Remember, the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy will also be up for grabs today. Last time it was seen was during the 2011 World Cup match in Nagpur.

That's pathetic, Australia and New Zealand should be playing every year.

Our review identified changes needed to be made and, in Stephen, we have a coach who has a reputation for demanding the highest standards.
They're going to keep cutting back to Key & Abbott all day aren't they :barf:

That was 4 times just during the NZ anthem, neither of them know anything about cricket and they're both cunts.

We're a country of 4 million people, it's not financially sensible for Australia to play us.

Basically money rules sports and it's only going to get worse- World Cup in Russia and Qatar is an example of this

As an Australian I would just like to say that New Zealand's national anthem is far, far better than ours.

So is their Prime Minister.

If you want to be a (former primer minister) at the cricket then do what Bob Hawke did and scull a beer. That's what you do when you watch a cricket game.

Key's almost as poo poo at Abbott, he's just far better at hiding it. He's basically a Prime Minister Turnbull.

Key may be a oval office, but at least he's not a loving oval office like Abbott.

I've always hoped the Chappell-Hadlee trophy will grow into some Bledisloe Cup style rivalry, but with how the ICC is currently :negative:

Nice start here

It's nice that they've let New Zealand tag along with all this but this game should really have been played in Australia.

Australia to score 500. New Zealand to chase it down in 40 overs.

Tiny little grounds they have in New Zealand. They might as well be batting with a pizza board etc

Don't let the footage on TV fool you - this ground is 3 or 4 times larger than the MCG, these modern bats though, I tell you what

I reckon that ball did absolutely gently caress all and Finch just missed it tbh, everything's got to nip back these days
