A bloke who can bowl over 140kmph consistently in Test cricket for NZ.... would promptly have to get injured.
Faark.

Have your trio agreed to slow down their bowling this weekend?

5 others in Aussie with three 100's in a row. Not sure on potential 150's. 1 player with 4 in a row

Well, on balance I"m OK with where we got them. 248/4 is in the game, and a couple of quick wickets makes a differnece. WE did well not to get smashed at the back end of the day.
First session tomorrow is critical. Good bowling and fielding from us makes a massive difference; if they get away, 500 is on the cards and we're out of the game.
Also, why the hell does a part timer like CdG look a better bowler than Ferguson/Southee? Wags is just a dead set legend, kind of like Brad Thorne for me - not a typical fast bowler at all, but a very smart and controlled one. Respect to the fella, it's awesome to have him in the team. Any bowler to gets an uncontrolled shot from Smith in his form should get that photograph on his wall
Going to be tasty tonight, can't wait

@nzzp Yeah - I always have in mind that 220/4 is pretty much par in the first innings unless the pitch or conditions are incredibly difficult. So the Aussies fractionally ahead, but not much in it.
Lachie needs to strap it up and run in once we get to their tail - that's when extra pace can be really handy - getting rid of bowlers who otherwise stick around for handy 30s or 50s.

Wags getting Warner and Smith is a big positive. He'll play the mind games with those two so great that he's got the upper hand early in the series.
That was a bad toss to lose though. 40 degree heat is going to sap anyone so the batting team always had an early advantage with that. We did OK in the end but I have Aus firmly ahead of the game at this stage.
Big question is how much of a road this pitch really is. Kane and Ross can handle the pace no problems so long as it's not moving off the pitch too much. Jeet won't last but Latham, Kane and Ross need to dig in to take this game deep and then see what happens with the pink ball.

@canefan No- I only heard the same thing as TeWaio - he's gone for an MRI scan.
The Aussie commentators were suggesting hopefully that maybe it might just be a cramp - but, that seems unlikely to me.
I'd imagine we won't see him bowling - my strap it up comment was tongue in cheek.

Southee's ball to get Wade made me do a sex wee in my jocks

Was amazeballs
Sounds like his second spell was a lot better than his first. Locky and Timmy didn't fill me with joy for the first few overs.

Bloody ockers have a special one in "loose bus change". Incredible innings and the partnership with Smith was enthralling test cricket.
Our tenacity, composure and discipline filled me with pride. No other team in the world could have stuck to it like we did in those batting conditions. Wags and Colin and latterly Timmy were top drawer and slinky performed a tough task admirably.
Honours close to even but Aus have runs on the board.
Comment from an Aussie today "we hammered you". "No, I thought we restricted you superbly". Yeah but you could've been hammered".
Jingoistic fucknuckles who know sod all are not solely the domain of All Black fans.Game on, advantage Australia, but some great kiwi attributes on display
