2nd Test: Australia v New Zealand at Perth on Nov 13-17, 2015

[Red Bear]

ALthough Hazlewood is just putting it in the slot today, Taylor just belting everything. Good aggressive cricket from the Kiwi's

 

[Meth]

Either Taylor needs to go for it, or Southee and Boult need to curb their enthusiasm. I think it'll likely be the former.

 

[hineyrulz]

Starc knocks over Henry. 8 down.

 

[Hutty1986]

Hazlewood continues to get absolutely pumped

 

[Pete Cash]

Haze has talent but he has a few flaws. Especially on a flat pitch. He angles the ball quite sharply into the right handed batsman and ends up too straight

Hazlewood continues to get absolutely pumped

Definitely the worst bowler in International cricket :sarcasm:

 

[Pete Cash]

He isnt even the worst bowler in the side tbh. Johnson is awful atm. The pitch is shameful though.

Did someone say he was? He hasn't been nearly as consistent as he needs to be, and it's showing in his run rate. Starc was good in patches yesterday but there's no one to stem the tide of runs, and why Australia has gone from massive favourites to NZ now taking the lead.

It used to be Mark Craig (after 1 game)?so I assumed that Hazelwood or Johnson had taken over after this 1.

 

[BunniesMan]

Johnson is bowling absolute trash. And he doesn't look like he cares.

Also it's good of the plodder Ross Taylor to hang around while Southee leads them to a match winning total.

 

[Meth]

Was that lazy from Hazelwood? Or is he hurt?

Kidding. His problem IS his consistency. On a track that's about as lively as a seniors book club, consistency is tantamount to predictability. The batsmen know exactly what they're going to get because his usual weapon is movement off the seam and extra bounce....he'd basically have to take a jackhammer to this wicket to get either. He's bowled as well as the surface allows him to. Tough to stem the tide of runs on tarmac.

Small lead now - will be interesting if/when Taylor gets closer to 300 to see his attitude. Such a different circumstance to when BMac got his.

 

[Pete Cash]

This is way more depressing for me personally than when england dicked us. I could admire broads spell. It was great cricket. This is just the worst. Shameful by the waca staff.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

At this rate Johnson would get to 200.

 

[Jason Maher]

Cause Brayshaw is a f**king Victorian, more geniused than most Victorians even.

f**k I hate Victorians

Thought he was South Australian? Absolute pelican, wherever he'# from.

Totally different circumstances. McCullum could have batted forever as far as we were concerned.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Brayshaw's originally from WA.

 

[Pete Cash]

Starc has put in a superhuman effort tbh

 

[Red Bear]

Western Aus I think
