If we are any chance in this Test we need to start much stronger. Need Boult to stand up this time!

Same thing has happened to a number of our former Test spinners over the last few years..

Is that John Hastings?

This is my eleven for the 2nd Test: Latham Guptill Williamson Taylor McCullum Watling Santner Bracewell Henry Southee Boult

True but there is actually over 100 nations that play international cricket or at least have at times... They have to have been playing somewhere. Even if the ground infrastructure is terrible.

Well deserved Australia! Don't bank on another average Kiwi performance in Perth though. ;)

Just cause Mark Nicholas doesn't know what he's talking about... Neesham averages 40 and has two Test centuries. ;) Player in progress for sure though.

Baz super unlucky! Just when we didn't need a bad decision...

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Does that portray my thoughts clearly? :P

The US has more promise because they love baseball but it would still be bloody tough to convince Americans to give it a shot... T20 would be the only way I reckon. With Japan and China, the only way would be through the Olympics which I am actually in favour of.. Add T20 to the Olympics and...

Really bad news is that Neesham is injured and out of the tour! Both our all rounders are out! :eek: McClenaghan has come into the squad. It does mean that Santner will almost definitly get his debut in Australia now. He is a star of the future (in many people's eyes) but it might be a bit...

If McCullum gets a fifty then you know what we will be will be playing for... ;)

I hadn't considered that but definitely a better decision than playing Craig and the Waca isn't known to offer any spin is it? In Adelaide I would like them to give Santner a go but they will probably play both of them... Especially if Neesham doesn't start performing..

He was unlucky. I laughed when most of the Aussie commentators were calling it a good call lol.

I hope you are right. :confused: If we show some character then at least we can take that into the next few Tests..

Well played Burns.

Haven't paid it any attention to be honest. Supposedly taking the game to the US? But if the tickets are expensive then only people who are already cricket fans will go watch lol.

What do you guys thing about Hazlewood? I think he's a great find for Australia. Every team needs a bowler who can put it on the spot all day long. A great foil for the pace of Starc and Johnson. Reminds me of Southee a bit. You don't need to bowl quickly if you consistently put it in the right...

A lot of Kiwi fans are already behaving like the series is over! They have obviously forgotten how we have often started Test series poorly over the last 24 months and come back to win or level the series.. The main concerns for me is that we need either Southee or Boult to have a really good...

Hate that it was against us but you can't beat watching quality fast bowling, especially if there are some left armers... Except maybe a quality spell of leg spin bowling. ;) EDIT: Kane all class and Watling as gritty as ever!
