New Zealand vs Australia: 2nd Test, Day 1 live scores - Marnus digs in after Hazlewood skittles Black Caps

Scandals have nothing to do with cricket. Pull the other leg. Try Sth Africa episode or paines removal due to sexting not to mention smith being banned for warners scandalous efforts with your wa boy . Scandals do affect cricket. Carey was always going to be a gun. I should reporduce your comical posts as you didnt rate carey . if you didnt value my comments you wouldnt defend yourself . you just hate to be wrong and you are mostof the time. and I call you out . bosh.

Scandals have nothing to do with cricket. Paine was the right candidate then. Carey had to wait. Now, Inglis has to wait. You’d benefit if you started living your life without such anchoring of your moods to whatever I think of your opinions. I don’t value your comments so you are going to have to find a way to overcome that dark cloud.

Quite funny so you except you didnt want carey in originally . Seems I was right about Paine . scandals a plenty . Once again disgruntled when I prove you are wrong so many times. Don angry and making up anger hatred accusations. Its ok to be wrong don don its just you dont understand cricket due to your biased state myopic lens . One country don one

Always liked Carey. You were wrong back then because your blind hatred of Paine wouldn't allow you to understand wicket keeping. Now, your blind hatred of everything, life, cricket, cricketers, breathing...just blinds you to everything, especially enjoyment of cricket.

I had a mate who was right handed, right footed, right everything except billiards which he played left handed. Go figure. There is the case of the unicorn ambidextrous pitcher in MLB. He pitches left handed to lefties and right handed to righties. Haven't heard of him lately so I guess he never made it to the majors.

heads got great talent but low on brain power for me. to see him get baited in england and nz and fall for the bowling plan so many times away from Aussie batting roads is frustrating but comes a time when one wonders if he will ever get the MO rowdy

hoff and nsw bowling up prevail yet again don.

Don thanks for admitting you didnt like carey early on. as usual you create the narrative to look good on here but you merely back up the truths I have presented. I recall you not wanting Carey in early and posting against it back then , as usual youll change whenyou suffer loss of face recreating history on here . classic fence sitter and wa bias where possible. you've been called out so many times I cant remember . As usual you resort to personal attacks instead of facts . glad you eventually accepted the truth about carey and that inglis is number 2

Great nz and English form like Bancroft . thats why your in grief he's now western Australian haha

Right now I’m watching the Indian second string batting lineup decimate England whilst our top order lost a a game against the West Indies and have been average for a long while. Unless India choke, which seems reserved for ICC finals, Australia aren’t getting near India next summer.

Way out of your knowledge base 13th but Australia are World Test Champions. And we beat India in England. Time will tell if you are as clueless as I reckon you are. Come Christmas you will have a line of reasons I am certain!

Well the English have been the better team this series according to M Vaughan

He’s Victorian they hate the idea of colourful characters.

‘If only…’. think it’ll still be ok

Renshaw!! Good grief.

He stayed in his crease when he was bowled. He moved down the crease a lot in his big innings.

Of course I'm a Paine fan. That doesn't mean, if you support one you hate the other. There can be more than one good keeper in the country. What a weird, bitter, oppositional way of thinking you have.

You're not thinking.

Poor batting by Kiwis. And bafflingly, the Aussies want to replicate ! What is wrong with Mr. Head ? Now its time for Smith to take some break. He is no longer Mr. Dependable: and pl. note he can not be an Opener. Dear Marnus, do hang on and get a big one. Its overoverdue.

Well, there is the little SS everybody gets in Spring. He'd need to nake 2/3 centuries then. It's in his kopf for sure. It could be as simple as he thinks nothing's riding on the result so he's careless. Maybe, nayve, I'm not really sure. Frustrating aF.
