<p>Are we the Ireland rugby team of cricket?</p>

<p>Well we used to be Scotland so that's an improvement</p> -
<p>wouldn't we be more like Aus. given neither Ireland or Scotland have beaten the ABs' and Wallabies do so from time to time also, as have the Black Caps, we look shit hot against most other teams but when the heat comes on and it matters, neither the Wallabies or BCs can make that next step.</p>

<p>No that's a really dumb analogy, the Wallabies have won the WC twice. Black Caps never have.</p> -

<p>We are France! Made it to WC final, never won the thing. Can look sublime and ridiculous within two games!</p>

<p>Flair and misfortune!!</p>

<p>I've always thought Pakistan and France were the most comparable.....volatile brilliant players who can smash the best but also get a hiding from the worst.</p>

<p>Standing by for a "like" from TR in 3......2.......1......</p>
<p> </p>
<p>They haven't won it twice so that makes my argument basically foolproof.</p> -

<p>I've never claimed or pretended I know a lot about cricket, I am simply a BC fan, below them I know buggar all about our domestic scene and players.</p>

<p>Sounds like me with Super Rugby now I basically can't be arsed watching it like I used to.</p>

<p>Williamson bringing up 50 in the first over. Well done young fella but there's still a LOOOOOONNNNGGGGG way to go.</p> -

<div>
<p>So what are peoples opinions on Henry Nicholls? One 50 which was a bit streaky and 3 failures. Does he get another shot in the next test series behind Williamson and Taylor at 5 or do we try someone else?</p>

<p>I reckon his technique is suspect but you have to keep picking him for a little bit.</p> -

<p>Oh ya big meanie!!!</p> -
The LBW that Kane successfully reviewed was a very poor decision. Bat involved and outside the line of off stump. The umpire should not be giving it out unless he is sure.<br><br>
Now Aus waste their review on an LBW that Corey inside edged onto his pads. Phew.<br><br>
Some very testing bowling in amoungst all of that though.
