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

[BeeGee]

Yep. Woke me up in Lower Hutt. Just a bit of a shove followed by a shimmy.

That's how my wife describes my ***ual technique.

 

[Immenso]

I've just read there was a bit of a quake in Wton this morning. Anyone feel it?

Hell yes. Felt in in the Wairarapa. Was the severest jolt I've ever felt tbh (but I'm in a different building type than when experiencing the Kairkoura and Seddon quakes). But it lasted like almost literally only 1or 2 seconds.

 

[NZTailender]

I hope he gets absolutely pasted. I want him to go at 10s and for the Aussie quicks to just barrage him with bouncers until he falls onto his stumps

 

[Immenso]

Hmmm. File size limit makes this tricky, but here we are.

Early bird gets the perfect spot.

 

[straw man]

Kuggeleijn confirmed. Ugh.

Once again, I'm out. Enjoy the test, guys.

Yeah not gonna watch this but I'll keep an eye on cricinfo and this thread.

Get ****ed Stead.

Watch Wellington vs Canterbury instead for your cricket fix imo.

 

[Flem274*]

The absolute scenes when the Aussies have the people's champion eco warrior quick bowler and we have the controversial one.

Are we the baddies?

Predictions

We take early wickets with Henry and O'Rourke outstanding to leave Aus 60/4. Both go down injured as Cam Green fulfils his talent with 220*. Australia finish on 485. With these bowling injuries the 2 remaining seamers then play all of our tests for next 12 months.

When batting Young has double failures as we lose by 225 runs. He is replaced by Rachin for the 2nd test with Nicholls back in the middle order. Nicholls scores a gutsy 50 in our innings' defeat thus staying in the test team for the next 3 years. When Conway returns from injury Ravindra is left out of the test side for 2-3 years to develop his game

 

[ashley bach]

Cam Green would need 3 days to make 220 the way he bats.

 

[ashley bach]

Hell of a toss to win it would appear, hope we can take full toll.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

1-0

Haha the score.

 

[Aidan11]

That was a good ball.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Most of the balls that have hit Smudge’s bay have struck the ‘N’ of the New Balance logo on his bat.

 

[ashley bach]

Unlucky 1st over from Henry, there's certainly some juice in the deck.

 

[jcas0167]

Watch Wellington vs Canterbury instead for your cricket fix imo.

One bonus of Nicholls being called up is Mariu and Ken McClure are playing.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

That’s a wide man

 

[Aidan11]

That was a brave leave by Khawaja.

 

[Flem274*]

Haddins right, we're on the pretty length.

 

[thierry henry]

Ah **** they’re about to put us on TV

 

[straw man]

Haddins right, we're on the pretty length.

Agree, though that was still an excellent over from Henry in which he pushed into the fuller length a couple of times.

Throwdown from Southee.

Southee spraying it wide
