**Official** New Zealand in Australia 2015

[adub]

Class stuff Davey. Looking ominous.

 

[Gob]

played

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

I'm pretty much Bart.

 

[Bahnz]

I know Boult is one of the finest bowlers New Zealand has ever produced, but if the selectors knew that he was this out of sorts going into the series, you've gotta question the decision to play him.

 

[Zinzan]

Australia proving the old adage wrong that you cant really go a long way towards winning a test batting well in the first 30mins/hour but you can lose it batting badly.

 

[jcas0167]

Seriously cant believe how poor Boult has been expected so much more

bowled beautifully in England

Some comparisons of players coming back from stress fractures. Simon Doull was saying that is probably affecting his confidence, although he seemed to think he'd improve in this game. Doesn't sound like he has.

this is more of Adelaide than Perth

This would only be proven wrong if they batted badly and won.

 

[adub]

Oh cool Henry's going to bowl a million short balls now.

Yeah Davey won't have an answer to that...

Possibly, although if we're honest it's effectively a moot point. Do we really have anyone else who'd make the slightest bit of difference to this current contest?

 

[Gob]

jesus the size of that bat

 

[Tangles]

The batting pitches at home in tests would have nothing to do with the complete inability of the Aussie bats to play the moving ball would it.

 

[Hurricane]

Our bowling, especially in the last 45 minutes, has been acceptable. Perhaps another road.

 

[Frost]

Lions at home, lambs abroad, pretty much sums up most cricket sides at the moment

 

[OverratedSanity]

**** shot

 

[Furball]

Good God this conversation about coin tosses is ****ing stupid.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Ugh finally.

 

[Hurricane]

Lucky to last that long.

 

[Zinzan]

Boy did we need a lucky chop-on type dismissal. Woot!

 

[thundaboult]

Thank ****** jesus christ. FINALLY. SOMETHING.
