***Official*** Australia in New Zealand 2016

[Moss]

Swinging this hard is actually just as physically taxing as running lots of singles. That and the fact that he could of course nick one...I'm not sure how sustainable this is.

Well let's enjoy this while it lasts. Clearly no regrets over the WC final.

outrageous

 

[Gnske]

Baz seems awfully intent on hitting square fielders on off today

 

[hendrix]

yeah I much prefer the scoops as an option, that means he's actually thinking about things

when bowlers go to hell I bet they're forced to bowl to baz for eternity

Why would that be hell? You'd get him out half the time.

hell would be bowling to Williamson or Dravid. Just makes mountains of runs without being as entertaining as Baz. Like bowling at a brick wall. Or having to bowl to Lara for eternity who would just put your good deliveries in impossible places.

I think he's referring to all those jammy plays and misses and edges that fly for six. That plus the pure hits would piss me off no end.

Yaayyy! Jeremy Coney is on the radio commentary!

because it would be frustrating as ****. Mi****s everywhere going for boundaries

bowling to dravid or williamson would never piss you off as much because everything they do you feel like you deserve. Good ball on off? Defended. Short wide ****? Slapped to the boundary. Jammy wildcard batsmen are so much worse.

2 maidens after 8 overs.

61/0

these two are hilarious.

 

[_Ed_]

6000! Not many Kiwis have reached that milestone.

 

[Bahnz]

What's the record, you'd have to say that Guptill will sail past it given he's already getting close to 5000 runs himself.

Fleming, 8007.

Astle second with 7090, McCullum third.

 

[NZTailender]

Looking at Baz's average of 30 for his 6000 runs thinking his average not as keeper must be like 35 but it's actually 29 lol

 

[Spark]

i know the boundaries thing is an ironic meme but it really is silly that that's six.

 

[Moss]

So much randomness from these two.

Having said that, I can't remember when NZ last hit the ground running in a series against Aus, so this is pretty cool.

Taylor, Guptill and Williamson will all get up there.

 

[_Ed_]

Aw.

job done time for kane

 

[Gnske]

Another win for inbreeders everywhere
