**Official** New Zealand in Australia 2015

[Athlai]

Because despite the showing this match Craig can actually bat.

Southee having his once in a blue moon innings though.

This isn't actually true, Southee quite frequently scores a quick dozen or two. Half his innings are 15 runs or more.

Edit: to clarify, he scores a quick dozen or two and no more.

Taylor: Just bat sensibly
Southee: Thanks I'd love an omelette right about now

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

yeah it was an awesome day of cricket. and the waaaaah-ing was so good

Thought it was just fantastic from start to finish, shame I had to work and could only casually watch/listen to the last session. Brayshaw's wahhhh-ing was fury-inducing.

Yeah but this innings a great example of why his average doesn't actually represent his batting value. Matthew Hoggard averaged about 9 but probably added more runs than Southee because he actually batted for the set batsman he was batting with whenever he came in.

Nah he'll get 21

NZ only need about 150 ahead #WACAsoCRACKA

 

[Cabinet96]

That's a lot of overs the seamers have got through. Can't wait for John Wayne Hastings to come in for the deciding test.

 

[Gnske]

Johnson really does need to drink some more of Lillee's blood

 

[Burgey]

Hoping Taylor gets a triple here. Been a great knock

Yeah I'd be interested in his partnership runs. That said NZ's tail averages something stupidly high recently per wicket right?

 

[Daemon]

Bloody hell, didn't realise Johnson was going at nearly 6 an over

They do have Siddle and Pattinson this time around tbf.

Big Daddy Kane don't care about no cracks.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Taylor 10 away from the record.

 

[hendrix]

play out Lyon, hit the quicks.

The edges fly off the quicks and it's a fast outfield.

dont forget dougeh


remember the first ODers Taylor played against Australia and his battle against cramps? Hobart I believe.

 

[mr_mister]

lol pretty selfish of Southee really

 

[Gnske]

I do wonder what goes through his head sometimes.

 

[Spikey]

if anyone else takes the last wicket apart from starceh I will be furious.

 

[Cabinet96]

Pretty average performance from Starc this test. Half his wickets have been full tosses.
