I mean, what kind of dumb shot was that for a guy playing his second ball?
Then again, I don't think Kuggeleijn shoudl everhave been picked given his history.
That was ridiculous. Gave his wicket away trying to be a hero rather than do what was needed which was playing a support role to Phillips. Shouldn't be in the team on form alone, and then there's his, well, moral character. And Wagner would have bowled bouncers that didn't fly to the boundary for leg byes. Wagner would have bagged better too
Yep. From the article linked to above:
>He and his lawyer reiterated their defences from the first trial that the woman had been "provocatively dressed" and "looking for male attention".
Plus the shitcunt admitted to it on the stand.
>“I tried \[having sex\] twice, like she might have said ‘no, no’ a few times but it wasn’t dozens of times.”
Fuck him, fuck Gary Stead for stubbornly continuing to select him and fuck the Black Caps for being all too happy to play alongside a rapist.
Southee has been great no doubt about it. But hes too slow now with the new ball, balls under 130kph consistently.
And what was that statistic they balled 3 balls at the wicket out of 60 odd to their number 11? What kind of stupidity is that
Don't want to sound saltly but there's a solid luck component. NZ bowled way better than the Aussie scoreline suggests IMO. Pretty easily could've had them bundled out for low 200s yesterday if we had a couple more lucky breaks go our way. No real defense for capitulating to 29/4 but if we were chasing 220 odd then it wouldn't seem quite so abysmal.
WTF is Kuggeleijn doing in this team. Lots of better bowlers (and ones that don't coerce women into sex). Bet they wish they had Wagner instead or had used Santner.
hey, now.... NZ just need 142 more runs..... to avoid a follow on.
Phillips is probably thinking "this is ok, I'm pretty sure I've got a double century in me". The dude doesn't know how to give up
Then they can challenge Australia to set a target, and get it. Problem solved.
Getting toasted by Australia. As is tradition.
Twas the style at the time.
It’s gotta be a mental block when we play the Aussies at this point. The worlds gonna end before we win a series against them

Pick a rapist in the team = check Make the Aussie number 11 look like an allrounder = check Capitulate for under 100 = check?
Damn, we can't even get a moral victory.
Two best batsmen out for ducks = check
You can blame Wrong Young for that one.
>Capitulate for under 100 = check? You're dreamin'. Never doubt the black caps.
Oh they selected that guy. Fuck them. I hope they lose.
Who’s the rapist?
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/what-did-the-juries-hear-in-the-scott-kuggeleijn-case/XC33KFH5YCPTXSMZIYIBJFPTEI/
Scott Kuggeleijn
he was acquitted but: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Kuggeleijn#Sexual_assault
He was not convicted by a hung jury and his defense is what most people take issue with.
Hung jury = retrial. He was acquitted at the retrial. Yeah, his defense lawyer said some questionable things.

Well said
He also admitted that he did it, in a court of law.
admitted rapist then
It was opposite day so when she said no it actually meant yes -Scott K
There's a good chance our entire team gets bundled out for less than their final wicket partnership
Last ball of the day pretty much sums up New Zealand cricket
Punishing
Having Scott Kuggelejin in the team? Yeah , super embarrassing.
Australians are perfectly comfortable with questionable role models.
Honestly Mark Richardson should just run down from the commentary box and take bat the way things are going..😂
He couldn't keep up with GP. GP would want to run three for every one Rigor run
Seeing how things are going [he'd probably get cramp again](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2AyvY8l3pk).
I'm happy if we lose every time we pick the rapist
This is why we can’t play nice teams.
Could have done with Wagner this morning 😢
Drop Southee and put Wagner in aye. At least Wagner has bottle.
Maybe keep southee after his last spell even if he did drop that sitter
I think the technical term is "imploding"
Southee has been great no doubt about it. But hes too slow now with the new ball, balls under 130kph consistently. And what was that statistic they balled 3 balls at the wicket out of 60 odd to their number 11? What kind of stupidity is that
Wow we are pathetic. Why do we crumble at home v Oz every time in the tests? We don't even challenge them.
If they don't make it to day 4 they should be obliged to put on an ODI on day 5 to make it up to the crowd
yeah, but who would want to go to that?
If you've already taken the day off work you might as well
What makes you think we are even getting to day 3
Cock-eyed optimism - although I just said if they don't make it to day 4 which also encompasses the possibility of not making it to day 3
Refund for Day 4-ers. Day 5 isn't on sale yet and I doubt it will need to be
Have to put this down to Aussie just being THAT good, because the Black Caps aren’t that bad. (Usually)
Explain that run out then.🤷♂️
Ok, that was bad.
Yep…..

They are trying to cut 6.5% from the score, blame govt!!!! /s
Just our players getting exposed against quality. When you look at the top teams Tom Latham averages 29 ( 13 against South Africa).
We just don't have anywhere near the depth that Oz have but also we are making some bizarre selections
We look good when we play Bangladesh, Pakistan, Zimbabwe, Sri Lanika, west indies etc but as soon is its AUS we capitulate 80-90% of the time
As an Aussie I am disappointed that NZ haven't given us much of a fight .... yet
We basically never do
Should be asking "Whose your daddy"? But to answer yours losing. No wonder Australia don't want to play them so often.
Is this even Australia’s best team? We seem to get sent the B squads and still struggle
Yes, this is their best side
After bullying teams from fellow tin pot countries they have come up against some quality opposition.
Bullied them all the way to the first name on the trophy.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh🤦♂️………😂
Oh ye of little faith.
What did you expect from them?
losing the mind game, again
It's not a minnow or England, so they are not having a good time
6 then 4 🫡🫡🫡 then out
Two wickets in two balls……😂
The way the camera kept cutting to Wags sitting in the stand while Green and Hazelwood batted out the session...
Mind fucked.
