    Astles 222 in a losing effort will never be beat. I lay on the couch still drunk from the night before and watched the entire innings. Just brilliant stuff.

    Nathan Astle Nathan Astle
    You neeeaaaarly won the match
    You may have scored two hundred
    But you droooooped
    The vital catch

    The barmy army can be quality

    It's certainly a bit more clever and witty than "Hadlees a piston wristed gibbon"

    @NTA shit it must be embarrassing to be Australian sometimes.

    It's alright, actually. Particularly when it comes to cricket.

    Being a kiwi mistaken for an Aussie though? Ooft...

    Anybody else concerned with what seemed to be music between each over at Seddon Park?

    Bracing myself to be grumpy at The Basin this week. Hopefully I don't end up yelling and swearing at the clouds like last time I was there (for a Super Smash game). Nothing can be that bad, though ..... music after each boundary, wicket, over ...

    It's the thin edge though isn't it.

    I'll join you on that hill πŸ™‚

    Seriously, though, I get it for T20 and maaaaybe sometimes in ODI. But people go to tests because they love Cricket. Don't blast music, provide a differentiating experience.

    I don't even get it for T20. I went to NZ v India a couple of years back and it was sold out. Atmosphere was absolutely electric. Then a boundary would get hit, music would blare out, and the atmosphere would be killed dead for a while. It objectively ruins the experience of going to a live sporting event in a full stadium.

    I see Roach has gone home for personal reasons.

    Rest of the team may as well follow him to be honest

    Gosh he’s good. He might take Boults spot in my all time XI if he’s not careful.

    Worth considering if he keeps going. Go to have someone that can take wickets on a dead pitch with an older ball and our spinners are shit. Not sure that Trent would miss out though...

    there's the rub. He's more likely to take Dan's spot than Boult's

    even then...

    Wags is an honest trier who gets wickets with persistence. Love him, he's a fucking hero. But one of our best ever?

    yes. but it's a damning statement when the dude bowling 130km bouncers at guys for 15 overs straight is in our all time best attack.

    That's what I love about him. Put him in bad conditions and he will make something happen using pure will

    Wagner may not be the 3rd best NZ seamer of all time, but he is by daylight the best NZ 3rd seamer all time.
