    *Official* New Zealand in Australia 2019/20

    Like how Latham was given out even though obvs sliding down leg yet Burns looked plumb af and not given. There's been terrible umpiring across this whole series to both teams to be honest. They should really do away with umpires call/soft signal for anything except LBW. That CdG dismissal in...

    Would take Morrison over O'Keeffe any day of the week.

    Man I wanna see this, any other context?

    Don't hate it, he bowled pretty well especially on Day 1 of the Boxing Day Test, but just lacked wickets with the new ball, not that Henry has done much to alleviate this. All hail Lord Colin.

    Have just landed in Melbourne. Absolutely fizzing. Merry Xmas lads. Here's our Boxing Day Preview Podcast if you're that way inclined. https://insidetheboxcricket.podbean.com/e/episode-10-paul-hockin-24-dec-19/

    DoG's Top 100 Test Batsmen Countdown Thread

    Really surprised that Kane is below Root in this. Be interesting to see where they finish up at the end of their careers.

    That's just for Boxing Day supposedly. We got our tickets for the first 4 days and apparently the kiwi fan zone is sold out for the first 3 days.

    Poor man's CDG. Still love him though, best ODI innings I've ever seen.

    *Official* New Zealand in Australia 2019/20

    The other punishing thing on commentary was how the Aussie commentators kept going on about Starc and Cummins being 15kph faster than Wagner and Southee and so it was going to be harder for NZ to face bouncers blah blah blah. But as Ian Smith pointed at some point, the problem with Wagner is not...

    Those commentators must be on a different network to what we got in NZ. Honestly don't know how people put up with Kerry O'Keeffe - bloke is an absolute punisher who isn't that funny. Also Mark Waugh is horrendously bad which makes me sad as he was one of my favourite players growing up...

    *Official* New Zealand in Australia 2019/20

    I'm still way more stoked after the first 2 days of this tour than I was after the first 2 days of our 2015 tour. And to be honest, most of this test has been exhilarating to watch. Much better than the snoozefest of Aus vs Pak and NZ vs Eng. Honestly wouldn't be surprised at some point down...

    Inside the Box Podcast - New Season 2019-20

    Back again for another season talking about all things cricket (mostly focussed on New Zealand). First episode is out with Fynn Hudson-Prentice of Derbyshire who is over in NZ playing some club cricket in the off season...

    Probably will make a dedicated thread, but we preview the Aus NZ series in our latest podcast: https://insidetheboxcricket.podbean.com/e/episode-9-fynn-hudson-prentice-11-dec-19/

    Idk if it's comparable tbh, Ferguson has heaps of experience in international cricket including making his ODI debut in Australia (and getting Warner out first over) so I think he would adjust a lot quicker than the Pakistanis.

    *Official* New Zealand in Australia 2019/20

    His T20 debut was against South Africa and he did look all at sea there. However, he's an extremely strong back foot player so don't see any reason why he couldn't adapt to Australia wickets pretty quickly.

    Think Perth we are more likely to see Southee/Wagner/Boult just because of the pink ball. Hoping MCG/SCG is Ferguson/Wagner/Boult.

    Supposedly Boult was bowling in the nets today in Hamilton. Good signs. Just really hope CdG's injury isn't as bad as it's been described.

    There's a warm up game for NZ vs Victoria in between the 1st and 2nd test I believe.

    Am starting to think like this too, regardless of how dominant NZ have been lately.

    CW Decides The XI of the Decade

    It's not too far from the truth surely, he was bowling consistently 150-154 in that spell, including the one that broke BMac's bat was 154.8. Given yorkers always measure quicker I'm far more inclined to believe that 160 was accurate.
