Lightning Blue Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 The Black caps are back in action (or inaction ) depending how you loo at it. How's the ground scenery ? a place with no grandstand and looks like a scenic place from days gone by. very nice. The Aussies can have a picnic on the outer while fielding today 😁🏏😎🍻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hesi Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Blackcaps going a lot better than quite a few thought. At least it makes day 3 and 4 into a match for you Rusty If they can manage to eke out another 200-250 they are in with a good chance, the Aus batting line up has not been in usual form and most importantly has not been put under pressure this series 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Just have to bat, and bat, and bat, and bat. But easier said than done against this aussie bowling outfit. Forming lengthy partnerships will be key on Day 3 and perhaps targeting the bowling of Marsh and Green may be the key here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hesi Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 A well-deserved victory to Aus, showing even though several of their batsmen were out of form, the mental hardness needed to win at test cricket, and the reason why it is called a 'test' Full credit though to NZ, firstly for scoring 372 in the second innings to make a game of it, and also for putting Aussie to the test with their bowlers in the chase for 279. For NZ, they have blooded 2 new players in the hardest arena of all, in Ravindra and Sears. they will be both so much better for it. Test cricket was the winner really, after the 'kiss your sister' experience of the South Africans. A break now till June, when we get a full month of T20 World Cup, with 20 teams competing at 6 grounds in the West Indes and 3 in USA (New York, Texas and Florida) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mardigras Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Some of the odds in the match were bewildering. Aus at $5s+ before play. And NZ being favourites after the two Sears wickets. NZ have performed under par in the field a fair bit lately. Too many dropped catches in all forms of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's turning into one of the best Captains Australia ever had at controlling the play/ Situation .. Who needs Warner anymore . loan him to the Blackcaps at reduced rates? 😉 Time for a Sing-Along after that impressive Test Hesi . Here's one for you mate. (Bruce singing about baseball , but that's also a hit the ball and take run game , so close enough 😂😂 .. good little song for after the cricket (and Sat maybe 😅🏇) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 An intriguing game of Test cricket. Congrats to Australia who absorbed all the pressure and applied themselves better than the Blackcaps. Again, NZ did not capitalise on multiple opportunities. Carey played a fantastic innings, deserved a ton and to hit the winning runs. Cummins is a fabulous captain, on and off the field. Southee had plenty of runs to 'play with' but didn't even give Ravindra or Mitchell a few overs; nor did he exert maximum pressure with fielders in catching positions when new batsmen walked in. Onwards and sideways, Blackcaps. MM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
