*Official* New Zealand in Australia 2019/20

I hate the reluctance of captains to put a guy right under the nose on the offside when theres a short pitch plan.

Brilliant from the Aryan god.

Yeah, they would have had Smith early on yesterday if they had the silly mid off in to Wagner One of the few chances he's offered.

 

[Flem274*]

this has been very good from aus as a unit. most teams crack to the bowl dry and wagnerball tactics.

 

[Burgey]

Yeah they’ve been very disciplined, which you sort of need to be on a deck like this. Said yesterday these sort of decks are the worst - easy to survive on but hard to score off. Just dull and lifeless, much like Melbourne itself

Actually been impressed by Head who has been prepared to wait and bide his time.

 

[thundaboult]

what a catch!!

 

[_Ed_]

Wags, you wonderful man. And that's a heck of a catch.

Is two or three more wickets before lunch too much to ask?

 

[straw man]

That was some great cricket. Wags

 

[Burgey]

Good ball badly played. Should have ducked it.

NZ’s terrible, terrible luck yet again on display there with Wagner a bee’s prick behind the line. Truly they cannot take a trick...

 

[ataraxia]

Need to wrap up the no. 8s quickly here.

Also BTW Nicholls took that tip-of-the-fingers wrong-handed. Pretty darn good.

 

[ajdude]

can't wait for paine to pull one tamely to square leg

 

[Burgey]

Also reckon Paine should bat about eight or nine in this line up tbh

Jeez that’s a terrific catch.

 

[thundaboult]

oh wow...that is some grab. Plucked it on the tip of just two or three fingers.

 

[Gnske]

Wagner should be in the Test team of the decade, dont @ me

 

[Grasshopper]

Great catch - finger tip control.

Wagner, you beauty!

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Wags is a bloody great bowler. Never gives an inch.

 

[Spikey]

god if these two jam out a 100 run stand

 

[Gnske]

god if these two jam out a 100 run stand

It'll be test cricket like we've never seen it before.

 

[ataraxia]

Trent cutting the margins.

 

[thundaboult]

Wags is simply world class. Our best test bowler of the past 4 or 5 years. First name on the teamsheet. If he was playing LO's he would definitely be one of the most popular players in the world...so much character he has. By the time he finishes, he will definitely be recognized worldwide.

 

[Spikey]

what was that noise

 

[Gnske]

Did Warne just say Paine is good on the pull in that previous over?
