Cricket: NZ vs Aus

[kiwiinmelb]

Are we a chance here ?

I’m an mcc member, got shit on today and tomorrow, might head in on the weekend, just hope it’s not looking ugly by then, that will be my luck.

Absolute gem from Boult!

Bring on the golden arm of the park cricketer

Won't be too far away I would think.

[Mokey]

Just saw a clip of Boult's wicket. Fuck that was a PEACH. (Just wish it was Warner he'd done it to.)

[Donsteppa]

I wonder if Santner will try a variation that turns today.

Not sure that is in his repertoire.

Got to get a wicket before lunch.

[Donsteppa]

Bah and humbug. Lots of near opportunities, but...

Yep. Warner, Labusha, Larbuch, Lububach the Aussie number 3 and Smith are just going to kill us if they get any time and the pitch already looks like it is getting easier.

[Mokey]

Wagner strikes, Southee takes a great catch, and we don't have to see Warner doing his little five-foot baby roo jump for a 50.

On a side note, the Australian fans getting pissy on Twitter at NZ fans because of booing is comical.

[Chris B.]

Needed Marnus to nick one of those that he nearly did.

A bit disappointing to get Burns so early and then only get one more having put the Aussies in. The Oz commentators saying we really needed three having done that and I agree.

Aussie comms also having a go at Nigel "that could have been anything" Llong over one a run decision about avoidance of a bouncer that was deemed a no run.

Have a look at some test deciding decisions that he has made!

[Snowy]

@Chris-B One more would certainly have been nice but they haven't run away with it yet.

[Chris B.]

@Snowy Yeah - it's not horrendous - but, you want to make decent inroads, because the choice you've made is based on doing so. I want them at least five down by tea.

[Xpat61]

@Chris-B
Five down would be very handy!
Record crow too...

[Donsteppa]

Should’ve played Raval as our spinner #ReverseJinx

[No Quarter]

Fuuuuucckk why did we bowl???

[Godder]

@No-Quarter supposedly the pitch gets better for batting over time, so the best time to bowl is first.

I'd have batted though.

[Chris B.]

FFS Kane - take the gift!!!

Nearly three stumps to aim at and Marnus stranded - can't hit!
