No we couldn't have, because of the small matter of a 5 Test Ashes series...Sigh. Bloody Champions Trophy.
Could have had a Third Test if it wasn't for that miscreant tournament.
Generally when one side who usually takes part in a 5 Test series becomes semi-minnow, they get the amount of Tests in the series reduced, like the Frank Worrell. Imagine the Ashes will be a 3 Test series after Australia get whitewashed, leaving more time for serious opposition like New Zealand and a resurgent West Indies.No we couldn't have, because of the small matter of a 5 Test Ashes series...
Best post, tbh.Valid point tbf, NZ's batting is probably better than Aus' batting at this stage.
I thought this the other day. Plus, we have about 4 spinners that are better than their ones.Valid point tbf, NZ's batting is probably better than Aus' batting at this stage.

Tbf though NZ having better spin bowlers than Aus is more or less a fact while your claim to be able to win a debate on the works of a medieval playwright with a bovine are much more speculative.Means as much as me saying I'm better at analysing shakespeare than a cow tbh
this.Would take Lyon over all our spinners tbh.
Yeah, and at this stage I'd probably take their openers over ours as well.Would take Lyon over all our spinners tbh.
Awta, Lyon did alright against SA, and Bartin was pretty hit and missWould take Lyon over all our spinners tbh.
Australasian 11:Yeah, and at this stage I'd probably take their openers over ours as well.
Australasian top 6:
Cowan, Warner, Williamson, Clarke, Taylor, McCullum
I'd swap Clarke and Taylor due to Clarke's weirdness with being moved from number five but other than that you're pretty spot on as things stand. A fit Ryan Harris would get a spot ahead of someone (and he's fit right now) but that's probably going to be as rare as a fit Bond was.Australasian 11:
Cowan, Warner, Williamson, Clarke, Taylor, McCullum, Watling, Siddle, Pattinson, Boult, Lyon.
Thoughts?
WTF? Who exactly are these four great spinners? NZ has terrible spinners.I thought this the other day. Plus, we have about 4 spinners that are better than their ones.
The one's I had in mind were Bartin, Vettori, Patel, and Tastle.WTF? Who exactly are these four great spinners? NZ has terrible spinners.
Lyon is definitely better than anyone we have.
And that's about it.But they have Clarke.
