Off Season 2024/25

[Meth]

Very weird human. His commentating is cringeworthy.

Yeah, awful commentator. There for the goof factor

 

[Blair]

Some of you missed it by a few years but Danny was a revelation when he burst onto the test scene during '87/88 tour of Australia.

Hadlee wanted a genuine fast-bowling partner for years and there he was; young, nice action, brash like an Aussie, just perfect.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

He is paid to perform a role as a commentator and he fills that perfectly for the companies

Will always remember his hat trick in 94 v India

Plus, the whole '92 World Cup squad has a special place in our cricket history.

revelation is a bit strong? His career was a bit disappointing tbh, struggled to maintain consistency, and couldn't lead the attack... about 150 wickets at about 35?? Ultimately he couldn't build pressure, could be very good though

Morrison was a decent foil for Hadlee, but he was ultimately a journeyman.

He had more catches dropped off his bowling than any other player. He was badly let down by an average bunch of slips. I remember the 93/94 tour to Australia, Greatbatch & Rutherford dropped 7 catches across the 3 tests. 6 off Morrison & one off Murphy Su'a.

'Revelation' is over the top in the context of his career, which was disappointing, yes.

But in his first series he was. It was the pace, aggression and attitude. Even Allan Border mentioned it.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

This tour has been the biggest surprise in a few decades so far, has come out of nowhere

Unbelievable to be in this position when our number 1 spinner has bowled a bag of shit so far. Our batsmen look far more assured than theirs somehow, a 150 2nd innings here has us favourites but would love to bat well past that

 

[JJ]

Santner? Unbelievable

 

[Big Marn]

Santner? Unbelievable

didnt see that coming.

 

[JJ]

didnt see that coming.

Neither did the Indians

 

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

Im still 50/50 about this test.
300 is a good lead so far but India at home .........

 

[Meth]

100 more runs would be great.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Sir Mitchell Santner

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Sir Mitchell Santner

Kohli wicket very important.
200 runs for India to win.
5 wickets for NZ to win.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Kohli wicket very important.
200 runs for India to win.
5 wickets for NZ to win.

Get through this next partnership and we should be set

monster effort from Santner, bowling unchanged, great fielding for the run out and has been out patrolling the boundary too

 

[Philip_Smith007]

2 wickets to go.
Or 140 runs

 

[Beavers Headgear]

2012 the last time India lost a series at home

If we finish it off, I can’t really think of any better series wins in the last 30 years

 

[Philip_Smith007]

3 days to get a result!
