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

[_Ed_]

Ah, damn. Really well played, though - definitely looked like a potential test number eight today.

 

[Athlai]

Jammy jammy one time. Come on

It's a shame we sent Southee in so early. A flukey slog would have been lovely at this point of the innings.

 

[straw man]

Damn, really wanted to bowl no more than 10 overs tonight. Still very impressive from Henry.

would be clean bowled by the reverse anyway tbh

True.

The first act of KW's reign as captain will have to be demoting Southee below Henry in the batting order.

 

[Daemon]

Why is Southee getting so much hate? He's clearly been told to bat like this and that what he's doing is perfectly ok. Boult and Henry bat almost exactly the same way, though admittedly Henry had the sense to take the easy runs after he got the hard ones.

Not convinced Henry will be playing tbh.

because he never scores anything when it matters

agree 100% these kind of tailenders are actually very valuable IMO

 

[Gnske]

Well deserved 5fer, Bird must have been having nice flashbacks to the Bellerive glory days

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Well deserved 5 for Bird, didn't think he had that in him during the first test, looked terrible.

Solid effort from NZ. Overall 335 isn't a great score but it's enough to give them an outside chance.

 

[straw man]

Hazlewood will bowl a lot worse and get better figures than 1/92

 

[straw man]

Anyway, really hard to see where NZ are going to get the wickets from. I would have called 250 an outside chance. 200 is a very very outside chance.

 

[Athlai]

I can't believe my call for 175 more runs when 7 down fell 50 short.

DAMN YOU JAMMY GODS!

One of Boult or Southee breaking out of their slump would help.

Time to pray to the Dobbly gods. Summoning Willy Watson

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Fairly gutless batting by Boult once again, seems someone needs to give him (and Southee for that matter) a "rocket"
