Black Caps v Australia

@Damo said in Black Caps v Australia:

@MN5 I would probably have us behind at this point, with draw being most likely scenario.

If Monday is a washout, then we need to bat all day tomorrow and save this test to redeem the piss-poorness of yesterday!

It's a depressing insight into the annual life of a Wallabies fan.

It's eerily similar isn't it. Like the Wallabies they kill you by allowing you to hope, then snatching that hope away with a spineless capitulation that you never saw coming, though somehow at the same time you knew it was inevitable.

And as an Aussie fan you have this confidence that no matter the jam they get into, they will somehow find their way out.

The sad thing is I only get to enjoy this twice every four years, where you guys get it 3-4 times every year!

In a few summers of junior cricket I've yet to see kids collide with each other while running between the wickets. The Craps have managed it twice since Christmas...

Another drop from Southee

The only thing Southee doesn't drop is himself.....

GP to captain, coach and run the drinks?

Yeah I need a new favourite Black Cap. He’s making a massive claim now that Wags has gone

Phillips goes bang, bang and Head and Mitchmarsh are back in the hut.

127/6 - but, 331 ahead and the horse's hooves can barely be heard pouding up the road!

[Chris B.]

139/7 - Phillips gets Carey, nice catch byTimmy!

[Damo]

The collapse is on. As predicted.

We just need to roll through the bowlers and get our batsman to bat their averages.

It's all happening.

@Damo Love it. But we have to negotiate Lyon... and we appear unable to play spin

I hear you but Kane is due a big innings and just need one or two to bat around him.

A batsman who can bowl spin as well as he can will be a massive addition down the line. With Ravindra at the other end you can actually see how Santner was surplus to requirements….

[Chris B.]

Phillips gets green at bat-pad and has 5/38.

146/8

[LABCAT]

Damm, almost had a sixth.

[Chris B.]

Kugeleijn drops Cummins - makes a bollocks of one in the outfield!

[Donsteppa]

Scott K is such a nothing selection at Test level.

[Donsteppa]

The fielding coach (if any) should be fired into the sun. Along with half the team.

[Damo]

I don't know if it has been mentioned but our dropped catches are really costly.

Rolling the dice at quite long odds.

He might bowl wicket taking deliveries and he might score quick runs, but he's unlikely to do either consistently.

Now Nicholls is on the park and drops another!

Our catching is fucking appalling.

[Gunner]

Henry Nicholls fuck right off!
Absolutely atrocious.

So true. That was shithouse
