If you chumps ever agreed to a proper series rather than some 2 test farce....

I mean sure we’d be petrified by the outstanding batsmen of the day like Funch and Darsh but we would find a way

Finch is a dud but Marsh walks into your top 6 without a doubt.

As it stands it’d be a pretty close result. In a couple of months time we beat you for sure.

No thanks.

 

[JJ]

Marsh lol yeah right

 

[Meth]

To be honest, the only ones I'd take are Harris (over Raval) and Head (over CDG- who actually bats 7)

 

[Meth]

Great 50 Tom.

You can have our entire top 6 if you give us Williamson?

Aren’t you guys out her for Boxing Day for the first time in 30 years next year?

Yeah boy! That’ll be awesome

I’ve been waiting for NZ to be the main series of our summer for a long time. I have absolutely no idea why it’s been so long between drinks. I would love it to be a four or five test series.

CA will probably change their mind mid year and shift NZ to two tests in Darwin and Toowoomba in August and schedule a 9 match T20I series against India over the Christmas period.

Probably lol

Last series over there was petty competitive, just our brain fart following Long's full on brain shart cost us a drawn series

Lovely 50

 

[Meth]

Great 50! Now, let's see both of these guys kick on and score triple figures

Unfortunately competitive NZ doesn't bring in the crowds / revenue. Pretty sure the crowds were really bad last time

They don’t look amazing with dominant India either

We always play them very early in the summer before school holidays start.

Also the two cities with the biggest Kiwi expat populations are Melbourne and Sydney, where we never play them.

 

[Iafeta]

Viv Williamson looking good.

Raval must be belting the hell out of himself right now. It’s an epic 6 lane Australian style super highway.

Young for the next Test

 

[Meth]

Great session for NZ. 175/1 at Tea. Happy to just go along like this for the rest of the day- run rate has picked up a little recently and if we finished no more than 2/3 down at the end of the day with a lead of 50 or so, that'd be a great day.

A Williamson batting clinic in full flow here. Bloody good player.
