Cricket: NZ vs Aus

[Hooroo]

Latest is the Lockie starts and Boult is out all tom

[Siam]

I'm a nervous wreck.
Filled with hope and expectation, only to have the ghosts of past oz campaign's stampede my new found admiration.

No Boult is a blow. Hope big house is good

[Bovidae]

I see Nigel fuckin' Llong is one of the umpires. :astonished_face:

I've got low to no expectations. Hardly anyone wins test series in Aus. 4 in the last 10 years

They'll win this test for sure.

Then it's us trying to get a result on a Melbourne pitch that could be anything, given they are on a last warning for being too boring. Or Sydney without a decent spinner

What's worse is fucking David Warner will probably top score this series.

Despite my pessimism, I'm still excited to play them over there. Particularly the MCG. It's like coming to play the ABs here - a true test of ability, and a massive challenge

Replying to myself, but that streak from teh Windies in 93/94 to SA in 08/09 is ridiculous. Ridiculous.

That upvote for you could have come from anywhere

[Bovidae]

Aust won the toss and are batting. There's a surprise!

Ferguson is playing.

[NTA]

Flinging down 140kmh rocks in 38°C - fuck that

Some good shape from Southee

[KiwiMurph]

The numbers on the backs of shirts look shit.

They're black. Surely that counts for something?

[Donsteppa]

Wagner v Warner at some stage this series will be well worth watching

[mariner4life]

less than 130km an hour isn't going to cut it in Aus

[Donsteppa]

Not looking remotely ominous from Warner.

CdG might need a golden arm afternoon.

[Virgil]

We should have requested this series to be played in England.. and with Stuart Broad on our side..

[Chris B.]

Not even an hour in and Oz at $1.20 to win. Us at $7.40 - with a draw also at $7.40.

That's saying the Oz quicks will be effective where our boys won't be - plus Lyons will get to bowl on the final day pitch if required.

That draw money might be worth a sniff with the heat likely to take its toll on the bowlers.

[nzzp]

CdG and Wagner look a lot bette rthan Ferguson and Southee. FML.

[No Quarter]

Colin!! What a legend that man is

[Donsteppa]

Golden arm
