Re: NZ hosting Australia 2024- Cricket series thread
If we roll them the pitch flattens out so a second dig could end in a massive score - except Lyon is probably the most effective spinner here in recent years and he was already getting turn

Re: NZ hosting Australia 2024- Cricket series thread
At the start of the day I really thought we could restrict them to 300 and with the pitch flattening go close to scoring 400.

Re: NZ hosting Australia 2024- Cricket series thread
Whats the forecast for Sunday?
If it's good I'd imagine Australia try and bat all day tomorrow to put more miles on our bowlers then clean us up in our valiant chase of 600.

After all the costs of apartment ownership are not insignificant and the depreciation alone must be horrendous. Agree - Hipkins didn't live in Premier House either. He chose to live in his own house.

Blues seem like they have a repeat of past year. Backs that can win games if they have a platform, a forward pack better than most but probably not good enough to beat the best sides.
