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

[_snafu_]

There is a broken pixel in the screen.

 

[This Year?]

Silly mid off would have swallowed that.

It is when you get rolled for 160 and keep then right in the game. We had them demoralised instead we give them some hope and confidence.

Right in the game, lol.

 

[This Year?]

Is there nothing the boat can't do?

 

[Meth]

Broken pixels are pretty standard for these screens

 

[Meth]

Right in the game, lol.

we’re at least 100 runs out of this one and if we get within 150 runs, we can hold our head high(ish) and rue that second day

Some questions need to be addressed about day 2, Latham, Kuggeleijn and selections more generally

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Kan Kane Kause Kaos and Konquer this Khase?

 

[Meth]

Wading into the follow on debate, I believe this game would be over if they enforced follow on.

Australia still raging favourites, but they could be certainties and having a couple days off

 

[Meth]

It might seem obvious to point to the failure of the NZ batsmen as being the obvious reason for a looming loss, but that 10th wicket partnership between Green and Hazelwood, particularly on day 2, is where this match was (probably) lost. Just listless bowling, bereft of ideas to take a final wicket, despite having all night to hatch a plan.

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

Pet Cummuns unto the etteck

 

[Meth]

NZ are going to need all of their skill, but also more than their fair share of luck here.

 

[Meth]

Also, while I'm here, is Nathan Lyon the best night watchman of all time?

 

[hineyrulz]

Grow hair.

 

[mozza91]

Will Young looks like Dirt Nasty.

 

[Meth]

These are good runs here, providing they continue. NZ were pinned on their crease. Runs on the board and patience are the remedy.

 

[mave]

The round a bout getting a mention again.

It's become a tourist attraction.

lol as I was writing this, I thought to myself 'I bet they get a wicket now'

 

[Chins get the wins]

The motherf**king GOAT

 

[Meth]

That was a sensational ball from Lyon. The bounce surprised Williamson and the trap worked. Smart catch by Smith. Forgettable test from Williamson
