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

[Athlai]

I'm annoyed that those wickets have got a bit of adrenaline going prior to our defeat. It's interrupted the flow of the gloomy rant I was composing about how I was done with this team etc.

If it makes you feel any better just look at the SP and Southee's figures this series.

Cummins raced to 9 doing nothing but poking at the ball

He knows how to win the woke way.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Eng wishes they could have imported GP into their ginger brigade and had him there in India.

“It’s almost like as the total gets lower, each boundary takes larger and larger chunks out of the total”

yeah that’s how proportions work rigor

 

[Burgey]

That's terrific running again.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Good God the kiwis are so nice. ****ing get in their faces already. Really missing that psycho here.

 

[King Kane]

Starting to lose hope again.

 

[Spark]

Almost a huge "bruh" there

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

The guys on fire and there's a deep point and 3 other men back ffs. Back your man not to bowl bad balls and don't give easy singles when there's only 40 to win. Also more chances for catches if more are in.

 

[Kraken]

that would've been a ****ing great catch

 

[cnerd123]

Just through the fingers. Oof

 

[thierry henry]

I get the arguments for not having a third man but it's insane how almost illegal it seems to be these days (as I say that, we have one)

Explains his terrible takes on the housing market though

 

[GotSpin]

Sears is straying a bit now

Exactly. Just because you’re in to a (capable) lower order can’t afford to stop trying to get Carey out.

 

[Moss]

Cummins seems pretty comfortable against Phillips, think Henry might be needed again.

No

It's daft. Get rid of the sweepers on either side if you have to and well done if the batsman hits a genuine stroke for a boundary. But squirts and edges running away for runs especially in close cases like this runs me up.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Big believer that third man should almost always be in. Make the batsmen earn their runs with good shots in front of the wicket.

Depends where you're taking the fielder from, in the context of plans and the batsman. Potentially having the 3rd man in costs more runs/wickets
