1-1 draw will be the best result for us. Hamper Australia's WTC F chances whilst also making sure NZ doesn't get within striking distance of #1 ranking. 

Unless nz win a couple of tosses or the pitches have something for the bowlers, Enzed don't have much hope. They are a good team but Australia are getting stronger each series and, in home conditions, are near impossible to best when at full strength.

Good that Smith was dropped, thank you Latham. Hope he gets a big 100 now, cricket feels eerie when GOAT isn't scoring 100s for fun. Kiwis have bowled exceptionally well to him today, he has looked tentative but tough phase over, time to pile on the misery :dance:.

If you are not Australian then i don't think you miss watching him....

He is one of the ugliest player to watch. None of those shots are treat to eye.....

Whats stopping Aus to select carrey,  Australian mindset was to have best XI and then select captain...what happ now. If Its about giving it someone experienced and non fast bowler give it to lyon. Carrey is to good a player to be not playing.

Carrey n pat cummins will be a nightmare in lower order for oppositions

warner also wont be easy in Australian condition

In england it was duke balls and broad had a number on him

Bumrah, Shami and Ishant all are very effective against left handers. I reckon they'll work him out around the wicket.

If they dish out the same kind of pitches then it will be a matter of who plays better attritional cricket. Our batsmen must display high levels of patience and bowlers should be tight even when conditions are unfavorable. Flashy cricket may lead to disaster.

Smith yesterday was batting at a sub 30 strike rate, yet Australia had the upper hand while he was there. Our batters should be willing to display this kind of attitude. I predict a hard fought series, one for the ages.
