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

No Rigor and Macca, don't bowl bouncers those go for runs, he is not Wagner. There is something in this pitch. If you can bowl 140s just bowl full and straight. Sigh

 

[TheJediBrah]

That ball didn't consent to being stopped

 

[Spark]

Big believer that third man should almost always be in. Make the batsmen earn their runs with good shots in front of the wicket.

I don't know about "always" but it should definitely be a default that you only go away from with an actual reason

 

[King Kane]

We haven't bowled well to Cummins, made it too easy for him.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Cummins: *Hits one to mid on*
Rig: "Nearly drags it on!"

 

[Moss]

Sears has bowled poorly since the double wicket. Seems a control thing, full and fast is probably the right idea but he’s just not getting it on target.

 

[Burgey]

This is tremendous by Cummins. Honestly, what a grand cricketer he is. Some of his recent lower order contributions have been almost Davo level, to go with his bowling and fielding. Just a ****ing gun.

 

[Burgey]

Depends where you're taking the fielder from, in the context of plans and the batsman. Potentially having the 3rd man in costs more runs/wickets

Should always be one to Cummins though. It's his bread and butter.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Cummins really seems to level up with the bat in pressure situations.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Cummins really seems to level up with the bat in pressure situations.

But if he comes in at 7/300 in the first innings he's a bunny for some reason

 

[Burgey]

I know he's just swept that for four, but this is a good match up for NZ. They need to get Phillips to bowl a full over to Carey if possible.

 

[Burgey]

Though not like that I guess. Quality batting tbf

 

[Spark]

Cummins really seems to level up with the bat in pressure situations.

Just really understands his game and is unnaturally calm with the bat despite his limited repertoire. Lot of lower order bats could learn from his example

 

[Athlai]

The best part of this series is that surely even ****ing Stead can never pick SP for a Test match again

 

[OverratedSanity]

Brilliant from Carey. Maybe his best knock in tests. He's played a handful of gems between the regular servings of crap.

 

[cnerd123]

Getting white washed 2-0 at home is embarrassing

 

[TheJediBrah]

If Carey tons up here it will be shades of Gilchrist at Hobart 1999

 

[Kraken]

needs to bowl outside off stump though

 

[Spark]

Brilliant from Carey. Maybe his best knock in tests. He's played a handful of gems between the regular servings of crap.

His best knock by miles tbh, he played some good ones in Pakistan but those don't compare to a pressure 4th innings chase

Still work to do though

 

[Burgey]

Just really understands his game and is unnaturally calm with the bat despite his limited repertoire. Lot of lower order bats could learn from his example

Yeah am absolutely sold on it being about 98% temperament
