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

I have no doubt in saying that Craig would have been at least as ineffective as our seam bowlers this match. It was the right decision to make.

I thought they might have been tempted to try Sodhi, given his MoM performance in the deciding ODI and 7 wicket bag against Otago.

 

[Gnske]

It's going to be sweet when you guys go back to England and get bundled out for 80 again.

The NZ psyche doesn't seem to get up for the occasion against Australia in tests.

I hear your spectators similarly don't get up for Voges too.

The squad was already selected before he took seven against Otago otherwise I think he would've probably come in for Craig. It would have been interesting to see him bowl but I don't think he would've ultimately changed the result considering the match was over the moment the toss was lost.

It's jingoistic to call this Australian team weak, but weren't you one of the ones saying the 2011 squad was weak too? As Australians, unless you were born early enough to remember the period just post the retirement of Lillee, You have no idea what a weak cricket team is. That shows up so much when you guys classify teams where every single batsman averages over 40 while all the bowlers average under 35 as being "weak"

yeah okay whatever you say m8.

are you honestly just here to start fights?

The NZ psyche doesn't seem to get up for the occasion against Australia in tests. We try to dominate the match rather than just play good solid cricket. The English at the moment have the complete wood over you when they're not subject to your roads. You're just lucky the NZ Groundsmen decided to give you roads here.

This is definition kiwaah

Can't be relying on the English cricket team as a sledge surely.

Sorry but you tried to call a side containing Clarke, Harris, Hussey, Ponting, Watson, Siddle, Haddin, Lyon, Johnson, Warner as "weak"

Talk to me when you're picking Rutherford and Fulton because "there is no one else"

 

[Hurricane]

Corey can't bowl to a plan.

I'd rather talk to a wall, it'd be more intellectually honest.

Back to your insults

 

[Hurricane]

Voges out for only 60.

 

[Burgey]

Disappointing failure from Voges.

 

[Hurricane]

As simple as the Wagner/bouncer plan is, at least its a plan.

 

[Jord]

Wagner with his golden arm again, these types of wickets would have been so crucial if the other bowlers were able to execute at all.

 

[Compton]

NZ made 370 first dig. If they'd held a decent line and length they'd probably have had a first innings lead.

 

[Hurricane]

Neville is my favourite Australian batsman atm.

It's quaint you think that. It again shows up you didn't really see the difference between the two morning sessions and how much movement the bowlers got for Australia off the wicket versus NZ.

 

[Spikey]

learn to spell his name then, Hurricanrana

 

[Spark]

The next passive-aggressive smiley post I see gets infracted. Can it, all of you.

 

[Jord]

If they bundle out Australia for under 500 in these conditions, and don't gift Lyon another bagful of GOAT wickets, the game might still have some intrigue left.

 

[Zinzan]

I think ultimately we're not as good as Australia in Tests, and if you're not as good you need luck in order to win.

That's now an official concession from NZ fans to our Aussie counterparts (now that KV has finally said it) !!
