  • How the Aussies Cooked Our Kiwi
    JT col Jan 4 2020 – cricket disaster How the Aussies cooked our kiwi There can’t be many Kiwis who now believe our cricket team should have been able to hop the Tasman and without proper preparation knock off the full-strength Aussies in their own parched land. There’s several reasons. The obvious one was we didn’t take a proffered chance to train for the savage weather and pitch conditions. As one of the commentators said, the Black Caps looked under-done in experience on the Aussie wickets and playing in much higher temperatures than at home. Acclimatising has always been a problem for cricket teams when they travel, but some small consolation is usually provided by a warm-up match before getting down to business. Not in this case. The Kiwis opted to throw themselves straight into the furnace of Perth and were duly cooked. Only bowler (and second-best Kiwi batsmen in the woeful first innings at Melbourne) Neil Wagner seemed unaffected. By the time they long-hauled back from Perth to the MCG for the much-touted Boxing Day test, the Black Caps were mentally exhausted…apart from Wagner, and Tom Blundell, who didn’t play in Perth. An underlying problem, though, is the world cricket rankings, which had New Zealand at number two and Aussie at five. It’s obvious from its TV commentators what Australia thought of that, although while Ian Smith was in the commentary box they were polite. Former England captain Michael Vaughan said it for them, calling the rankings rubbish, with Australia too low and New Zealand and England too high for credibility.
