A really piss-poor performance by the Aussie batsmen, Black Caps have bowled well but still Australian batsmen have aided them with some very dire shot selections, hope Aussie A boy improve in the next game, btw ffs why won't they just drop Adam Voges, he playing woeful cricket atm.
) Someone had to miss out and NZ's surplus is in middle order bats and seam bowlers so Hay & Boult were left out, expect them to straight swap for Redmond and Scott come next game. Would be interested to hear some Aussie opinions on the batting order, Voges batted at 3 in the "Tests" against India 'A' and now at 6 in the one-dayers? David Hussey surely better suited batting between 4-6?
Am I the only person that thinks that the depth in Aussie cricket has all either gotten old or injured in the last couple of years?
Phil "The Prince" Hughes: Left hander, stodgy (ie. short). Crouches a bit over the ball and seems to use a bat that's a touch too long. (It could just be his height). Handy with the gloves. From what I've seen of him he's a bit of a grafter, but can hit some good drives and plays the leg-side well.
Bailey should replace Voges in the next game imo, i think guys like North and Hussey being the more experienced batsmen need to bat more responsibly and hold the innings together.
I think it's more that Australia overrated the depth they did have. Because players performed in the best domestic comp in the world they all seemed to think they would be world beaters...unfortunately it doesnt work like that. And no matter how good they think their domestic comp is, international cricket is always going to be a big step up.
Not good enough?
