*Official* New Zealand in Australia 2019/20

[thierry henry]

Commentators being harsh here, he was never catching that

 

[Bahnz]

Time to bring Wagner back to bounce Starc.

 

[Jezroy]

I’d rather have Astle in the team than Santner now. The guy is just pointless unless he wants to be a batsman who bowls a little bit of off spin. Just hate that his bowling signifies shutting up shop.

 

[Burgey]

Cummins' batting this year has been an exercise in misery

It’s become miserable since he bought a rural property tbh.

 

[Moss]

Not a fan of spin vs Starc here TBH. Recalling that 20-run over off Mark Craig at Adelaide 2015, I'd much rather the pacemen try to run through the remaining batsmen and limit the damage here. Southee and Wagner must be knackered, though.

 

[veganbob]

Hands up if you think Jeet has more potential as a leg spinner than opening bat..

Nah, Raval is a decent test opener.
He already looks a better spinner than santner though. Taking a wicket plus going at less than santner who apart from not being to take wickets-is really easy to score off if needed.

If the selectors are smart enough it allows is to play a extra bowler or batsman at 7 /8 instead of santner-Raval can replace his overs.

 

[_Ed_]

Oh, Jeet.

 

[Starfighter]

Raval maintaining his form.

 

[Moss]

Oh bloody hell. NZ need to lift here.

 

[straw man]

There goes all the confidence Raval had gradually rebuilt. Such an unreliable fielder and lately, the ball just seems to follow him.

 

[_Ed_]

Good to see Wags back. He deserves to take the rest of these.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Great bowling from Raval, unfortunately he's rubbish at all other aspects of cricket.

 

[Burgey]

I think Australia has plenty here tbh.

 

[Jezroy]

I think Australia has plenty here tbh.

Yeah - we’re going to have to bat really well to get out of this. We’ve got to wear these ****s down big time.

 

[_Ed_]

**** that's a good catch.

 

[straw man]

Pleased Southee got that wicket.

 

[Burgey]

Terrific catch. NZ bowled well tbh. Haven’t given too much away. Certainly Fergusson injured made it very tough, having the fifth bowler has helped a load I imagine.

This’ll be funny actually because Lyon loves the hook and Wagner generally bowls to it well.

Edit: indeed

 

[Starfighter]

That was the most entertaining over of the match. Be hard to beat that all summer actually.

 

[Jezroy]

Well. Good thing CDG was there and not Jeet. Good plans Wags.

 

[straw man]

Take the last wicket now and a fresh start for the batsmen in the final session plz.
