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

[straw man]

Conway has to tell himself his luck has turned after that 6.

 

[King Kane]

Conway starting to find some form, this is turning into a pretty good start.

 

[jcas0167]

Good to see Conway get a couple out of the middle.

Speaking of stupid Warner baiting the ground announcer just interviewed some kid and asked for a score prediction. Kid answered Warner would get a duck. Almost hope he gets runs to annoy the little ****.

 

[NZTailender]

Interesting call taking Starc off after one over. Was getting massive hoop, would've stuck with him for probably 3 overs up front to try and take advantage.

March fixing to make the game last 40 overs

 

[NZTailender]

Lmao starc comes back and immediately gets Allen.

 

[King Kane]

Well at least Allen got a quick 30 odd before Starc came back on.

 

[Burgey]

So Short owes us 32.

Looking forward to this match up. Keen followers of expert cricketing opinion would know I rate Ravindra the best young player I've seen in about ten years.

 

[CricAddict]

No Mitchell either, Australia's batting line up definitely looks stronger than ours on paper and they bat pretty deep too with Matt Short at no.7.

Yes, NZ batting looks short till 7 only while Aus batting has short at 7.

Mitch Marsh owes you 32 for taking Starc off

 

[SteveNZ]

It's fun when Finn comes off but gee he can look like a horrible hack against top class bowling

 

[Burgey]

Mitch Marsh owes you 32 for taking Starc off

He should have been run out for nothing tbf.

Good to see Conway batting well. Rate him as a cricketer.

 

[King Kane]

Normally you can rely on Starc bowling some pies but he's been the Aussies best bowler so far.

We might need to target their other bowlers.

 

[straw man]

We've been quite good at skying the ball into gaps today

 

[SteveNZ]

Mark Richardson just described Marsh as 'good on his feet'. Handy skill for a cricketer

 

[Burgey]

He's been low key awesome across most formats for the better part of 18 months to two years tbh. Before he got injured against SA last summer he'd had a good 12 months. Was missed pretty badly in India I reckon cos he can reverse it, then he was excellent in the Ashes, contrary to a lot of expectations.

He’s good but I think the Australian captain’s kid bro is more talented and around the same age too, give or take 15 years.

Yeah I hope to see young Shaun play some day.

 

[CricAddict]

NZ are one bowler too many. Will Young should have come in for one of the bowlers given Ravindra, Philips, Clarkson all can bowl.

 

[King Kane]

Rachin looking scratchy and Conway seems to have lost form again.

We need something to kickstart our innings again.

 

[SteveNZ]

Will Young shouldn't play T20Is. Averages 18 at a strike rate of a run a ball, which is about his ceiling
