Australia in New Zealand (2024)

[Frustrated]

Williamson proved yet again that he is not a king of soft runs.  Unlike Babar Azam.   Just when it looked like the game is slipping out of NZ's hands, he produces a match winning knock on a tough pitch against the world's best bowling attack.   NZ should win from here unless their bowlers and fielders choke badly.

Siraj is major concern

His indisciplined bowling for past 18-20 months and the carefree look on his face is irritating and scary for our chances down under

Need to keep that guy on toes,taking his place for granted

Should be dropped once he fails against NZ,

/BD(should be given only one test to showcase his form not more,we shouldn't wait for the series to end and make final decision,anyone who replaced him also needs time and game under belt for all important Aus tour)

yes,his only setting seems to be hot or cold and no consistency at all.indian fast bowlers have taken wickets on the kind of surfaces we have seen and he should have more wickets in this series.

Tyagi is out of the question with his questionable attitude to red ball cricket

Itwill be too early to make that opinion

But yes,there are signs which we see from distance

Need to wait for one more season to finally make a conclusion,maybe he's dumb not to switch Ranji sides

[Serpico]

Both NZ and WI bowling attacks are carried by just one bowler and Aussie batsmen still couldn't see them off. If they don't improve their form in next season, Bumrah-Kuldeep will wipe the floor with them

Agree. Aussies are really lucky that they got 3 ATG all format pacers for such a long duration. Will be very difficult to replace them.

Cummins is atg

Starc only atg in odi and t20

Hazelwood again only short format great

Not in tests

This bowling attack in on par what Aus used to have earlier.

 

Starc is better than Lee. Hazelwood equal to Gillespie or better than 3rd seamers who used for Aus.

 

Warne was better than Lyon.

Mcgrath is a level above Cummins though

[Majestic]

McGrath> Cummins

Warne >> Lyon

Hazelwood = Gillespie

Starc = Lee

 

Starc outside of D/N pink ball test matches averages about 30, which is same as what Lee averaged. 

[R!TTER]

Gillespie's better than Hazel "cheap knock off" McGrath - Gillespie had an exceptional record in India, better than McGrath & he was seriously quick till 2003 WC -

Hazlewood is nothing compared to gillespie

Record in India SA even in eng and nz till very recently is rubbish 

 

Very lucky he dint play in India last time where Cummins averaged 40. 

[Kron]

Sears will trouble us for sure

Henry is a trundler

Southee is old

O Rourke is average

Jamieson though will be a pain

Sears looks really good. Exactly the kind of bowler I like. Nice action. 

 

O Rourke kind of looked average tbh

 

Jamieson is great in bovuny wickets.

 

Henry pakka trundler. Don't care about him. Him and o Rourke I am not worried about one bit. 

 

Jammu and Sears will trouble us badly in nz. 

 

Nathan Smith trundle again

 

Fisher not sure

 

 

[Kron]

Where did they steal Sears from. I really like his action. Brilliant. We have to be at our best and prepare well if we want to win a series in nz

 

 

And nz will never ever give us normal pitches cause they are scared. It will be a lawn

 

[Kron]

Tall bowlers should imitate Sears action. Good follow through. Nice action

Tim sharma or Rohit southee?  Captaincy is so formulaic.

That is one of the most common action i have seen from a lot bowlers. After a jump and use that momentum to impart pace to the delivery. Akash deep is a bit like that. Lance Klusner from the past. He would amble to the crease. And at the final loading phase he would put everything.
