Well, file this in your memory bank and read it again after the series if you wish
I’m the first to jump on our buggers when we stink up the joint... which we often do.

but I do think that we’ve never really had a Batsman as good as Kane and a line up as good with Latham, Kane, Rosco, Nicholls & Watling all able to go big on any given day.

Smiffy will be filthy he hasnt converted four or five 50+ scores in a row into centuries. Was really hoping he'd get his welcome home ton today after his insane suspension.
Solid fifty to Paine, very useful runs
Mate... he might not have got a 100...

but his knock in this innings was better than Warner’s 300 vs Pakistan IMO...

A hell of a display of guts against a disciplined attack not giving him an inch.

Real test cricket IMO...

You could tell when he got out there yesterday, it was just classic Smith. The shuffles and over-exaggerated leaves and calls. He was ready to go. Amazing powers of concentration

Oh, I think Kane and Taylor are probably 1 and 2 as far as batsmen go. And our bowling unit is pretty good- great when they're on song. Southee's a bit past it now as far as being a genuine strike bowler. We're really missing what they hoped Ferguson might be.

NZ's bowling was at its best when both Boult and Southee could take a wicket bowling in tandem.

That's the thing about Australia- they get Starc at you from one end and then Cummins from the other. Then they bring on Hazelwood. There's an injury and they bring in Pattinson. There's no respite.
