Ffs Shane, shut up about swepson!
Give Lyon a rest or drop a batsmen....really?
He's either shagging his mum or he's actually lost it.

All this hype over NZ in Tests is just that. They haven’t got the stamina at Test level to maintain their intensity and their Test depth is poor.

I’ll say it again, when you win the toss anywhere in the World apart from when it’s a huge English or Kiwi green top then you need to bat first. There are stuff all tracks in the World that are better to bat on come the 4th innings compared to the 1st and Williamson should be shot. It’s all good to say NZ were unlucky day 1, but pitch the prick up and you would have got more than 4 wickets and more would have carried to slips (Wagner included). Their short shit has restricted Australia, but they are too slow and soon as their intensity dropped they have bled runs and Australia are too good to fall for that at home. We’ll win by an innings here the way it’s going which is embarrassing.

Correct. Astonishing that some test captains can't work that one out.

Agree with your comments re the short pitch stuff. It has now been exposed as merely negative with the Aussies showing that putting the ball up will create more angst...Wagner and co must now realise they erred with length.
In regards to blasting Williamson for the decision to bowl first... this reminds me of the criticism of Paine in similar circumstances. The decision might be announced by the skipper but is decided upon by a larger group after much thought. Also its worth noting the Aussies were also going to bowl first.

Fair spell of bowling from Patto and Cummins. Would of had alot of other players around the world in strife. Hitting good lines consistently at good pace.

Reality is only India could provide Australia a challenge at home currently

That’s glove IMO

Clearly that was glove.

100% why i dont video umpiring in any sport.

Cheating kents!

Aleem Dar making a strong case as the worst umpire in world cricket. No good on field and no good in the box

Yep, snicko, hot spot and camera footage shows conclusively it was out and the dipshit still gives it not out.
What a shocker

Im struggling to think of a worse decision from the box. I have a gut feeling Aleem was responsible for another howler in the box not so long ago, maybe the ashes.

Kiwis are still the 3rd or 4th best test team. They will beat teams that arent as disciplined as them like england, pakis, etc. They just dont have the talent to beat the aussies or India. They always fight hard but other then williamson and taylor they are all scrappers. To be fair this Aussie attack is spectacular, cant wait for the next aussie v india series as they are both very good teams.

Both at a guess.

He’d make a good weatherman.

Ddavid Llong should stop trying to defend decisions and just tell the players to shut up, lacks authority and needs to be the boss.

He and Wilson had the worst day ever in test cricket , first ashes test I think, with 7 incorrect. He should not be on the elite panel.

Latham’s luck runs out

Will we enforce the follow on?

You wouldn’t think so.
