**Official** New Zealand in Australia 2015

Not Terrible
TBF I fully back the way Warner has played there. Southee and Boult as good as they can be, are better at working batsman over. Warner and Smith have pretty much been pushing them on the back foot, not letting them bowl as a pair or to build pressure.

Tail will be up now. We're in to the tail.

Career defining innings for Voges IMO. Can see him getting dropped after Khawaja comes back if he fails here.

Australia will collapse here. Can just feel it. Can see NZ chasing no more than 180-200 at best. Khawaja will have to bat at some point

is Usman allowed to use a runner in this situation? They've altered the rules on that so much I dunno when you're even allowed anymore

Yeah, two down and still in deficit (with Warner one of the two) is not where Australia want to be. This whole 'be aggressive' thing, both here and prior to the declaration, is straight-up arrogant.

Boult has immediately found better areas as soon as warner is gone and he's got a right hander

he's bowling 85% puss on this tour but he's slowly getting better. should be good to go for the 4th test...oh bugger.

I definitely can see him bowling well with the pink ball tbf.

tbh it's the best way to counter southee and boult. If you hit them off their natural length early they really struggle to contain.
