*Official* New Zealand in Australia 2019/20

[NUFAN]

Where is sillycowcorner and his 91 all out junk prediction.

 

[TheJediBrah]

This could be the worst pair of batsman to make a 100 run partnership in the history of Australian cricket

 

[honestbharani]

Man, its one thing to debate over whether Santner should be in the XI but if you don't trust him for more than a dozen overs out of a 130 odd, you are better off playing an extra batsman there.

 

[straw man]

Santner-watch: still fewer wickets in the series than jeet raval.

 

[James]

I'm a tad surprised Kane hasn't rolled his arm over - has he had problems with his action again?

 

[honestbharani]

Head scoring more than sunraM and Smith will be funny...

 

[Starfighter]

So like, where's Boult?

 

[Daemon]

Still got to get Pattinson, Starc, Cummins and Lyon after this. Game’s over.

 

[ataraxia]

WTH is this partnership?

They can both bat and bowlers are tired

Yeah, had to undertake remedial work again earlier in the year I think.

 

[Gnske]

Spikey and TJB suffering substantial losses today.

 

[aussie tragic]

Laugh at commentator spiel that Head is next captain...he's barely locked in test spot

 

[stephen]

TJB and Red Hill tasting so hard with this partnership.

Lol.. what does that have to do with my post about Santner?

 

[Athlai]

Boult unfortunately fairly undercooked this Test. Southee is doing his work here but just looks unthreatening in Australia. Wagner is gun. CDG doing well. Santner looks in utter shambles. The NZ contingent is always happy to pile on Santner but this is the worst hes ever looked in a Test match, can't get any rhythm going at all, part of that was due to Smith and Marnus going after him well already well set but really expected him to recover after that and he hasn't. Some signs in the second session today, but 5 sessions into an innings and any useful role is gone.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

yep, this definitely looks like a test series in aus

 

[GoodAreasShane]

I'm guessing it was an accident, in trying to reply to a post the forum can inadvertently quote another earlier post as well, has happened to me a few times on mobile.

 

[GotSpin]

Australia should just bat until tomorrow and grind NZ down. Any (serious) talk of declaration is nonsense

A large part of his lack or rhythm is Williamson basically doing the captaincy equivalent of completely bbqing him. Smith and Labushagne went after him for one over. One. And Williamson ran up the white flag at the first sign of grape shot. Utterly gutless captaincy.
