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

[King Kane]

That's a blinder from Phillips.

Very handy wicket just before lunch.

 

[Spikey]

if that catch had been taken away coz of the stupid grounding rule i would have had to become the joker or something

 

[Mark McGooch]

What doesn't make sense?

He looks like someone who has bowled spin for a long time rather than a converted keeper. Would like to see list of converted keeper spinners with better record!

 

[_Ed_]

Another 'what do you have for food catch' from Phillips

 

[NZTailender]

Phillips and Henry have carried NZ this series

Good piece of strategy overall there from Southee. It was obvious marnus was owning the leg side so having Blundell up to the stumps and going outside off was the way to go

 

[Silver Silva]

Oh that's unfortunate but what a brilliant innings from Marnus Labuschagne under pressure .
Could be match winning

 

[Fuller Pilch]

That’s an ATG catch right there.

That's an ATG spinning allrounder right there. Jadeja who?

 

[Fuller Pilch]

We need to go bang, bang and somehow bat 120 (+) overs.

 

[IcarianStyles]

Australia has a genuine chance of losing the test now FFS. 59 run lead is nothing when NZ pitch flattens out from Day 2 to 5.

Our batting has been dire once again

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

24 overs in that session, disgraceful over rate from New Zealand

Lazy shot before lunch though

There is always a chance of losing a test match but Australian team does not see cricket like that, they will feel a 50 run lead is worth atleast 2 wickets vs New Zealand

at the current rate, more like 5

 

[ashley bach]

GP yet again worth his weight in gold.

 

[straw man]

Saw the Wagner interview just now. What a guy - feel gutted for him, he clearly just wished it could go on forever.

One score in two (nearly) completed innings above 30 from both sides suggests this isn't exactly a road

 

[Burgey]

Certainly the best innings Marnus has played in ages. Batted a a decent tempo for the first time in about a year.

This is Tom Latham erasure and that's understandable tbh

It’s that passion that you think might’ve made a difference in this series. Who knows? But what a legend
