It's a nice enough stadium the Caketin but who was the genius that decided to make all the seats bright yellow?
If a game has a mediocre attendance it's just that the brightly coloured empty seats makes it really stand out.I personally like it haha. It's Wellington colours, that's the reason.
We are all too busy watching the DVD of the World Cup finalWell this is no fun.... All the Aussies are hiding away.
Well not sure you quite get it. We will start with Smith, he will be a good captain but has much to learn tactically. The decision was right it was off the foot and it was out, but clearly the appeal was only made due to the big screen replay. Bad sportsmanship, never mind NZ will never forgive the underarm no matter how many time they have to top it. Remember it was in the rules. Oh and the Lyon decision was just a crap third umpire decision, we was out be there no doubtDear Steven Smith, while I can see where you are coming from with the Marsh dismissal, I don't recall you having a similar reaction with the Lyon wicket in Australia recently... At the end of the day, the correct decision was made and maybe just maybe, you take the loss on the chin like a man for once?
He is a good captain tactically, but I think he still has a bit of maturing to to do as yet..

No, there was an appeal from the catch, a crap appeal but an appeal nonetheless and that requires a decision from the umpires. The fault all lies with the umpires for not giving a decision straight away or referring it straight away if they had doubt.The decision was right it was off the foot and it was out, but clearly the appeal was only made due to the big screen replay.
Damn straight, when Australia have all their players on deck they are a champion side.Polishing the World Cup trophy.
In all seriousness we were outplayed in two of the three matches. Our bowling did pretty well in two and a half games for a second/third string attack but our batting let us down bar a few individual innings. That Mitch Marsh was our second top scorer says a lot about how our top order went. Hopefully we can turn it around in the tests.
I should also point out that Mark Craig has been added to the New Zealand test squad in place of Mitchell Santner who is out with bone bruising in one of his feet.

I completely agree, Smith is a very good captain as shown by his planning for Williamson and the NZ middle order. Isn't it weird how batting failures are blamed on the captain and not on the selectors?Smith is hypocritical in his reactions to different decisions. If a decision goes Australia's way (any type of decision) then he's like, 'that's cricket, move on...' and if it goes against them and has a big impact then he cries wolf and questions the way the game is run... Some consistency and maybe I'd give him a bit more respect.
As for his captaincy, I thought he was excellent in all of the three matches..
Sodhi should have been added. Why did this have to happen?? We only just got rid of Craig!
