1st Test: Australia v New Zealand at Brisbane on Nov 5-9, 2015

So much for all those morons saying the pitch was a flat track and calling for the curator to be sacked:lol:

As soon as Bunniesman tried passing off others opinions as his own it changed. Never heard of anybody who's as wrong about everything as he is. Its a gift.

Hopefully the Windies get here soon so we can have a contest.

 

[chigurh]

Good opportunity for Starc to just attack now

 

[Bgoodorgoodatit]

C'mon NZ. Tickets to the box tomorrow... At least hang in there till then...:crazy:

 

[hineyrulz]

Sanity prevails!!

I spied Taylor having a coffee with cricket guru and genius John Buchanan in the city on Monday, and Buck was doing all the talking :lol: can't be good for your thought process.

Bump!!! Chatting to Buck did him wonders :lol:

As Michael Holding would say, "Bring it on, mahn!"

Sometimes I hate it when I'm right.

McCullum again shows why being the captain doesn't make someone a leader.

The pitch is irrelevant, the difference between the teams is bowling pace and batting discipline.

:lol:

Kudos to CA for booking them in on Boxing Day.

 

[madunit]

I'm just disappointed by the Kiwis. Expected them to perform a lot better.

This is just sad.

They're playing like a T20 side in a test match against an ODI side.

 

[hineyrulz]

Nice 50 from Kane Bradmanson.

 

[hineyrulz]

Williamson looks about 5 rungs above his plodder teammates.

He's world class

Yep. We've been found out.

 

[Pete Cash]

He is very good. I think we could have tested him better. I really think we bowled too short to him when he came out and he is quite comfortable on the back foot imo. Try and drag him forward driving on the up.

Still a good performance by the quicks.

 

[madunit]

Tbh the ordinary batting made our bowlers look better.

 

[Rod]

All that McCullum sledging before the match is reminiscent of Graeme Smith. Lets hope he doesn't turn out like that

McCullum didn't do any sledging before the match.

I wouldn't go as far as to say we've been found out, we've always struggled against quick bowling and this was always going to be a tough ask. However we also seem to get better as tours progress and have shown in the recent past that we can fight back just when everyone is starting to take the piss out of us.

Not saying it's going to happen but we do have some form in that respect. Aussie have been a class above so far though obviously,

 

[TheParraboy]

This is just embarrassing. I think I am happy this will only be a 3 test series now...

thank Christ the kiwis downgraded their home test series to 2, its all about winning the chappell hadlee series for them lol

Hopefully the Windies get here soon so we can have a contest.

:lol:

 

[Snappy]

You must have missed where he called the Australian Captain immature for the way he handled an incident in England

 

[Rod]

He said that stuff 6 months ago. Hardly pre-match sledging.

The media did a good job of bringing it up again and making everyone think that though.

He wrote an article in an English tabloid in September, about a month before the kiwis began their tour here

Kane Williamson is a beast
