*Official* Australia tour of New Zealand Feb-Mar 2024

[Moss]

The best part of this series is that surely even ****ing Stead can never pick SP for a Test match again

He’ll probably be swayed by the 44 saying it kept NZ in the game.

 

[OverratedSanity]

His best knock by miles tbh, he played some good ones in Pakistan but those don't compare to a pressure 4th innings chase

Still work to do though

The partnership with green in the third pak test is the other one I was thinking of.

Yeah those two knocks are underrated given that Naseem in particular was hooping the ball miles with reverse

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Full and straight... maybe his captain is not telling him that, but some other gibberish. Short, high and wide and these commentators say it's a good ball. There is no hope.

 

[Burgey]

**** I hate that rule. Should be at ump's discretion.

I mean he's tried full and straight quite a few times, they've all ended up leg stump half volleys that Cummins has scored off. In fact trying too hard for the wicket ball might be the problem here

The players need to hand out some tactical injuries to ensure he never plays again.

 

[Kraken]

henry has to come back on now, surely

Really weird that we brought in a rule for one bowler who didn't end up playing that long anyway and just left it there

 

[TheJediBrah]

How the **** was there a single there

So what's your suggestion then?

 

[Arachnodouche]

This one's cooked innit? Lyon's no mug either.

 

[Spark]

So what's your suggestion then?

Back of a length outside off, like usual. Make these two earn their runs. Horse might have bolted now though

 

[Burgey]

So what's your suggestion then?

To Cummins - channel with three, a gully and a fly slip

Agreed, seems to have been an execution thing, can happen under pressure. There’s definitely stuff to work with but he’s far from the finished article.

 

[Xix2565]

This has to be done now. At least to ensure Kuggeleijn never wins a Test.

 

[Anil]

This one is done and dusted, congrats Australia!

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

To Cummins - channel with three, a gully and a fly slip

He looks comfortable staying leg side and cutting those away on the ground.

 

[Burgey]

I don't blame him for replacing Phillips given there's so few to get, but must have been tempting to have him replace Sears.

 

[Sunil1z]

Congratulations Australia in advance . Although NZ are mental midgets against your side , not losing a Test in NZ for 30 years is incredible achievement.
