I'm pretty sure NZ hasn't played a test in Oz since 1985
NZ played a 3 test series in Australia in 2019/20
I have no memory of this. I think you may be hallucinating @Chris

hahah. We have to cop it.
Reality is they are better than we were. If we'd played them a year before, we would have really run them close - but with Smith and others back to prove a point, we just struggled to make the key breakthrough. Wags (and others) induced edges and spoons that just didn't go to hand in the first test ... and then they got away, we faced the pink ball, Ferguson got injured and the wheels fell off.
The mental toughness I see in the team just wasn't there against Aus. it's really weird - we have a mental block or something.

Yeah I agree that mental block v Australia is really evident.
It is talked about in Australian cricket circles how NZ are beaten before they play.We need to over come that to beat Australia consistently,it is a reverse of the Trans Ta$man Rugby rivalry
Frustrating as a kiwi. -

out of curiosity how many of those 35 home tests are not India or England? Maybe 5?
17 v Eng and Ind.
Three vs us which are better forgotten
They could have come from anywhere ...

Yeah you have to tag him these days to get his attention. It’s like he has a life outside the fern or something.

So any chance Pakistan will be any more competitive second time round ?
That Aussie team looks incredibly settled and chock full of class players.
If you’re picking an ANZAC team I’m not sure how many kiwis would actually make it. KW walks in, Conway and Mitchell SHOULD get in but neither are givens. Does Latham sneak ahead of Warner possibly given both are kinda home track bullies ? I’d pick Blundell ahead of Carey…..but as for the bowlers……is Jamieson slowly getting found out after a sensational start to his test career ?
Over to you @NTA

@MN5 look, son, NOBODY from your bowling lineup makes it. Not even the bench.
Starc
Hazlewood
Cummins
LyonNot even remotely up for discussion.
KW at 3 in place of Labiashame.
Maybe he moves up to replace Warner.
Other than that? Struggling to see a better option.
