1st Test: New Zealand v Australia at Wellington on Feb 12-16, 2016

[ANTiLAG]

We arent good enough to carry him at 6. Especially with that really long tail. When johnson was there or if we had both Starc and Pattinson maybe sure he can be there but siddle is next in lol

Team balance is so last century Pete.

High risk poor average return #6 batsmen in tests is the cool and new thing.

I blame the 2005 ashes.

 

[ANTiLAG]

I'll take Corey Anderson over M Marsh every day of the week - Neesham over them both

Talk of Boult's demise is premature - you still see the quality at times, it's there

A straight ball to get Khawaja and a freakish catch off a new batsman, both with the bew ball. I knew he can take amazing catches.

I may be overly negative, or you may be thinking wishfully.

He's got my hopes up that he could be back with that spell, but I am far from convinced.

Shot...

@Hiney is that why you never made it ?

Nah was never good enough, but I did give it away at 19 for 6 years. I'm happy to get on the park and play some indoor and some 50 over stuff in the winter.

 

[8Ball]

Bring in toyman? Only sensible decision

 

[jargan83]

25-26 degrees hot? Lol.

25-26 degrees hot? Lol.

Heatwave.

Cause the ball was new they should have sent nevill in at 6 to just dead the ball for a bit. Then marsh coukd have unleashed the levers

Can you just stop being sensibly logical and having good ideas that will never catch on or be tried in the next 20 years.

Bradman would reverse batting orders due to game conditions. You think you know as much as Bradman?

 

[Twatface Magee]

Lol Craig.

 

[jargan83]

Well batted Don Voges

 

[Hutty1986]

Incredibly fortunate but thats a bloody tough ton from Voges!

 

[ANTiLAG]

Craig's full toss had some over spin.

I suspected his release was looking like some had over spin.

Good to see he is working hard to try and improve.

Over spin works best if it pitches short and bounces, though Mark.

 

[hineyrulz]

Don Voges , the man is just too good. Even for the umpire.

 

[jargan83]

good 100 Mark Craig.

 

[hineyrulz]

good 100 Mark Craig.

Nice 100 from a nice bloke.

 

[JJ]

The Don should consider retiring after this series, then we can all reflect on his greatness

 

[Twatface Magee]

Jason Krejza > Mark Craig

 

[8Ball]

Flat track bully Voges flat tracking his way to 500 runs undismissed

 

[JJ]

The Don at 96.5 now, if only he could have scored some runs in the Ashes...

Unbelievable that numpties like Clarke, Quiney, Marsh kept the second greatest Australian batsman out of the Australian team
