Trans-Tasman Trophy (NZ in Australia), December 2011/12

I remember in Sri Lanka the eagle/Hawk eye drew a lot of attention for it's "inaccuracy".

That is a good read.

Nice, although the first time they reviewed Lyon, i did think he was out.

Really interesting read. Merely confirms what I've been thinking for a long time, the BCCI have some kind of alterior reasons for trying to derail Hawkeye. I think that should be stickied for a bit in Cricket Discussion personally.

Not that it'll make any difference to some people

Progress, surprisingly difficult sometimes.

Play Hughes against India, forget winning even a single test match.

Lol, Hughes isnt going to change a series.

Its the whole top 6. A few need to go, a few need to get in form.

 

[swacker]

Ponting, Clarke, Hussey and especially Haddin need to take a long, hard took at themselves, as senior batsmen in the team. That capitulation was pathetic.

Given all the recent collapses, I wonder if Justin Langer isn't teaching them the right way somehow.

You can always count on Australia to give you a good chuckle these days. Great way to start the week.

New Zealand, best slip cordon in cricket right now?

 

[Haarithan]

Also did NZL just win their first test match away from home against a top 8 test nation, since 2002?!

 

[Papa_Smurf]

At least Phil Hughes made a good buck, eh?

Oh feck Just saw this was a 2 match series.

Another awful decision after leaving us at 1-1 in the SA series. On the flipside Aus must be plummeting down the rankings after failing to beat NZ at home.

I think we're all prepared for Australia to lose a few on the way back to the top. Even to New Zealand, and frankly it'll be good for world cricket if they can build a winning habit.

For Australia, Cummins/Pattinson/Lyon have shown they can become a very, very good bowling attack - injuries permitting - while the likes of Hazlewood/Starc clearly have a lot of potential as well. Batting, obviously, needs some work. I do think Hughes will be part of the answer in the long term, and we need him to sort himself out ASAP. Would actually like to see him playing in RSA during Big Bash and England D1 in the offseason. Kind of a strange move, but it'd be he right one I think.

We'll still beat India 4-0 though.

 

[barmyarmy]

Well at least it's a 4 test series...

Oh obviously you will. Congrats on the win before hand
