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

[straw man]

The big-hearted Wagner gets to lead New Zealand off the field with six wickets

[straw man]

Can our openers please survive 15 overs. Would like Kaneh to come in without much pressure for a change.

 

[morgieb]

How meme.

Scores feel a little like the England/NZ match last year except in reserve for some reason.

 

[Moss]

So, what odds that he doesn't play NZ's next test?

Well done and all that.

 

[Daemon]

I think Ishant Sharma bouncing out England has just been overtaken

Haha, beat me too it. Probably for the best that Wagz and Sidz haven't faced up against each other this season. The sheer amount of heart in such close proximity would probably create a singularity that would destroy the planet.

 

[Burgey]

Balance of today decides the test match then. This should be a great session.

never

 

[Kippax]

So, uh, why was Bracewell picked over this bloke again?

A more authentic New Zealand personality, Bracewell. Beaten by his uncle with yellow plastic wickets as a kid, pretty stolid and staunch, doesn't get too up or down about things. It's important to be authentic to your nation, according to McCullum.

 

[Bahnz]

All up, probably would've taken that at the start of the day.

So, NZ basically need to run up 450 at 4rpo to have any chance here (setting aside for a moment the unlikeness of bowling Australia out on day 5). C'mon farewell double hundred from Baz!

Nah that already got overtaken by the Seddon Test this year. SL and NZ bounce each other out for four days, pretty much everyone gets caught at deep fine leg.

 

[Gnske]

Sharma's was undeniably the funniest to watch

Nah that already got overtaken by the Seddon Test this year. SL and NZ bounce each other out for four days, pretty much everyone gets caught at deep fine leg.

Atleast Chameera and the NZ bowlers bowled pacey bouncers, though. Ishant kept bowling 128 kph half trackers and the England batsmen kept lobbing it down square leg's throat.

 

[Daemon]

never

yeah not even close

 

[Spark]

yeah not even close

i like how it starts with ian bell missing a dead straight ball

 

[OverratedSanity]

Don't you find that Bohring?

Yesssssssssssssss

Outstanding

 

[Hurricane]

I am going to pretend that Guptil played inside it on purpose.

 

[Skyliner]

Should we knuckle down, or stay true to our authentic style?

 

[wellAlbidarned]

latham looks like he's forgotten how to decisively play an attacking shot

 

[Jono]

this is your moment NZ batting line-up. Do it.
