First of all apologies. I know there were thousands of Roar readers waiting for the follow up to the first round analysis of the…
Well, how refreshing is this! Grey, not green fairways. Massive greens. Double greens. Balls running 75 metres plus. Minimal fanfare; maximum tradition. Players that…
Unfortunately he was over-bowled by England in tests and this is the result. A shame.
The possibiliy of Jofra Archer's career coming to an early end will rob cricket of a bowler with so much talent
Exactly.

You just knew when the Broncs took that penalty shot to lead by 4 they had tried to shut up shop too early. Badly Needed more experienced heads out there.

100%. The tackler has the responsibility to NOT hit the ball carrier in the head with any part of his body. How would an ‘accidental” elbow to Walsh’s head be treated? Yes… as foul play. So take the star player out – late, after he has passed the ball – so he leaves the field for the whole match while the tackler stays on the field, seemingly not concussed. Ridiculous and not right.

Quite simply you could just start with the players that Jones left out of our world cup starting teams and work back from there.

CA giving themselves a free option. Hardie for Stoinis doesn’t sound ridiculous at all.

I guess the view is that Green is ahead of him and is young!

I watched the wrong match… should have watched the points-fest in Melbourne instead of the snooze-fest Tah’s game ruined by pedantic refereeing. At one stage in the first half, the game was well on track for 40 penalties for the match. Honestly, you could blow a penalty every second such is the nature of the rules in rugby. Refs, pls go to the Bill Harrigan School of Sensible Reffing. All codes welcome. There are places still available for next semester.

I’ll reply to my own comment… apparently he wasn’t aware that Carey was on 98…

100% spot on. I believe India makes its players play in their regional comp or they don’t get ICB Contracts (eg Pandya). We should do the same. We don’t play another test for 9 mths!!!
Test Mortem: Epic comeback win but cracks remain in line-up, Shield form has to count for something, Pat should bat higher
Still don’t quite understand why Cummins didn’t block out that final over so Carey could get his 100.

NZ capitulated against an Australian side getting the results… but with some very obvious short comings. No Wagner? No full time spinner (Lyon second highest wicket taker in the series). Boult not playing. Was Lachie Ferguson injured too? NZ lost the moments and dropped the crucial catches. They will probably have to wait until 2032 to have another crack on home soil.

Puts the guys bowling to him in a tough position too.

Most people don’t measure up to Cam Green!
Aussie batters grow complacent in cocoon of comfort created by gun-shy selectors - but at least Green finally blossoms
Cam implied that the bowlers knew all about sandpaper in the famous tank top interview and now the bowlers run the team. Cam could score a million runs and still would find it a hard road back.

I think its horrendous that this test is the first b/w Aust and NZ in NZ in 8 years! These kiwis are formidable at home and play a lovely brand of cricket. Maybe that is why! If nothing else we should play there more often so our lads get more practice in English conditions. The Basin pitch looks like it was carved out of the outfield!

100%. It wasn’t Ned’s fault he was picked too frequently too early . Good luck to him if he stays or goes to France.
