Cricket: NZ vs Aus
-
When the Black Caps were the Craps I painted the ceilings in my house wearing the Cap which looked like it had been attacked by seagulls with diarrhoea after the job and was promptly dispensed with!
This is a very different team !
I will be buying new merchandise!
There is a genuine spine throughout the squad where individuals just step up when others disappoint.Shit!
Taylor is out!
The above is just the rambling of an old dude who saw ‘85/‘86 live...........If anybody can ......
A Kiwi can!!! -
Lyon is a significant advantage for Aus compared to Santer in conditions like this.
We've certainly had the worst of the conditions but we're getting outplayed across the park.
No build up games in Aus has not helped either.

But I remain positive!!Yeah, I'm certain the Black Caps arrived at the ground expecting to play Sri Lanka's military medium pacers as usual.

Hold on I was only half watching that. I didn't see any hot-spot or snicko? Why was that out?

I’m starting to wonder.

Hometown decision.
-
So it's impossible to overturn a caught behind. What an absurd decision.
-
Comms falling over themselves to justify the decision. That was an absolute shocker. Objectively wrong.
-
Getting absolutely reeeeemed.
Also thinking they'll enforce the follow-on if possible. Bat until the start of the third session tomorrow and rip us out again.
-
These comms are fucking painful. Yeah I'm sure CdG actually wanted to be given out so he didn't have to face Starc again. What the fuck are they talking about.

The bowling effort was admirable. One bowler down ( LF’s choice proved to be a mistake anyway ) and some reasonable discipline, bowling to fields set.
However, our Achilles heel for the series was always going to be batting. Aussies have the 3 best quicks in world cricket ( speed, bounce, movement esp. with pink ball, accuracy ) and Blackcaps always struggled when the dial is turned up. Not sure how they have prepared for the change but evidence is we still haven’t got that right.
Still this is a quality team and hopefully they can work it out. Jeet has to go for now though. Hopefully we can put up a better effort 2nd innings.
