<p>I like to think it's not all internet tough guyness and if we actually got together for a couple of drinks we'd have some Banshee style pub brawls.</p> -
<p>with guns and nympho Amish?</p>

<p>Fuck. I said before the world cup i thought Hazlewood might be better than McGrath. I was only half serious, but i wish the fluffybunny would stop trying to prove me right. </p>
-
<p>So, how about those All Blacks aye. The RWC was pretty sweeeeeeeet.</p>
-
<p>Time for batting all-rounder Craig to step up.</p>

<p>The Black Caps are probably in their best fast bowling period ever as a unit ( not withstanding Paddles and Bond ).....Australia aren't but they still have a unit which more than matches ours.</p> -
<p>Bird has been shit but Hazlewood is a very classy operator. Siddle is a known quantity but a very handy 3rd seamer. You chuck Starc in for Bird and you've got the makings of an all-time great opening combination.</p>

<p>more than matches? In a combined side i would take Hazlewood and Starc first, and then probably Boult, if he can prove his pace is back up. Otherwise Henry maybe on current form. </p> -

<p>Yeah you're probably right, still our boys haven't turned the arms over in this test yet.</p> -
<p>so after the ripper of a start, what is an acceptable 1st innings total?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>140? 150? 200?</p> -
<p>525/7 dec</p>

<p>450-500 isn't out of reach if these two really apply themselves. Craigs height is such an unbelievably good asset when he bats. Remarkable really .</p>
