NSW carrying Australia again

God Bless NSW :crazy

Imagine there was a NSW ban on the Australian team.
What would we do then?

Celebrate ??

Finally rid of the big headed highly paid wannabe's that choke at the first sign of a challenge , bit like the SOO in that respect

:bawling :bawling :bawling

I know if we did that we'd struggle to win a game.

Warner won't get too many chances like this to score a 300

Mini slump 3/428

He's 7 off 44 balls Geo ….......

Every other batsmen has scored at over 50 runs/ 100 balls , but that's OK Captain Grumpy is a NSWmen can't do anything wrong , can he

Would be nice to come into this thread sometime and not have to read the boring interstate by play. Gets old real fast.

As for the cricket, what can you say. Thought that warm up match at Blacktown was just an anomaly, obviously not. Kiwi's should be made to swim home after this effort. If this series isn't boring enough, the Windies will be here in December to put us all to sleep again.

NZ have bowled much better in the first hr .....plenty of time build and increase his run rate...

Until that Brain Explosion... :brick:

The Kiwis are better than this. Series wins against the Poms and Pakis where we couldn't get the job done suggests this. That said, Australia is notoriously hard to tour.

That's because the Aussies are hopeless away from home. Have no idea in England and the Sub Continent.

We do OK in South Africa, perhaps because it's similar, but yeah we're hopeless in England and on decks that resemble clay courts.

SA pitches are similar to ours because their strength is our strength in regards to the quicks, so we'll always play well there. Put them in conditions that aren't conducive to their strengths though and they are screwed. They're hometown heroes.

Happy proven correct again

Question though , noticed that something unusual must have happened during the latest shield game between NSW and Victoria ??

Was it pitch related ??

What that you're a dope….. if you are seriously suggesting the World No,2 ranked Test batsman should be dropped after a few low scores....

Victorian's are softer than QLD horses that get scr after a bit of rain...

So what happened , was the pitch falling apart ?? I'm asking a serious question

Kane Williamson deserves a special shout out. Got to feel sorry for him, just about the best bastsman in the world, and besides McCullum, has to do it all himself. Warner has been getting the headlines, but Williamson has been the man of the series so far imo given the quality of bowling he's had to face by comparison and the fact he's had to do it all by coming out after his team has conceded 550+ runs. To have the will and drive to not pack it in says a lot. Kudos to him.

Nothing wrong with the pitch…the outfield still recovering from the football season...the poor diddums slipped over a few times...

[GNR4LIFE]

These commentators are kidding aren't they, complaining about the flatness of the pitch now that the Kiwi's are scoring runs. It was fine in the first test and the first innings of this game. I guess the 7 wickets the Kiwi's took yesterday didn't count.

 

[Geo]

Great fightback by the Kiwi lads..Williamson plays the ball so late….didn't even give a chance..still a big lead...good watching them bat...Hazelwood has bowled much better than his figures indicate...

He will finish NZ's finest batsman by a long way. Should he not be crippled by injury he'll score over 10,000 runs.

Hey Dopester….you watching the cricket....S Smith comes in at 1/8 after Burns got a Duck and calmly peels off a Century off 144 balls...his 4th Century as Captain and 8th in the calendar year......
