*Official* Australia tour of New Zealand Feb-Mar 2024

[Hurricane2]

Gambhiring version of possible NZ test XI

1 Conway - presently a walking wicket lbw candidate
2 Latham - can't get past 40
3 Kane can he handle the pressure of having no batting support at the other end
4 Rachin less than ten tests
5 Mitchell his test match batting average flatters him
6 Blundell is who is he is
7 Phillips less than ten tests
8 Kuggeleign - less than ten tests
Other 8 option Santner - not a premier spinner - just a holding bowler
9 Henry - lost 5kms for some reason
10 Southee - no comment
11 O'Rourke - less than ten tests

An Australian poster is welcome to post a similar version of their team as a counter if you so wish.

Stop picking Wagner. Leave him in peace.

I swear to holy christ if we gift Australia the narrative that they 'conquered' him...

 

[Nintendo]

Not sure using the R word is the done thing, no matter what we think about his conduct

He had *** with a girl after she said no, and only got out of the court case due to legal bullshit, right? I feel fully comfortable calling him a rapist if what i've been told about the situation is true. If it's not, let me know and i'll stop using that words in regards to him.

This is rich given the cowardly dribble you were spouting last week.

"Even if NZ do fluke a win, it doesn't count because we aren't going to be mentally up for it because it's so easy!"

Some serious player comparisons subbie material that. Don't bring that **** in here. If you declare Alex Carey isn't a fulltime wicketkeeper or start removing all the Australian overseas hundreds to prove they can't score overseas hundreds, we might have to send you to live on a farm as a kindness.

Thought I cleared this up for you, didn't realise you couldn't read

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Scott K isn't playing unless there's an injury, it's not a big issue

He'd better ****ing not be as this wasn't something I foresaw when I bought a 5-day ticket. I will get thrown out at some point if he's playing, I fear.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

As much as I hate seeing the rapist in squads, atleast he's somewhat earned it, unlike the England call up. Took poles vs aus-A in Australia and was one of the leading wicket takers in the early stage of the PS pre Bangladesh tour.

Indeed. He also scored a valuable ton against Australia A so was very much NZ's key player in that series.

Still of the view his speed doesn't make up for the lack of movement he gets and as such is a very hittable bowler.

If Kuggs plays we could actually claim the moral high-ground

From a legal standpoint it would probably be safer to call him alleged rapist

You guys might actually get a moral victory. Must feel nice after going 0-5 in the ashes.

 

[PlayerComparisons]

Williamson needs to replicate his series against South Africa

I've yet to recieve a cease and desist order from kuggs lawyers, unfortunately.

 

[_Ed_]

So now I might not even watch the test series I've been looking forward to for so long. Awesome.

 

[Flem274*]

Kuggs is just a **** Dougeh really. Only one of them has hit Graeme Smith in the head.

 

[NZTailender]

If SK does play I hope the Aussies absolutely demolish his bowling and sledge the ever living crap out of the ****

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Matt Henry out of the T20s with some soreness now. Sigh.

 

[Prince EWS]

Not sure using the R word is the done thing, no matter what we think about his conduct

I think even what he admitted to doing clearly meets the dictionary definition even if apparently not the legal one, but players do read the forum so I worry about defamation implications sometimes. There are probably less dicey ways to call him out.

at least we get to see Sears

Do you own shares in the forum or something

Hilarious and very funny.
