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

[King-Gutho94]

Baldie has never scored a test 50.

Is today the day.

Glenn Duckett Phillips reckons the kiwis can chase 400 no worries.

at least he's showed fight...

The Basin normally flattens out, remember Crowe's 299 and Baz 300 came in the second innings following big deficits - this one seems bouncier, and obviously the attack we're facing is pretty special... plus we're very deep in the test after only 2 days, Aust should have (IMO) enforced the follow on, they'd not bowled much, and shouldn't worry about chasing totals on this deck - and it wouldn't be 400 for them

Southee running in and bowling at 123kmph is a good reminder that a bowler should only be a test captain if they average below 24 lol.

 

[_snafu_]

Lyon is trolling the slip cordon.

Baldman playing the right way as a night watchman. The lead has just hit 250.

Not today and it may never arrive.

Aust just bossing the morning sessions

Bugger poor Lyon;

Anyway we should not have entertained Smith as an Opener.

Head should have moved to open Green come in at 4 with Smith at 3 Labs at 5.

 

[edabomb]

Kugg bowls like he's sending down 145km thunderbolts. From his weird thing at the top of his run to his crazy full body action, and the fact he sprays it everywhere. All that and he barely bowls faster than Gavin Larsen.

Its weird as we do give the Kiwis a 2hr head start to every day.

Nathan Lyon is a better 3 than Lauba.
Ian Chappell will be turning in his grave.

He reminds me a bit of Carl Rackenann. Except Rackemsnn was excellent, abd Kuggeleijn is just shit, shit, shit…. Again, how disrespectful to Wagner

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Is Wagner a sub fielder ? I saw some reel where he was cheered on. Is it this test?

Yep, he’s in the squad and has been sub

 

[JJ]

Bit of an Oozie brain fart there

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Head, Marsh and Carey need to bat like it's a test match not a warm up match to the ipl.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Haha they couldnt get the coverage off that bloke quick enough promoting SEN NZ a rival broadcast.

 

[JJ]

Lot to like about O’Rourke…

 

[AlwaysGreen]

4/113 @ lunch. Lead 317.

 

[Chins get the wins]

Head is a dumbmerkin.
