**Official** New Zealand in Australia 2015

[Cabinet96]

Just imagining if Craig and Santner win this will all-round heroics. Would be the GOAT test moment.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Probably unless something strange happens.

warner will win the vote somehow don't worry

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Haze MotM?

Hzw has been very good, but surely Llong has got it in the bag.

 

[Flem274*]

if this was the plunket shield then nz would be set for 300 after a good platform of 100+ for 6.

but this is not the plunketroll shield.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Yeah well Southee has a PS 150

 

[Bahnz]

Yeah, and sadly the two Colins are on the wrong side of the tasman anyway.

 

[Bahnz]

You've gotta give it to Santner, I didn't thnk he should've been selected but be's been one of our best performers in this game.

 

[Cabinet96]

Chappell fanboying Santner has been great.

 

[Hurricane]

Fight boys.

 

[Flem274*]

It's probably only because they were both guys who could kind of bowl and awkwardly bat thrown into a trainwreck series but Santa's performance here feels similar to Steve Smith in the 2010 Ashes.

Not yet, but will.

 

[cnerd123]

No CW comms for this?

 

[Hurricane]

Mid on is not walking in with the bowler after that Santner lofted four. Single time to him.

Don't see it at all tbh. That series Smith went from the next big thing to people saying he was the worst test 6 of all time. This test has only been good for Santner's rep.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

You've gotta give it to Santner, I didn't thnk he should've been selected but be's been one of our best performers in this game.

yeah he looks so unflustered for a guy who by all means should be miles out of his depth at this stage in his career.

 

[Skyliner]

Some people excel at international level, defying their 1st class stats because representing their country brings out the best in them. Notable NZ examples are Coney and Jones. Santner looks like he has the temperament and focus to excel at this level.

like Vettori

Actually, despite their styles being completely different, I'd say it's a bit more reminiscent of Stokes in 13/14, in terms of doing better than expected, even though everyone else struggled.

 

[Hurricane]

Commentators determined to get Santner out.

 

[Zinzan]

Baah....; was hoping by some miracle we could have gone wicket free the first 1/2 hour I missed.

How would that 60 odd run lead the have been be now

 

[Cabinet96]

Siddle has looked really pedestrian this innings btw.
