**Official** New Zealand in Australia 2015

[Athlai]

Big Daddy doesn't rate Johnson.

 

[Bahnz]

Yeah ****ing taste it Blocky.

From the great man himself:

Great 50 Taylor - much better in terms of intent, seems to be actually seeing the ball and seeing it well and so far, using very soft hands and checked drives to ensure he's playing it closer to his body. Long may he keep it up.

From the great man himself:

Where is Blocky/CaptainGrumpy at now?

 

[Athlai]

From the great man himself:

Tell him to get ****ed for me.

lol where was this crying when warner and uzi were flaying it channel 9?

wahstraya

 

[mr_mister]

Shot

 

[Gnske]

Oof how about splitting that gap

 

[GotSpin]

Yeah look its somewhat convenient that the commentators are complaining about the pitches now that NZ are 2/200 but this has been a pretty dud wicket

 

[Dan]

KW vs. Johnson is entering meme territory now, surely?

 

[Bahnz]

Haha, that was such a great shot.

 

[Flem274*]

yeah the pitch is pretty unfortunate unless it seriously breaks up today or tomorrow.

 

[Athlai]

Haha holy **** Australian viewers are actually saying no to that question? You're dreaming.

 

[Jezroy]

Unbeaten double century means Kane average over 50. So there.

 

[Flem274*]

that's the second ball today that's carried more than normal. pitch becoming two paced?

 

[mr_mister]

what was the question? i missed it

 

[Athlai]

what was the question? i missed it

Are pitches in Australia too flat?
Started 60% yes 40% no. Ended up 50/50

 

[wellAlbidarned]

kids to johnson "hey can you sign the middle of my bat you seem to be good at bowling at it"

 

[morgieb]

Reckon by Day 5 the pitch will have more cracks than the Grand Canyon. Already breaking up a bit.

Gonna be interesting to see what happens if/when the breakthrough comes.

 

[Athlai]

Starc is a bit aggro on the field but I think hes a pretty good bloke overall. Definitely a fan. Warner too.

The current Australian team is probably the most likable lot I've ever seen.

kids to johnson "hey can you sign the middle of my bat you seem to be good at bowling at it"

Heh.

Think it's time. Lost a yard of pace and given how he bowls it's making him look pretty innocous. Shouldn't tour New Zealand.
