1st Test: New Zealand v Australia @ Basin Reserve Wellington Feb 29 - Mar 4, 2024

[_snafu_]

Run outs are similar to tries from kicks they don't really count. So they aren't going too bad NZ.

Would have been not out if the pitch was 12 yards.

I’ll never forget the game Manly put 40 on us in the first half And I think in the second it was about 12-12 all and he said how proud he was of the Lads for fighting back.

After that Presser the only fan he had left was @Poupou Escobar

Haha tagging Pou into the cricket thread is as funny as the Kane runout

This is a bit of a thing The Grade Cricketer podcast has going. They were running a promo for it.

It's essentially a pisstake on the Pommy sports fans putting their soccer team on the English flag, and also pisstaking AFL fans wearing their singlets overseas.

If I had a dollar for every time I've conceded tries from kicks walking down the street, I'd be as rich as PB.

Just watching a reply of the run out - almost as if Young was trying to shoulder charge him lmao

Its a shame its a rivalry that's a bit untapped in test cricket atm with hard-fought competitive test cricket atm.

I remember the 2001/02 series in Australia as a kid and the Kiwis took it too us and we had to settle for 0-all draw.

It was one of the only series we couldn't win at home under Steve Waugh.

The test match in Perth Warnie got out for 99 the Kiwis were the dominant side.

And the test at the Gabba that finished at midnight they fell 10 runs short with 5 wickets left.

Bazball era they would have won it.

Then the Tri-Series we couldnt beat the Kiwis at all in the 4 matches either when Bond ripped us apart.

While I agree the recent teams have probably been our best, Aust has monstered them. In contrast the Coney Hadlee teams were better than Aust, and Flem’s teams as you note at least competed

Bluddy shet ked.

 

[Haffa]

Comms curse there.

 

[Bazal]

Lol Mitchell completely thought out by a basic obvious maneuver

 

[Haffa]

Hopefully the Aussies decline the follow on so we can see some weekend cricket

 

[This Year?]

When it's not your day.
What a f**ked way to get out.

 

[Bazal]

Holy shiiiiiiiiit this is brutal.

NZ look like the fifth graders filling in for ones cos the whole team is in Bali for the skippers wedding

 

[_snafu_]

Nice Quiney.

Plus Southampton and New Orleans.

High hopes for NZ. They are a good cricket team but they go to pieces against us.

Really need a positive rearguard here. Capable players at the crease.
