Get ya knives back out.
It’s interesting now.

 

[Tucker]

The knives are out for the top order despite the result today.
We cannot take India on with that lineup. Theyll get eaten.

 

[Buttface]

The Kiwis have turned the lights on for some extra help. Barstidos.

Top shot Patty!!!

 

[jadtiger]

Carey got us home with a great knock of 98 not out

 

[happy_tiger]

They proved me wrong ....didn't think we had a chance at 4/34 or 5/80 ..well done

 

[Stevec]

Well I've never SOOO happy to HAPPEE to be Sooo wrong
A truly great win at 4-34 dead
5-80 more dead
7-220 maybe can do
Marsh great but Carey 98 not out fantastic and
of course Capt Pat does it again
This Australian team ALWAYS find a way
Well done guys !!

Incredible win against the odds - again!

 

[Tucker]

Well done Alex and Mitch, Patty proving he is one of the best allrounders in the world.

Me too HT. I gave them no chance with their overnight position. Have to feel for NZ a bit, they've had some heart-breaking losses in recent years.

What is it about the Australian cricket team? They almost always just seem to get it done.

Well done

They could teach our football team something about developing a winning culture,it is not just talent a players character also plays a vital part

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

India will be another beast altogether

As they should be since cricket is their number 1 sport by a long way and they have something like 50 times our population

 

[tiger_one]

You can't beat Test Cricket.

 

[Yossarian]

Really good test. NZ crowd was great too. Excellent support for the Kiwis but acknowledged good batting from the Aussies.

And everyone contributes, when needed ( except Smithy at present). Even Moses first innings was important, that’s what a champion team is all about.

Take Captain Pat out of the side and we lose a lot of these close tests. His contributions are very important.
