NZ v Australia Test #1
-
<p>the question is, who comes in? and what do they need to bring to the side?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Does one of the bowlers need to be dropped as well? Or do we stick with the same 11, and hope this whole game was just a really bad 4 days at the office. </p> -
<p>To blatantly steal something I read on facebook I wonder whether Mark Craig could be the next Mark Richardson ?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Unlikely, but some parallels are there. For all the shit he gets as a bowler ( from me amongst others ) you cant fault his dedication, determination and ability with the willow in hand.</p> -
<p>and they are both called 'Mark' and both have a 'c, r, a & i' in their surnames! </p>

<p>That's the most insightful thing I've ever seen you post about cricket, awesome work !</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I think the jury is still out whether or not he could competently front crappy home renovation tv shows though.</p> -

<p>I reckon you plagiarized that from someone who likes to think they know what they are talking about....don't worry, I am happy to concede I know cricket as well as you do rugby!</p> -

<p>Sorry you don't have any reviews left MN5, we are sticking with the onfield call</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> :fishing:</p> -
<p>I think I know as much as some of the "experts" who have made careers talking about it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>When the pressure is off and we're fucked beyond belief there really isn't a classier batsman on earth than our Tim although Boult is challenging him for that mantle.</p> -
<p>Weak and pathetic.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I reckon Henry must come in for Bracewell next game...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm sick of hearing that Doug "bowled much better than his figures suggest" ..... He spent most of the match bowling far too short for a bloke who only bowls 130km. Henry can bowl 145 and hurried up a number of the aussies in the ODIs.</p> -
It's February, clearly it's rugby season and the BCs have their eye on watching the Super 623 start....
-
<p>So among the BC's get a pass mark?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Openers delivered down to expectation.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nicholls was OK on debut I guess</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Craig batted well but leaked 150 runs.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Southee was Southee</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Bracewell was the medium pace version of Craig but slightly better with ball and slightly worse with bat</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Corey isn't a 6 on this form.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Boult's still broken</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Kane's form has dipped just when we need him most.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>BJ ditto</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Baz - looks like the right time to retire from the longer version</p>
