Brought into the New Zealand team to add pace, Matt Henry (bowling to Marnus Labuschagne at the Sydney Cricket Ground) didn't justify replacing Tim Southee with first innings figures of 1-94, particularly since Southee had 12 wickets over the past two tests. There's an argument that those wickets came after Australia had established a first innings advantage, although New Zealand's bowling took a hit with Boult's injury preventing him playing in the first test.
More likely NZ, having won the toss in the second test, should have batted first to try to gain the advantage instead of taking the field. I'm not sure it would have changed the result but playing Southee in the third test here (who as deputy would have been in the running to captain in Williamson's absence) would have allowed NZ to play a stronger team. It's possible the NZ selectors took a 'Bill Lawry' type of decision to allow Tom Latham to be captain, considering that Williamson, Nicholls and Santner couldn't play due to illness.
The major factor in the series has been Australia's bowlers' dominance over the NZ batters. Boult, Wagner and Southee could match the Australian pace bowlers for skill and commitment but not speed, with the Australian bowlers hitting 150kph and the NZ bowlers averaging 125-130kph. In the spin department, NZ's Santner was hopelessly outclassed by Lyon.
NZ's batting has been disappointing, particularly the engine room of Williamson and Taylor who have had successes against Australia in the past.
That's largely because Australia's bowers have performed well and with Labuschagne's emergence the batting has been able to outlast pressure applied by an impressive performance from Neil Wagner.
Crowds have been good with a great turnout in Melbourne - more than 80,000 attended the first day of the Boxing Day test and about 200,000 overall, including a lot of New Zealand supporters. More than 36,000 spectators attended the first day of the SCG test.
At the start of the third test, Australia has won the toss and elected to bat at the Sydney Cricket Ground. New Zealand's Matt Henry prepares to bowl to Australia's openers David Warner and Joe Burns. This was NZ's first test at the SCG in 34 years!
In home conditions (and following a successful defence of the Ashes), Australia have their mojo back with a 5-0 demolition of the opposition. The batting remains vulnerable but there's now three top performers and the bowling attack is fierce on home soil.
I'll skip to the bushfires. There's regular footage of black skies in the daytime and burning forests and the Navy has been called in to provide relief to coastal towns isolated by the fires. We're still coming to terms with the damage - which will exceed $2 billion and the fires are continuing, with little rain expected until April.
After twenty years of rising record temperatures (including 48.9 degrees Celsius in Penrith - a residential city on Sydney's outskirts just a couple of days ago), our federal government has lately copped a lot of criticism about the bushfires from conservative media; the Financial Times castigated Australia's 'lamentable response' to climate

If you're looking to donate go to a well recognised group as the ACCC (competition authority) has warned us about sites being set up to take advantage of people's generosity. Two I can recommend are the Red Cross at fundraise.redcross.org.au/drr and the NSW Rural Fire Service www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/volunteer/support-your-local-brigade.
The ASU Department of English presents doctoral candidate Matthew S. Henry in a "warm-up" talk for a forthcoming presentation in Stanford University's Environmental Humanities Project lecture series.
This talk, titled "Extractive Fictions: Energy and Environmental Justice in the Anthropocene," will begin with a discussion of "extractive fictions," or cultural productions that map the uneven impacts of fossil fuel extraction on poor, ethnic minority, and indigenous communities. As a case study, it will focus on fiction, poetry, and public art exhibits that respond to socio-ecological crises associated with coal and gas development in impoverished rural communities in northern Appalachia, with an emphasis on the ways in which artists are challenging dominant narratives of extraction as a path to economic and social progress. The talk will close with an exploration of collaborative, cross-disciplinary reclamation art projects that prompt affected communities to envision post-extraction futures and an epistemological shift away from extraction culture.
Matthew S. Henry is a PhD candidate in the English at ASU. He is currently completing a dissertation entitled "Hydronarratives: Reading Water in the Anthropocene," which explores the ways in which U.S. and Anglophone writers, artists, and filmmakers frame water crises in terms of social and economic justice. His most recent scholarly and creative work has appeared in ISLE: Interdisciplinary Studies in Literature and the Environment, ARIEL: A Review of International English Literature, High Country News, and Everything Change: An Anthology of Climate Fiction.

"The most common card, of course, is the 2 of diamonds. I had 10 of these before I had a single completed deck."
"What are the odds that the 8 of spades and the 9 of spades would both be found ripped in half, years and miles apart. It is unlikely that those odds could be calculated with any precision, but I dunno look the Joker is a naked lady!!!"
"The collection started in 1990 when I was walking down the street near Penn, and I saw a playing card face down. It was the Jack of clubs. And so it began."
