Wow what a line up.
It’ll be a miracle if we don’t lose by an innings.
Ian Smith or Gary Stead must have been close to strapping on the pads.
I think Peter Fulton would have been more likely, but damn that's an unlikely team. Hope they win, that would be awesome and hilarious.
-
We're paying $14 to win, $5 to draw - if anyone wants a piece of that.
Oz at $1.20 to win is pretty easy money, unless there's a lot of rain coming.
If Timmy is knackered then there's not much point playing him. Matt Henry will need to bowl a lot of overs and there's not that much between Tim and Matt.
-
We really needed about 4 early wickets if we want to keep this within an innings defeat.

There's a lot of difference in terms of experience and test record. I also just feel sorry for Southee who missed out on captaincy due to Christchurch.

When we bat at the moment you feel that if Williamson gets out cheaply, someone else will make runs. In this game, if Taylor or Latham go cheaply we could struggle to get to 150.

Phew, lucky it wasn't Wags' rostered test off.
The Southee omission gives another frown about this team management. Been a few frowns lately
Only increases the doubts about Stead's management
how he resurrects us mentally after this utter destruction will be the real test.

@hydro11 Yeah - but, not enough difference between them these days that if Tim's really only got one decent spell in him that you'd go with him. Maybe if the ball was expected to really hoop around.
Tim looked pretty knackered to me in the latter stages in Melbourne - and it's not like Henry is an international rookie.
One good thing about this test is that we will find out a bit about our next tier of players - there's certainly a chance for some of them to make a statement, if they're good enough.

The only thing you can do is write it off as a lesson. Australia were excellent and showed our weaknesses. We are okay against most sides but Straya at home not so much

@canefan It's a curious situation because Stead must get fair praise for being in charge of beating the pakis at home and the world cup.
I suspect there's a few cooks spoiling this current broth
I'm not sure he provides Kane with sufficient guidance. At his worst he is a pretty ponderous captain, and his team choices (Mitch) lack
-
The Park Cricketer does what he does, and nicks out Burns, who must have just watched his career head to first slip.
