**Official** New Zealand in Australia 2015

sour grapes imo

 

[Niall]

It might add some spice to the rugby world cup final.

500-1 the only innings on a pitch deemed too dangerous to play on. I assume they're concerned about the fast bowler's backs?

david pocock is a man who fights injustice, and the kiwis attempt to diminish Carters and Finch is the greatest injustice of all

 

[Spikey]

its probably footmarks, but carters being so good probably led to that

Probably forfeited since the Blacktown boundaries are too big.

Don't blame them.

Pretty weak. You'd think a good centre practice would be just what the kiwis would be after.

If Baz declared at 0/0 then Turner should just have have said to Funchy and Carters go and have another crack lads.

Still ended up 4th highest fc first wicket partnership all time.

You know the Aussie summer is coming up when the Aussies start talking big about cricket.

We all know what happens the moment you step foot out of Australia

It's not super, but hardly unplayable. Nothing really near a good line and length other than flat mud. Wouldn't last 5 days but it never had to.

i think this finally puts to bed the myth of the kiwi battler, fighting above their weight. they are actually little chicken ****s

 

[Cabinet96]

It's definitely the sort of pitch you'd want to bat out of your crease on. https://twitter.com/samuelfez/status/659902492008837120

It would be stupid for NZ to continue on, it would serve them no purpose.

 

[RxGM]

Im really not surprised that Baz has walked away. NZ said before the match that it was a waste of time, hence the shortening of it too three days. Getting batting practice on a pitch that doesnt resemble the gabba has no value.

 

[nevermind]

So hard to decide a winner out of that, both teams had their moments. In the end I think NZ just come out on top, and as a result will be bringing a lot of momentum into the 1st Test.

uh honour

 

[Gnske]

Agreed, the boundaries would have to be brought in at least another 20 metres.

Let's not get into a nationalistic trolling ****fight, eh?

And here I was hoping for a tour thread that would remain civil, especially now that Brad Haddin isn't a thing.

a real man like david warner fights on, no matter how bad the pitch is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCRqP8vWNYA

I shed a tear every time I see this video, these men truly went beyond the call of duty with their bravery and pride in their state.
