Dravid would have done better had he played for Australia. Lots of crackheads are still bleeding out of everywhere.

Lol Kiwis Southee should retire now

[rollingstoned]

Wth how did nzl manage to lose this one? I thought I'll wake up to Aussies getting bowled out cheaply and Unzud finally having win a test against them after a decade.

A loss here would have forced Australia to fix some of their weak links, head/marsh/carey. Now they'll play unchanged XI vs india with Smith opening

Srinath: "Lack of awareness by the captain. Should have blocked that ball and given Carey the opportunity to score his century. Realize team is bigger and a win is a win but Carey is bound to be disappointed after that amazing rearguard effort." You said it: team is bigger. Get the job done.

It will perfectly paper over the cracks...  Gujara & Bahane  redux for Australia. 

 

That being said Carey perhaps saved his career after that knock.   Inglis was breathing down his neck.

So Kiwis are out of WTC final.  That leaves Aus India and SA to fight it out. 

SA needs to win every game and hope India beats Aus in Aus. 

 

Eng most likely out as well after today's result.

Just copy pasting this from another forum. NZ has a lot of questions to answer. Just goes to show the great lengths NZ takes to neutralize the subcontinental spinners.

 

All spinners' records in NZ vs South Africa/England/Australia Tests in NZ since March 2015: https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/e...2;team=3;team=5;template=results;type=bowling

Also a stat about RSA vs SC sides in tests the last 5 years where pacers have picked 300+ wickets and spinners <15. 

 

RSA and NZ are the worst and most shameless pitch doctors, period. Next time we tour NZ we will get pitches like the 2002 tour.

Bro I checked the FTP. RSA will tour Bangladesh for 2 tests later this year, meaning they too are out of the WTC final.....they haven't drawn a test in SC the last 8 years, forget winning. Whitewashed in Ind, Pak, SL the last time they toured. BD will fancy their chances of winning the series, maybe even 2-0. 

[Gollum]

The mental stranglehold Aussies have over NZ is unreal.

If Joe Root played for India, he will be as good as Jacques Kallis as an all rounder. That's why I never take the claims that Kallis was a great all rounder seriously.

During Kallis' time they didn't doctor this much, not even close. They have gone rogue since circa 2017-18.

Yes they would lose 2-0 in India so that makes it impossible for them. 

I reckon they will lose to Eng as well at home or drop a test confirmed.  Eng bullies Kiwis in Kiwi land too

Not in the last 8 or so years, I think NZ has drawn or beaten them in this time frame. 

 

Btw NZ-India is a 3 test series.

In Eng they did beat them before WTC final...  1-0.

In NZ Stokes's Eng had the ignominious record of dropping a test for the first time since 2008.
