Re: NZ hosting Australia 2024- Cricket series thread

300+ minimum I reckon and realistically 350+. The positive is that it’s doing a bit with the new ball. Matt Henry is the big hope with the ball. As I type this Blundell has gifted his wicket away. :x He needs to be flayed for that. Shocking shot. Seems symptomatic of the general batting attitude. H...

Re: NZ hosting Australia 2024- Cricket series thread

Unless the Phillips and Henry slogs come off I can't see us leaving a decent chase. Reckon we need a 300+ lead. As it is we could be all out for 330 Not all is lost yet. It is the new ball which was always going to be a challenge, see this off and we can accumulate for a bit. I reckon we need 350

Yeah can't help but think this will be a canter for them with Bumrah, Shami and the spinners plus our guys having spent three hours in 38 degrees in the field.
