Cricket: NZ vs Aus

People criticising O'Keefe obviously never listened to him on the ABC. Laughing at his jokes is his schtick. There is absolutely nothing arrogant about it though. Heaps of his humour is self-depreciating. He will talk about how he is the least penetrative bowler in test history (has the highest ratio of wickets as catches).

With 15 runs he’s probably solidified his spot in the tests side for the next two years at least....
I don't think Raval would have got those runs.

Cummins is like McGrath but 5 - 10km faster. Very classy operator.

Our batsmen might look a bit better facing 20 km/h less...
That pace difference is a huge difference - but, these guys won't sustain express pace into their later spells.
It's vital that Kane and Latham stick it out here - take the shine off the ball and the sustain this initial burst, and we can settle in.

Despite the belief that NZ batsman can't handle 150kph, we do actually have fast bowlers in NZ who can bowl that, so NZ batsmen have had some practice.
I agree that we have those bowlers, but not a lot of experience facing that sort of pace on these sorts of wickets.
From both ends

Don’t get these commentators talking about Latham and his strike rate when Labuschagne and others were really low starting out.
-
Good bowling to Latham as they know he likes to come across with his front foot.
-
Ayyyeeeeee??????
-
Is that Tim Southee out there?

-
Truly awful shot given the circumstances. We need Ross to stand up again, our captain is letting us down this series.

Is it just me or is Kane a bit like Sachin?
Cracking player but goes missing when the heat is REALLY on?
He's played some really poor shots in one of our biggest ever test series. Not sure he's handling the pressure too well.
