**Official** New Zealand in Australia 2015

[Bahnz]

Taylor's actually looking pretty good, but the frustrating thing is he's only going to get a half hour to bat before he has to start all over again tomorrow.

 

[Gnske]

Kane could look into the bowels of hell and look non-fussed.

 

[mr_mister]

he's fast becoming my fave modern batsman

 

[Bahnz]

Good going Kane, now quadruple it.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

never thought I'd be relieved to see mitch johnson bowling at the waca

 

[Flem274*]

nice offside dominant field there.

 

[straw man]

Is this a mental thing with Latham? Can't seem to kick on after getting in.

Think it's just that he's a diligent and correct player who always looks to bat time, and right now bowlers at this level will test him to the point that he gets out approx. 1 in a 100 balls he faces.

Has been tremendously impressive despite not yet scoring a 50 and am very confident he'll continue to improve.

 

[mr_mister]

lol Brayshaw shut up

 

[Teja.]

Great stuff from the big red machine's son.

 

[Flem274*]

wrestling is ****

 

[mr_mister]

what are Brayshaw's claims to this position again? Why is he even here does he have any cricket background

 

[Flem274*]

if what brayshaw is saying is what i think it is, craig mcmillan chasing that phil tufnell complete **** up off the pitch and belting it was the best.

was a first class cricketer and is a big channel 9 personality with Aussie Rules

 

[Flem274*]

oh god it's these three at once. what have the good public done to deserve this?

 

[jcas0167]

lol at Smithy pointing out Border did it. I think it was off Danny Morrison iirc.

 

[Flem274*]

channel 9 have already been slipping in the groundwork for pitch wahhhing on day two with straya ten million ahead. weaklings.

The whole problem is that they get commentators purely because of their cricket background and not because they're good commentators.


He did play a lot of first class cricket though so it's not like he's clueless.

I actually thought it was just due to his AFL stuff didn't know he actually played FC cricket, retired the year before I started watching

Former players gave us the holy trinity of Richie/Bill/Tony but yeah I see your point. This '90s boys club is a bit much for me

Haha so true. We wahhh about how **** Ch 9 is for choosing commentators who played cricket but are ****, and then when Brayshaw is on his cricketing background is brought into it

edit: not @ you mr_mister, just generally

 

[Flem274*]

one taylor boundary and healy cracks into a proper cry about the pitch. jesus man we'll still be 150/5 or something settle down.
