Interesting Day 4 coming up. Australia need 202, NZ need 6 wickets. I’d say NZ are in the box seat here… unless Trav Head and Bison thump a few runs in the morning session. Intriguing!
And I’m getting pretty bloody sick of Smudge wasting reviews. Becoming a real selfish prick in this regard… never thinks he’s f****** out. Pull ya f****** head in Steve Shane Watto Smith
Steve Smith Test Tour of New Zealand
Innings Runs Not Out Average Highest Score 100’s 50’s
4 51 0 12.75 31 0 0
Wasted Reviews - 2 But lost count
Opening Batting Position at Test Level,working well so far,eh CA?
NZ 162 (T. Latham 38, J. Hazlewood 5-31, M. Starc 3-59) & 372 (R. Ravindra 82, T. Latham 73, D. Mitchell 58, K. Williamson 51, S. Kuggeleijn 44, P. Cummins 4-62, N. Lyon 3-49) defeated by AUS 256 (M. Labuschagne 90, M. Henry 7-67) & 4/77 (B. Sears 2-22, M. Henry 2-37) & 7/281 (A. Carey 98*, M. Marsh 80, P. Cummins 32*, B. Sears 4-90, M. Henry 2-94)
And Pat Cummins riding it home again at the end. He’s been a fantastic captain despite the criticism he cops from certain sections. He has built up a nice CV of match winning performances - both with bat & ball.

What a fantastic victory
Mitch Marsh and Alex Carey the heroes

Carey deserved a ton though
The criticism Pat gets is about 90% Personal and 10% Cricket,which is what we call him out for,on occassions when tactics are questionable,like knocking off the opposition tail much slower than we should be.
Still,he came in and helped Save the Day again with the Bat,which is great,but not his job to do that.Still a few top order batsmen who need a good kick up the Arse!

The bloke is an out and out champion. Those that pot him are mainly “anti-woke” wankers who hate his stance on climate change.
There are those who also believe he was the main instigator behind Langer getting the flick. Whatever the case may be, the team, and him, have been outstanding since.
