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

[Flem274*]

Tim Southee can't bowl well anymore, isn't a genius skipper, and could be considered a shithouse bat and reviewer.

Apart from that he's going well.

Nah honestly it just sucks we're letting a good generation of players fizzle like this because NZC are too scared to do the kind thing. We drifted with The Boss too. WTC final should have been his final test.

Glenn Phillips is a very good cricketer. Big fan.

Only one of the kiwis who I would consider giving a shot for Australia A if he was Aussie

 

[Dick Rockett]

Great troll from Haddin describing Southee as a "big wicket".

I mean, he's quite tall.

 

[TheJediBrah]

I know this has been some bad batting from NZ if they've gifted Lyon 3 wickets this quickly. Lyon is a shadow of himself these days

 

[Athlai]

Santa may have helped us keep Oz to 280 and maybe found us an extra 20 runs.

 

[Days of Grace]

To think Ian Smith was calling for Young to play ahead of Phillips.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Last 4 years Henry averaging 27.5 with the bat and 26 with the ball.

 

[Spark]

Ah, now the difficult bit starts...

 

[Fuller Pilch]

To think Ian Smith was calling for Young to play ahead of Phillips.

Was he??!!
Probably bcos Young is from CD.

 

[Spark]

That'll do for Hazlewood if he's going to bowl like that. No tolerance for that sort of trash at this stage of the innings

 

[Flem274*]

Henry cameos are always fun. Boi wants to be a senior player.

 

[straw man]

SK picked despite being massively unpopular because he can bat and bowl fast.

SK: promptly does not bat well or bowl fast

Blair Tickner died for this

 

[ataraxia]

Henry is such a pleasingly massive hitter.

 

[Spark]

Thank goodness

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Quality fielder Marnus.

 

[King Kane]

Gutsy stuff from Henry, along with Phillips he has at least shown some fight with the bat.

It's still a poor total but it's better than it looked like being when we were 113/7.

Surprise, surprise.

Pick one to bat for your life: Tim Southee, or a cardboard cutout of Tim Southee.

He could have at least got out slogging like he usually does instead of that tame dismissal against Lyon.

 

[Flem274*]

Sorry, my wicket

 

[straw man]

yay Henry

 

[Days of Grace]

Fans should vote with their feet here and stay away in the weekend to send a message to NZC.

 

[anonymouskefe]

Aussie openers probably running off eager to face Southee
