That was how a kid who doesnt play the game gets out.
Fair dinkum, I know this bloke is eccentric as a batsman, but that was embarrassing.

Playing against a young guy bowling on test debut too, awful.

Our batting is so fragile and the tone is set from the top Smith cant open and his negativity is rubbing off on Khawaja .Marnus is a little better and Head is irresponsible .
This batting line up will not compete with India next summer

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Test #1 ranked = Australia
ODI #1 ranked = India
T20 #1 ranked = India

But I thought Australia won the 1 day world cup.....

Amazing / ridiculous they'd select Kuggerleijn on International Women's Day, outside of being a shite cricketer.

Why what did Kuggerleijn do?

 

[Buttface]

That Maori bloke who comments from the crowd is a crack up.
He has a great sense of fun and humour.

I want his job.

The Smith to opener has not worked yet . Personally I would selected Bancroft. Although that would have forced Green out of the eleven and he basically set the platform for the bowlers to win the 1st test.

Our batting has been so inconsistent over the past few years but usually someone stands up and saves the day, or the tail wags. I guess having our bowling attack certainly helps when our batsmen struggle

Drop Marnus smith to 3?

We did, we are the World Cup Champs but India are ranked no1. They just can’t get the job done when it matters. That’s why we are still the best Winston.

At stumps Marnus at 45 not out is about our best this time but its rare !
I just think Warner at the top set the tone and our top order were more positive .
Smith as opener is a fail ..Head needs to be told to stop trying to hit a boundary off every ball .20 mins to stumps and Henry bowling really well . He is irresponsible .No need to pick teams now as next test vs India next summer .However winning this test very important for the WTC table
By the way India at lunch Day 2 are 1-264 with the Poms all out 218 Both Rohit and Gill have reached their hundred .Cant believe their commentator said they were on top session 1 on day 1 .This is so lopsided that'"daylight " is coming second Bazball ? Meh !

Was accused of rape.

Looking forward to next summer 5 tests on our soil vs India .It will truly be a battle of the world's top 2 sides .imagine if they have Jaiswal with Kohli and Kl Rahul and Shami back and maybe Richardt Pant who been out a long time after being in a horrific car accident
We will match them in the bowling with our Fab 4 plus a few in the wings eg Bartlett ,Johnson but we need to fix our batting before November

Has played like a park cricketer, absolute pedestrian pie chucker and hopeless batting so far in this series.

Also rape allegations.

Saw footage of Rishabh Pant doing some wicket keeping training in a net session the other day, hopefully he's able to fully recover.

Jaiswal will cause huge trouble in Australian conditions if he can maintain the consistency.

IND 3/291, England presumably going for another 'moral' victory rather than one that relies on the actual scorecard/cricketing ability.

I’d hate to play them now.

Kuggeleijn: How should NZ Cricket respond?

Will New Zealand Cricket break its silence on the Scott Kuggeleijn matter?

www.nzherald.co.nz

"When asked about the complainant's evidence that she said "no" "dozens of times", he said it was "a lie". "I tried [having sex] twice, like she might have said 'no, no' a few times but it wasn't dozens of times."

He and his lawyer reiterated their defences from the first trial that the woman had been "provocatively dressed" and "looking for male attention". Attention was also drawn to the amount of alcohol she had been drinking and her reliability as a witness."

The guy is a scumbag (probably too nice of a word for him). As a Kiwi I am embarrassed that he plays for our national team.

That 50 would feel good.

WTF? He’s the type of bloke my Nana used to cobble.

 

[Buttface]

Now that’s a catch.
Marnus with a good knock of 90.
We lead by 59 get that up over 100 we will be in a good position.

 

[jadtiger]

Henry got 7 wickets in an innings and you don't see that too often.We lead by 94

Yeah he bowled well, so did Hazo. When you look at the score card it’s pretty even except for Marnos 90.
