interesting to note that the team with the thunder player looks like winning

Need to call up that young Kallis bloke, deserves a shot.

can someone explain why henry came off and boult got two more overs

 

[Senile Sentry]

All Bailey's fault, clearly.

Mind you, is this really Australia's primo bowling line-up at the moment?

The Indians averaged over 50 a wicket at 6.3 rpo in the ODI series against their bowlers. The Aussie batsmen averaged 53 at 6.4 against Indian bowlers (who are considered mediocre by default). Puts things into perspective.

And if you consider T20s, it just gets worse.

This is what happens when you haven't had to face decent bowling in months. Phenomenal.

And yet if you actually said this when they were blasting those centuries, you would be attacked by the brigade.

Australian batting is a problem but they can still come back in the series though because NZ's bowling attack has too many part timers and dibbly dobblies. So once you can see off Boult and Henry and to an extent Milne, there isn't a lot of threat in the attack.

And here comes the really filthy bowling

Would have been more of a contest but Starceh would have still been a huge factor.

everyone forgets it was forkers who redduced nz from 150/3 after 30 to ****ed

I know Boult has got 3 wickets but geez he looks rank/slooooooooooooooooow

Any chance of him missing out on test selection?

 

[Black_Warrior]

Hastings is impressive btw. Looks like among the newer lot, he has the skills to be a potent LO bowler.

Because they know Henry has better stuff in the tank while they want to bundle Boult out as cheaply as possible.

Because they know Henry has better stuff in the tank while they want to bundle Boult out as cheaply as possible.

Or else they're trying to break him so he'll be unfit for the tests.

feels a tad conservative with the oppo 6 down

you can tell rigor watched every minute of channel 9 last year

Ronchi you tool edit: even if it wasn't a catch that's pretty regulation to take

if ben wheeler was fit and firing then mayyybeeeee if they were feeling ballsy. mchesson style is stick with players through thick and thin though (and it has helped tbh). look at all the chances rutherford got.

I guess we have to even the playing field somehow
