*Official* New Zealand in Australia 2019/20

[vandem]

I've seen Javed Miandad run out Jeff Crowe from second slip while he was being dozey during and LBW appeal, should that have been a stumping?

Needs to be the keeper to be a stumping, as above.

I recall Shane Thomson in a test in SA, forward defensive to short cover (Cronje?), Thomson held the pose, didn't slide his foot back over the line, fielder either walked in and knocked bails off, or walked a couple of steps and softly underarmed and knocked down bails (I can't recall which). Thomson not attempting a run but hadn't regained crease, and ball not dead = run out.

 

[Gnske]

That's an amazing single given Phillips was almost running dudes out trying similar tight runs previous.

Good mojo.

NZ highest partnership this series has been 76 - Williamson/Taylor in Perth.

Pretty amazing they'll prob go a full series without even getting close to a century partnership; even Pakistan managed it a few times in their 2 Test series.

 

[Spark]

Thanks for showing the ruling. So if Henry took an additional step forward after hitting the ball and then went back, hed be runout since he was attempting a run.

Yep, basically.

Bring on Somers.

It's probably the most notable thing from this series really. Our bowling has been average outside of Wagner. It's been poor but rarely have Australia wholly just ran away with the game with bat in hand as they can do in a few previous tours.

But our batting? Absolutely didn't show up. On paper touring pretty much anywhere else in the world against the same opposition, NZ score more runs than Australia. Here we've been totally gormless.

As the big pink "R" drifts serenely across the ground...

 

[Starfighter]

You can't run leg byes for that you nongs.

 

[Burgey]

O'Keeffe laughing like an idiot at everything is a close second for worst commentator.

Mate, you have us Danny ****ing Morrison ffs. You can have this every day til 1 July and you’re still a mile in front.

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

In terms of a 200 plus run lead in 3 consecutive Tests in a series, I can't think of another time Australia has done this in a series off the top of my head.

Even against as bad a side as the West Indies in 00/01, Australia only managed it twice in a 5 Test series.

Actually, just found middle 3 Tests of 02/03 Ashes when Australia did it.

India copped some absolute hammerings in England and Australia in the dark days of 2011-12.

Best two test series ever IMO.

 

[Pothas]

At least New Zealand get to go home now. If this was England we would have two more Tests to get through.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Best two test series ever IMO.

Both those series actually started off relatively competitively. But at some point in the 2nd test it just fell apart as badly as you could hope.

 

[vcs]

We were absolutely crushed in all four Tests in England. Only the Melbourne loss was "respectable". A much less experienced team fared much better in the 2014 away cycle.

 

[OverratedSanity]

At Trentbridge India were actually in a pretty dominant position before the Broad hattrick ruined everything

 

[morgieb]

It's fun to compare Aussie's opinions of Kerry with non-Aussie ones. I actually think he's one of our best commentators, but yeah he can get really indulgent if he's with the wrong team.

Never forget that attempted ""cover drive"" by Dhoni in the middle of that collapse/hattrick.

Would that series count given that the second and third Tests England batted first?

Don't think batting on was a great decision given there isn't much time left in the game and tomorrow might see rain interruptions.
