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

[Ibleedblue]

Massive start from Warner and Burns, Kiwis going at 6 an over.

Thought he hit that at first sound.

 

[shiznit]

Listening to it on the radio... They are making it sound like a deadset road...

I know it's been happening to the WACA awhile... But f**k me... the WACA used to be by far my favourite Aussie ground for test cricket...

:lol: Smashed that.

Good review

It is, terrible pitch.

Why didn't we get wickets like this in the 80's-90's against the Windies???? Bet AB wishes it :lol:

Most pitches in Australia are these days.

 

[Pete Cash]

It looks like the beach.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Mind you, NZ bowling pus.

 

[The Charlatan]

Not on digital?

They used to play at the WACA in late January when the pitch had baked.

Last 15 years it's in mid November to mid December so isn't baked hard.

Dunno, but with these shit pitches I am not sure test cricket is going to be much fun in Aust - hit through the line with freedom, and really hope you win the toss - even on roads batting second with 550+ on the board is soul destroying

 

[The Mad Hatter]

f**k you're a whinger.

Try stopping the easy singles and bowl decent lines.

No good for the development of our batsmen either. Our results away from home in the past 5 years or so have been unacceptable (SA aside) and they're still serving up highways.

The kiwi bowlers suck balls

So does Mccullums captaincy

 

[hineyrulz]

f**k me good pitch or what but how well is Warner seeing it???

Took 100 wickets against the Poms on them.

How hard is it to operate a sight screen?

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

How hard is it to operate a sight screen?

Is a NZ bowler operating it? They might be unsure where to put it.

Yep, extra pace is key - and you have that in spades - is what it is - but to me your recent performance in England and the subsequent whining about the pitches shows it's not good for your bat's techniques (and of course, touring teams seldom like the conditions they face)

We really are missing Boult, I am not sure who that fellow is claiming to be him - too soon after the stress fracture, I think
