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

[Mr. Shaman]

The circle jerk of GOAT haters on here are embarrassing

Greatest spinner in cricket history who isn’t a fat Victorian shit bloke

Baldie now has 8 wickets and 46 runs for the match.

Sneaky MOM over Green? I think he will be if he gets a 10f.

f**k no. I have money on Green.

We gave Ravindra the Damien Martyn v Kiwis treatment.

Was just going to say that, just dared him to keep playing it, and like Martin he did…

 

[Fangs]

f**k no. I have money on Green.

Touch some wood.

Lyon is firming just look at that bounce.

 

[Fangs]

Make a game of it you sheep shaggers the footy isn't on until 1.30pm.

It's an interesting one but that green innings was so important to the result of this test, NZ were on top to that point.

Gary probably needs 7+ wickets in this innings but as I say that he gets his fifth

Whatever merkins make these type of decisions always favour the batsmen.

lol yeah nah…

and Green is MoM by a margin, Lyon doing exactly what he should on this deck. NZ pretty stupid not having Ajaz there, and picking Kuggeleijn ahead of Santner (Ajaz’s absence is ridiculous tbh)

 

[King-Gutho94]

Well this has escalated quickly.

3 wickets in about 20 mins and the game is as good as done.

Green's innings was easily the best of any bat in the match so far. Lyon looks likely for 7 or 8 right now.

They still do joint MOM? Mozza will be pissed when sportsbet refuses his refund.

 

[JJ]

As a Kiwi, I feel I must apologise for the commentary team, and our day 2 performance

I tend to agree but what if Lyon gets 9 here and 13 total for the match and top scorer 2nd innings to boot?

Or are we saying there is nothing he can do to surpass Green?

The Predator starts playing cricket when NZ's chance of winning is 0.001%

 

[mozza91]

We’re all missing the 3rd option. National hero and all round nice guy Scott Kuta Lines whacks an unbeaten 150 to guide NZ to a famous victory.

Green scored 100 more than anyone else, and alone more than either team managed (so far) in the other three innings. Glenn Phillips took a 5 for…. But Lyon has been a big factor, no mistake. To me it’s clear, but hopefully it’s not decided by rhe buffooons in commentary or they might give it to Carey for keeping well

0.001? Shit you’re a positive fella

Thinks attack is the best form of defence, thinks “no, no, no” is “ yes, yes, yes”

Green was dropped on 21. If NZ holds that it is a different game.

I think that gets MoTM outside of a NZ miracle win

 

[Fangs]

Greeny now has a wicket. That wraps up his MOM.

Baldie will have to wait for test two.
