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

[Gnske]

Conway batting here would be both pointless and a daft risk even if his thumb isn't broken

Pointless
Who cares
Doesn't matter anyway
We were never going to win

You guys depress me so badly

 

[NZTailender]

Jacob Oram also giving off a bit of this energy.

 

[jcas0167]

Oh god Nicholls is getting another callup isn’t he?

It's inevitable.

 

[Jezroy]

Ouch. That wasn’t much fun.

Lol'd at this, but I'm not sure why

 

[straw man]

Well we can't bat for **** today but at least we get the moral victory for the most 140+ bowlers - these are the metrics that count.

[King Kane]

Well at least we made it past 100.

Awful batting performance apart from Phillips and Boult, even with Conway, Ravindra, Williamson and Mitchell out we still should have done better.

Our batting depth is a big concern, Young, Chapman and Clarkson all had a chance to stand up tonight with the big guns out and none of them did.

Ferguson and Sears the only real positives from tonight.

 

[Flem274*]

I judge Clarkson a lot less than the others. Up **** creek in your second game, it happens.

Young and Chapman have been around a bit.

Eh, shrug. I'm saving my tears for losing the test series. Getting out to some random medium pacer and zampa tonight was just the warm up.

 

[thundaboult]

Quite enjoyed what i've seen so far from o-rork and sears tbh, can't wait for smith and fisher

only clarksons first game, he's got a lot to offer

I think they call that the Pakistani victory

 

[TheJediBrah]

Don't know why they are giving Wade games right now. Inglis is a better bat and keeper. Wade shouldn't be close to the best team

 

[Athlai]

That Wade catch was pretty cool tho

isnt that the one where you brag about the most teenage bowlers and how your bowling attack is set for the next 2 decades every 2 years on repeat

Am I forgetting someone (genuinely) who would be a good backup for Inglis at the WC?

Having amnesia from the last BBL season

does it matter? wade, inglis, spanish, any aussie keeper is winning a world cup at some point in their lifetime

I just got nostalgic for windieweathers

Wade's keeping was garbage last time I saw it in the T20 against WI. He might be an option as a bat but him keeping all these games instead of Inglis is ridiculous
