***Official*** Australia in New Zealand 2016

[Jord]

Good day of play; just a shame our bowling attack is weak and doesn't contain a GOAT to get us through. We'll have to require on WAGner (am I doing it right? Do I belong yet?) to get a few more tomorrow early, preferably Smith for 2.

I don't know who fiery is, but this new bloke isn't as good as Blocky.

I've asked this before, but why are Kiwis so naturally sour? I don't just mean cricket, I mean in general. You hail from a beautiful, peaceful country; you gave the world Dave Dobbin plus Herbs and Split Enz as well as Footrot Flats, plus you have the All Blacks. But the natural national demeanour seems to be about as happy as a Sydney cab driver/ Australian farmer.

Our neighbours tbf. Hard to be happy with what you've got when they're shoving how amazing they are down your throats and the best we can muster gets a "well lol it's not like we care about Rugby anyway. Here's our billionth world class bowler and batsman riding on a wave of natural resources."

Things that make me sour about NZ since we're sharing all
-Aucklandcentrism
-the oft overlooked Wellingtoncentrism
-Cantabrians talking about their sports teams
-most students attempts to be political
-the ****s given about the extreme poverty in hamilton
-the cult of nature
-the new zealand bowling attack
-im hungry

On the other hand, they have to live in Australia.

Australia is just generally far too good at cricket. There should be some sort of restriction on the amount of hours they can train every day ... or they should have to bat with cardboard bats, or something.

NZ's national mental health is at stake!

* posts Lyon GOAT a million times *

Ftr that Lyon GOAT thing is getting amazingly tedious, to the point where I'm infracting it next time under repetitive posting. Fine if you have a point, but hammering it again and again and again in completely irrelevant circumstances is just dull.

On this, did anyone else catch what is possibly Ian Smith's most brilliant observation yesterday in the comm box? Camera focused on a chap in the crowd who was wearing the eyepatch, and I can't remember the exact words but it was to the effect of "an eye-patch, something all Cantabrians are familiar with."

You'd love Fiery. Join cricsim FFS.

Also yea Jord's trying to hard to fit in. Blocky just called us all ****s and got on with it. That's what made him so grating. The anti-establishment schtick, combined with incredible stubbornness, a hunger for the fight, and a fantastic passive-aggressive smiley game is a hard combo to beat.

Seems you need to shift out of 3rd gear.

 

[TheJediBrah]

be funny if Lyon ends up a 50 year old still playing test cricket with 1500 test wickets

literally the GOAT

This, incidentally, is also still infract-on-sight as well. From everyone. And not just in this thread.

I'm sure you'll manage.

Not as well as Lyon the GOAT managed to adapt to NZ conditions.
