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

[SillyCowCorner1]

That was Martynesque

 

[Spark]

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

Yeah it's a huge knock for him. Could be a turning point in his career.

 

[NZTailender]

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

Would've been streets ahead of SP. Just have Blundell up to the stumps while he bowls 10 in a row into the breeze, rotating the other quicks

 

[straw man]

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

It was time.

The confounding factor though, is that he still would've been preferable to Kuggeleijn and would've had no less zip than Southee this series.

 

[Burgey]

Yeah it's a huge knock for him. Could be a turning point in his career.

Yeah hopefully. Having a productive and reliable number 3 is so important to a betting line up

Valuable runs from Starc here too.

I think next time Aus tours NZ I’ll try to get over for the Christchurch test. I love the look of this ground.

 

[NZTailender]

Starting to drift a bit again. Australia would be well happy with 250 from here and very happy with a psychological 3 figure lead

Phillips should've been kept on imo

 

[ashley bach]

Henry 6/66 @SillyCowCorner1

 

[NZTailender]

Lmao at Macca not realising that was an edge.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

6-66 Matt Henry

@ashley bach

 

[straw man]

6/66!

 

[Flametree]

Yeah hopefully. Having a productive and reliable number 3 is so important to a betting line up

Valuable runs from Starc here too.

Given the ACB's views, icebergs might have all melted by then and the ground will be under water...

 

[NZTailender]

Yeah hopefully. Having a productive and reliable number 3 is so important to a betting line up

Valuable runs from Starc here too.

that's decades away with based on the frequency of tours here, though probably blink of an eye for you

 

[Prince EWS]

Oh god, we’re getting closer to noted Tory boot-licker Josh Inglis in the test side aren’t we
Would rather Pierson

Baxter Holt IMO.

 

[Silver Silva]

Most Test runs without a Test Hundred:

1.3154 - Shane Warne
2.2757* - Niroshan Dickwella
3.2098*- Tim Southee
4.2093* - Mitchell Starc
5.2084 -Chetan Chauhan

 

[Burgey]

Cumdog Millionaire getting in on the act

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Cracking sound off the bat of the 'dawg

 

[Spark]

Useful Runs (TM)

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Fortune favors the brave

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Bang!

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

It was time.

The confounding factor though, is that he still would've been preferable to Kuggeleijn and would've had no less zip than Southee this series.

So it wasn't time.
