2nd Test: New Zealand v Australia @ Hagley Oval Christchurch Mar 8-12, 2024

[JJ]

Well the quartet have never won a test series on the road when playing together. Quite incredible really

Pakistan in 2022 - Haze was dropped after the drawn 1st test and didnt play the rest of the series. Swepson came in for the final 2 games which we won.

We haven't won another series on the road since NZ - 2016 - Starc & Cummins weren't there.

Haze didnt even play in the WTC Final.

staggered by that - but that box will be ticked soon...

Aust hasn't been great away from home, so touring NZ occasionally is useful for that, I guess

I am happy with Williamson burning reviews, but not this merkin

Should replace Kuta Lines with the inanimate carbon rod.

guess it wasn't the worst, but wtf is that merkin in the team for - Go Australia, teach these f**ktard selectors and captain a lesson

Remind me why NZ think this halfwit should be playing Test Cricket ahead of a farewell series for a warrior in Neil Wagner.

 

[mave]

These merkins better make this test last until 4pm Sunday AEST.

 

[mozza91]

Bring bring the Windies back we need some competition.

 

[_snafu_]

Why are NZ playing this like it's a T20?

it's unbelievable

As is how much we're overawed when we play you... it's embarrassing tbh, you are a better team, but not this much

 

[edabomb]

And to think they used batting as a point of difference for The Predator over Wagner.

LOL

 

[This Year?]

Time for some short stuff to get NZ to a tricky low total.

 

[This Year?]

The sound was the bat handle hitting the elbow guard.

 

[JJ]

Now they’re taking the piss

 

[AlwaysGreen]

New Zealand Knights.

[Meth]

Genius from NZ, who obviously just want to bowl on this day 1 pitch

 

[JJ]

f**k me, after the batting I though “this can’t get worse”, then Scottie Stevenson starts commenting, soon they’ll cross to Tito in the crowd…

 

[edabomb]

Henry opening in the second dig?

The thing that makes Tito more awkward is how nobody on the comm team ever acknowledges his existence. So odd.

LOL how don't you have a full slip cordon when they're 8/114
