quicks

id rather just stick to what's made us win tests for the past 2-3 years though and not panic.

nah come off it. they're not always very good but the regulars during the Southee-Boult-Wagner years were henry, wheeler, dougeh, mathieson, kuggs, mckay, bennett, duffy, bartlett etc etc. granted it's the opening bowlers and the 125kph trolls were first change but the 125kph trolls took random top order 5fers all the time instead of the second string nz players so can't sneer at them too much.

I'd be dropping Neesham and Craig to play Santner. Only if Southee is fit though.

Who's this spud in the box with Lee and Chappell?

'golden era for batting, although the bowling isn't as good as recent eras'
Lee: 'yeah and it's come against excellent fast bowling around the world'

 

[SteveNZ]

Talk of Craig being dropped way too premature, for many reasons. Horrible shot though.

 

[Flem274*]

haha "not like he's doing it against guys bowling 130kph"

Hazlewood then delivers the ball at 130kph (and he's rather good).

i've admittedly seen little of him (meant to watch him this morning in the vault) but I think it's way too early tbh. Give him 12 months.

I'm in my bed and posting on my phone.

 

[dermo]

if theres a player better to watch on the drive than kane williamson i want to know about him

 

[Hurricane]

That Craig dismissal illustrates a point I made some weeks ago. It is quite difficult to use your feet and hit over the top against a quality spinner. The dip and loop they get make it difficult to judge where it will pitch.

Just think you need to pick your ball very carefully .

Picking only 10 players seems like a bold tactic, Cotton.
