I agree with you.

Except I reckon he could get an arsey 100 like Sehwag and as he does in odi if he tried often enough.

Sehwag was high quality, they're not even a comparison

Guptill goes, just useless

 

[_snafu_]

Guptill

His luck had to run out sooner or later.

Plenty better than Anderson IMO, obviously Nicholls will be the one to immediately replace Baz. Like your selectors, they have a fetish with all-rounders, Neesham has been the best of them, but can't bowl at the moment

Its like the 2005 Ashes series was the wh cricket should be played, how about just picking your best 6 batsman, your best keeper and then your best 4 bowlers???

There are not many blokes good enough to bat in the top 6 and then be a strong bowling option. Those guys are like gold and very rare.

 

[vvvrulz]

I would have had Watling 6, Craig 7, no pie man.
But happy to finally see our best four seamers picked

 

[hineyrulz]

Latham having some luck now.

 

[Pete Cash]

Big advantage for Australia... shame, should be our turn :lol:

Toss really seems to be a huge advantage pretty much everywhere at the moment - I don't think McCullum has won a single one in tests against Australia this season... one does wonder if Australia flatters to deceive

You won the toss at adelaide

 

[hineyrulz]

Kiwis should be happy with the first hour, this time last test you were 5 down.

 

[hineyrulz]

Screamer!!! Smiffy you genius.


Terrible shot after Latham does the hard yards again.

That Smith bloke, pity he can't catch..

 

[Iafeta]

Tom Latham. My God son, you do it time and time again, bat for a while and then play a horribly loose shot and get yourself out. I'm not sure you will ever deliver on your potential simply because you are mentally weak.

 

[hineyrulz]

That Smith bloke, pity he can't catch..

Yeah he's a very average fielder

 

[hineyrulz]

This is great stuff, two world class cricketers going toe to toe.

This is test cricket.

 

[JJ]

Great catch, but anpther brain fade from Tom

Aussies desperate to get Williamson, should be fined for excessive appealing

Seriously though, they're really intense and it's clear he's their sole focus

 

[Pete Cash]

Latham is so talented but hed do better in the australian system where he wasnt thrown into test cricket before he is clearly ready. His placement is terrible so he just has to eat up pressure from the bowlers

TBH we don't have a system - so that would apply to all our players

 

[Pete Cash]

I think being chucked in the deep end helped williamson. Im not sure if it will help latham who has slightly different issues

 

[hineyrulz]

Latham has to learn to rotate the strike better, you could tell he was getting frustrated and a dumb shot was never far away.

It's hard to have sympathy when we asked for these conditions.
