*Official* New Zealand in Australia 2019/20

[Gnske]

"Tim Paine is good at everything, I want him gone. Btw Alex Carey is Gilchrist" - Shane Keith Warne 2019

 

[Burgey]

This commentary on seven saying Australia aren’t scoring fast enough is woeful. They’re not scoring slowly by choice, it’s just a dog of a deck to put runs on quickly if you bowl a decent length. Any idea that NZ will come out and blaze away at four or five an over on this dirge of a pitch is laughable.

boult has been pretty ragged since the second new ball. definitely looks like he hasn't bowled for a month

 

[The Battlers Prince]

I don’t think the kiwis need to worry. Head will give another chance or more in the next few overs

Even Warne isn't complaining about it yet. How dire.

Situation for a CDG explosion.

Was just thinking that. Despite his impressive initial burst, it looks like NZ may have a bit of a rusty Boult here



Yeah that was appalling. I'll get my coat

a lot of former players like mark waugh herr showing why smith is better than them. the only way to win wagnerball is to not play wagnerball. wagner did get smith but unlike the others who were lucky to get to 30 he already had 80 before he copped a brute.

Smith is Wagner's bunny confirmed.

The runs have dried up

Wagner only four wickets away from 200. Hope he can do it in this game.

I think he’s been great this spell tbh. Threatened both edges with movement both ways.

 

[GotSpin]

400 is probably enough to be in front

 

[Burgey]

You can just tell ponting wishes he was playing against this tactic.

What a match up that would have been.

CDG is teasing Head

It’s heaps on this. It’s such a shithole of a pitch that you have to bowl complete pish for the other side to score fast enough to get a result. 400 plus here basically ensures the worst result for australia is a draw.

Edit: good knock that. TJB spewing and tasting hard rn

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.

Blocky vindicated

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Take a bow, Head

 

[Gnske]

That would have been mesmerising.

A world class 50 from Head, you'd have to be stupid to think he isn't test match quality and in world class echelon of players.

The runs have dried up

Don't think 28 runs in 42 balls means that.
