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

[HeathDavisSpeed]

I see that CW has plumbed new depths of political correctness. I'll have to use different phrases to convey the same sentiment in the future...

Perhaps Cumming's question was meant for a lobotomised guest star on a We Are the Champions special.

Watling blatantly looking for that ODI slot

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

I feel like the answer to that video question thing is vaguely NSFW. They just ignored it, I guess.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Watling WAG.

Why is he not in the ODI team again? He's shown he can score quickly on several occasions.

 

[grecian]

I know the Ausses are shell-shocked a little but this is a pretty chicken-**** field to Watling, one slip and then everyone out on the boundaries, it's BJ Watling not ****ing Viv Richards.

 

[Athlai]

...has the spirit of Baz began to transfer into BJ? That attempted ramp

 

[Bahnz]

Yeah, with all the fielders back its gonna be hard for BJ to hit 4's, so might as well take the runs on offer.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

booooo, get boult back on strike

 

[Bahnz]

Seriously, why the **** does Boult bat below Southee? There've been so many when we've needed the lower order to chip in where Southee's slogged out for single figures and Boult's trolled his way to a valuable 15-30 range score. Just got more ticker.

Watling unlucky, that would've been 6 if this were a sensible sized ground.

 

[Athlai]

Very well played from Watling.

2nd highest runrate for a completed innings ftr.

[wellAlbidarned]

poor from watling, just needed to hang in there and support boult

 

[vcs]

Weird.. this looks a very good total considering they were inserted first on a spicy pitch, still the way they've batted makes it look like they could have got maybe 100 more.

 

[morgieb]

These next 20 overs are gonna be very interesting, needless to say.

Obviously you'd take 370 being inserted in any day of the week, but will New Zealand bowl well?

 

[Athlai]

Picking Australia to be 2 down by close of play.

 

[Spark]

Think we've been quite fortunate to get away with only 370 tbh, was fearing something much bigger.

Also think that's well above par, mind.

 

[Gob]

6 for 60 at the stumps

 

[wellAlbidarned]

southee should have burns for breakfast judging by that over

 

[NUFAN]

If you add 10 overs to each of our bowlers bowling figures, it looks more reasonable. I'm not used to seeing every bowler go the distance, usually someone keeps it relatively tight.

 

[Gnske]

Nice, almost bowled around the legs first ball.

Gonna be a short stay I think

 

[Immenso]

102/0 at stumps. S & B are busted flushes.

 

[Athlai]

Burns looks like a deer in headlights.
