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

Lets give the Don 2.0 some credit.

He puts a high value on his wicket unlike some road warriors.

He goes big on the scores and more importantly, long. He gets 180 - 280 not out. He cashes in big time unlike many who think the job is done at 50-100.

I am, I said that about 6 pages ago. The Don, Hoppa, Smiffy, all make their form count - they make the most of their luck when they get it and put big scores on the board

You're determined for the Hoppa nickname to catch on aren't you?:lol:

Oozie is still quicker then Hoppa JJ.

Not sure about that.

From the footage I saw, Oozie generously warmed up Zampa's oven before putting a bun in it.

Safe to say Khawaja has now entered the annals of cricketing history.

What is it with NZ not being able to compete with Australia at Test level? I've watched a lot of NZ's test cricket over the last couple of years to know you blokes are capable but when playing Australia they just can't step up. Must be a mental barrier for them as realistically this Australian team is not great.

not watching what did tons of fun have to say???

He's cranky. Umpire on Voges last night.

On the good side he's calling Cumming out on his incoherent crap as he is cranky.

Cumming's incoherent and lack of accurate knowledge does annoy a lot of viewers.

Certainly the way I see it - we will come back, but we freeze early.

A barrier, bit like Aust has in India - or you see in other sports. But the series in Australia tests 2 and 3 were close, we might hang on here, hopefully we can start better in Christchurch

Crying over Voges bruh

Fair enough to a degree, Don has played a great innings, but the reality is the umpire screwed up, and he shouldn't be here - it's huge, and it's cricket so I get it, but it is relevant to the state of the game - I mean the awfulness of M Marsh was there for all to see in his glorious 2 balls

NZ cricket commentators and the NZ dudes that commentate Warriors game in the NRL are 100 times worse than James Brayshaw
