Black Caps v Australia

not only do we suck again, it's starting to de-legitimise that test championship. Aus didn't make the final thanks to a slow over rate penalty, and during the "league stage" they absolutely belted us. I totally get why they scoff at that win.

It's ours and they can't take it away. But make no mistake, if we faced them in the final instead of India, we would have got pumped

How good is Southee's batting?

fluffybunny never dies wondering.

Fuck sake. Southee opening the bowling.

That's self indulgence taken to the extreme.

Thanks for the 100 tests timmee (well the first 90 odd). Enjoy your retirement.

Well, it is easy to be awesome bowlers if you never get puffed. Get those over-rates up to the minimum, cheaters.

Him and Henry were absolutely putting your bowlers to the sword.

Inspirational stuff.

[No Quarter]

Henry getting it to seam a mile like Hazlewood. Should be an interesting battle.

[KiwiMurph]

Nice work Sears

Smith what the fuck was that

[dogmeat]

Go sears. Shudda opened

Better then his bowling currently

Least Smith is having no better time then Kane is run scoring wise

[MN5]

Sears. What a start. Keep going son !

[MN5]

So basically both batting line ups have guys out of form and are potentially brittle. Ours a bit more than theirs.

Unfortunately their bowling line up is considerably more awesome than ours overall.

Why bring Southee back when you've just had a drinks break and Henry & Sears are bowling well

Better ask the skipper 😀

[dogmeat]

Kuggeleijn to Green, 4 byes
Full and speared down the leg side, Blundell can't get there with a dive

[Virgil]

Skip is bowling well too
Consecutive 4s from Green

[Chris B.]

That was beautiful bowling to get Cam Green.

Hohoho! Marnus to find his form now and make a hundred. Nothing more Australian or guaranteed than that!

Pales in comparison with England robbing us of an ODI World Cup.

As @rapido says - run in faster you lazy fucks.

[KiwiPie]

Not sure which annoys me more. The Southee medium paced floaty half volley that gets driven for 4 or the medium paced long hop that gets pulled for 4.

Henry is mirroring Anderson nicely - used to be good only with the new ball but can deliver for the whole innings as he has got older.
