1st Test D/N: Australia v NZ at Perth, Dec 12-16 2019

[Wizardman]

A collapse here is still on.

I have no trust in our lower order

Me neither...this partnership determines whether we have a clean win or a battle for the next three days...crucial.

 

[undertaker]

Labuschagne still has a chance in the next innings to become only one of 4 batsmen in test cricket to score centuries in 4 consecutive innings.

 

[hineyrulz]

Zaheer Abbas and Musassar Nazar

Abba’s could play a cover drive.

 

[Meth]

Wagner has picked up Smith, Warner and the in-form Lab. Not bad

 

[Wizardman]

I think you do now...the toss, the weather, a bowler down, runs on the board

Your boys have some ticker though....no surprise from a national NZ sporting team though.

 

[Meth]

Mark Waugh reckons NZ are “well behind in this game”. You’d think Australia were 500/5

 

[Hutty1986]

Head overdue for his usual soft dismissal I'd reckon. Paine really needs to step up for once here.

 

[Meth]

yeah, they’re battling.

unfortunately Raval is a walking wicket and these guys are going to be stuffed this afternoon

 

[undertaker]

Although I don't have much confidence in this happening, ideally Australia need to bat until at least near the end of the 2nd session and have Starc/Cummins/Hazlewood bowling under lights.

 

[Meth]

I bloody love it when Isa Guha is on. Second only to Bumble

 

[Wizardman]

I disagree with substitutes in cricket. If you are hurt and cannot continue, you have to go a man down.

 

[hineyrulz]

No run there.

dodges a bullet.

 

[Meth]

Nicholls botched it there. Head was determined to run himself out

 

[Bazal]

I bloody love it when Isa Guha is on. Second only to Bumble

Can't believe people whinge about her. A class above the rest of the team

 

[hineyrulz]

Can't believe people whinge about her. A class above the rest of the team

She’s great, knows her cricket and sounds great as well.

 

[Meth]

people whinge about her?

 

[hineyrulz]

Another over from Wagner, respect.

 

[Bazal]

people whinge about her?

I think there was even a bit earlier in this thread tbh.

I cbf looking though. Plenty of folks (not necessarily on here) go straight to the old 'diversity pick' boomer bullshit though.

 

[TheParraboy]

This partnership crucial, we dont want our bowlers out there batting for any period of time

there are some straight up diversity picks. NZ’s female commentators options are awful. But Guha is class and her gender has nothing to do with that. A refreshing change from Warne, Healy etc
