**Official** New Zealand in Australia 2015

[adub]

Again, really early doors, but Khawaja looks like a guy who isn't going to be troubled by what's being offered up.

 

[Dan]

30 seconds into the session and I already want to break Ian Chappell's microphone.

 

[Bahnz]

Boult looks so far off his best it's cringeworthy.

 

[Cabinet96]

Hmm.

 

[Tangles]

Davey doesn't rate the spinner huh

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Davey doesn't rate the spinner huh

Not just Davey.

 

[Flem274*]

before someone suggest santner, i figure things would be exactly the same

warner on a highway against a team whose lead bowler has done his back. cricket is brutal.

 

[adub]

So 123 to keep his 50 average after this innings. Should be there after another couple of Craig overs.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Better batsman than Boult, Southee, Henry, Bracewell and Craig. Ok I'll give you that.

and Guptill, Latham, Taylor, McCullum, Watling

 

[Cabinet96]

Warner's a ****ing phenomenon.

 

[TheJediBrah]

How many openers have averaged above 50 in the last decade or two?

Sehwag, Hayden, Smith

anyone else?

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Reckon Craig's bowling is related to his haircuts.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Cringeworthy from Ian Chappell. Don't clap a milestone? wut

 

[OverratedSanity]

How many openers have averaged above 50 in the last decade or two?

Sehwag, Hayden, Smith

anyone else?

Smith and Sehwag fell a shade below 50 in their final 2-3 innings.

 

[Gob]

Bad Usman that.

And yeah shut it Ian

 

[Cabinet96]

That edge basically rolled along the ground.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

If I put too many skill points into clapping the batsman my bowling will be worse.

 

[Flem274*]

i thought boult clicked in the UAE about how to bowl when it's not swinging but he has neither the zip nor accuracy post injury to do it.

lol spudwaja. this second coming will be short lived if you're edging out of form boult around on a road like that.

 

[Coronis]

Warner 84 innings to get 4000 runs. not bad at all. Only 3 Aussies have got there faster. Hayden. Harvey and you know who. Esteemed company.

 

[adub]

How many openers have averaged above 50 in the last decade or two?

Sehwag, Hayden, Smith

anyone else?

Smith dropped to 48.

Katich averaged over 50 as an opener, but 45 overall
