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

[Skyliner]

 

[King Kane]

Henry once again looking like one of our best batsmen.

He will probably get out now.

 

[Bahnz]

TV screen shows Henry's Hagley average is 37.

Sumo: he should go for his shots, he averages 36 here.

Starting to suspect that Scotty might not just be a crap commentator but also illiterate as well.

Green 1/11 @SillyCowCorner1

 

[Bahnz]

Gotta say, Green's bowling looks roughly on par with Will O'Rourke's. What a freak of a talent.

 

[Ghost75]

Perfect opportunity for a Ben Sears debut 100

 

[King Kane]

Henry is at least edging the ball through the gaps rather than to the fielders.

 

[Victor Ian]

this partnership is looking threatening.

 

[thundaboult]

Crowe still better than Kane

Mental block still bigger than godzilla

 

[Son Of Coco]

Australia to tailenders eh...

 

[Days of Grace]

Just what I need. A roving reporter who knows nothing about cricket cheerfully telling me that the match is not over.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Gee that's a good nut.

 

[Son Of Coco]

That's not.

 

[_Ed_]

I see we lost four wickets while I was on a 25-minute flight.

 

[Dick Rockett]

So to entertain myself while the NZ cricket team self immolates, I've done anagrams of their names:

Tom Latham	A malt moth
Will Young	You'll win, G
Kane Williamson	I kill sane woman
Rachin Ravindra	Rad van I ran rich
Darryl Mitchell	Dry camel thrill
Tom Blundell	Blond mullet
Glenn Phillips	Shlepping 'n' ill*
Scott Kuggeleijn	Get no justice**
Matt Henry	Rent my hat
Tim Southee	Time he's out
Ben Sears	Seen bars

*This one was really hard. Best I could come up with.
** There were some letters left over. I don't care.

 

[King Kane]

The fightback is on here with Henry and Southee, still some hope we can make it to 160 or even 180.

Crowe still better than Kane

Mental block still bigger than godzilla

Martin Crowe was one of our few batsmen that didn't sh*t themselves against the Aussies, mind you he didn't face a bowling attack as good as this one.

 

[Ghost75]

Crowe still better than Kane

Mental block still bigger than godzilla

Crowe averaged about 3 runs higher against Australia than his overall career. Williamson about 15 runs less

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Just what I need. A roving reporter who knows nothing about cricket cheerfully telling me that the match is not over.

Lol bloody well hope it's not over in the middle session on day 1. Or that bloke's gonna be out of a job for 4 days.
