After that leg stump half volley Young has been getting a real working over from Hazlewood.

Yeah, we all know about the excluding the high score you are bad joke. But Ravindra has scored just 130 runs in 10 innings excluding the 240. Has to score at least a couple of more good innings to prove that he is the real deal.

Rachin has matured a lot as a batsman in the last year tbf. Still a ways to go before hes more than just a talent though.

Sounds like a spectator may be barracking Young. Keep hearing “sold him down the river” being yelled out.

Classic NZ mindset on the comms asking whether this is the best Oz bowling quartet ever. This quartet has been part of two losing series against India at home and have been part of only one winning series overseas in 6-7 years.

Marnus is by a distance our best ground fielder and the only one who consistently gets direct hits. Probably because he's a Saffer. Not someone you want to be taking on.
I think he's the only one left who I'd call genuinely fast across the turf now that Warner is gone.

Still get a chuckle thinking about that post during the WC labelling him the worst fielder in the team

Well at least things have settled down a bit now after the chaos and calamity of the first few overs,

On the Williamson run out, would he have even made it without the collision? Reckless run to take under normal circumstances.
It was a needless risky single even without the collision, you could maybe understand it in a T20 or an ODI but not the first few overs of a test match,

Why take the risk? We threw away the wicket of our best batsman to try and score a lousy single.

It's hard enough for us to try to beat Australia without us just throwing our wickets away to them.

Latham lasted longer than anyone could have expected. There were some fast straight balls that he managed to keep out.

Despite batting NZ to the draw in that Kanpur test he was miscast at no.7, probably shouldn’t have been in the team then anyway. But yes, still a work in progress at this stage you’d think.
