*Official* New Zealand in Australia 2019/20

[Daemon]

Is the black arm band for Bob Willis?

New Zealand volcano deaths, I'd say.

Wouldn't be too surprised if Santner gets asked to do an action test at some point in his career.

what was the southee thing earlier in the thread? did he give a spray right out of 2011?

 

[Moss]

CdG erring in line a couple of times. Done a great job but will need to be relentless with line and length.

Fielded off his own bowling, think Burns was out of his crease for a second so hurled the ball back at him and ended up looking a bit unnecessarily keyed up. Invited comment from Warner.

Randomly hurled the ball back at Burns for no apparent reason

 

[jcas0167]

Wagner is precisely the type of bowler you need in australia

Still irks me he didn't play in the 2015 tour.

 

[Meridio]

We've largely bowled pretty well, but there's just no zip in this pitch at all. Still getting some good shape in the air but it just hits the pitch and dies.

 

[Spark]

I'm still not seeing the "complete road" thing everyone else seems to be seeing.

 

[Starfighter]

Recently played in Perth and the consensus local opinion is that the WACA is just about the only quick pitch in the state

Virtually every other one is slowish and/or 2 paced

This seems to sum up this one

Shame that they couldn’t have redeveloped the WACA

Then the consensus is rubbish because the WACA has been slow and flat for nearly two decades now.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

it's about time for me to call southee **** immediately followed by him getting a wicket

 

[Starfighter]

New Zealand volcano deaths, I'd say.

One of my lecturers recommended visiting there. Makes you think.

 

[Burgey]

Reckon a bit of the slowness at the start was simply the moisture in the pitch, and it'll quicken and harden by the end of the day

I hope so. Have seen a couple of Shield decks here that had a bit of pace and carry in them but this looks like he may have left a bit of water in it so it doesn't crack up over five hot days.

Burns played a solid forward defensive and the dog **** tried to kill him.

you better watch out man he bowls 126kph

 

[wellAlbidarned]

southee should just go all the way and drop his pace down to 120kph like our lord and saviour

 

[the big bambino]

Given his previous form against Australia I’d have benched Southee if Boult was fit. But he has not been **** today. Not at all.

 

[straw man]

southee should just go all the way and drop his pace down to 120kph like our lord and saviour

De Grandhomme does get appreciably more from the pitch bowling 122 than Southee at 128.

Tbf Southee has been very accurate today.

 

[Gnske]

The two teams have something in common.

The African players are the only good ones.
