NZ v Australia Test #1

[hydro11]

<p>The problem is that the umpire said no ball too early. If the umpire waited until the ball had already clipped the stumps and then said no ball, it would be logical to review.</p>

<br>
Well that's to be expected though. Did he sook again like the other night?<br><br>
Back to the no ball and the concept of being able to change your shot. Won't comment on the ability to do so in the reaction time. But if i was going to change my shot on a call of "no ball" am not sure I'd change it to a leave...

[TeWaio]

Not a single chance in the first hour. Ball is travelling gunn barrel straight and pitch looks a dream to bat on. Could be a long day..

[hydro11]

<p>Yeah - Australia need to bat us out of the game here. Should be looking at getting to around 500 and just giving us no chance to get back into it.</p>

[booboo]

Anyone know if there's a radio commentary on line?<br><br>
iHeart radio app mot playing Radiosport feed. Wonder if someone else has Aussie rights to commentary?<br><br>
And doesn't seem to be on ABC grandstand <br><br>
???

[booboo]

DRS ... right call. Not out. Ok to have a go though with 16 overs to the new ball

[No Quarter]

Not a single thing has gone right for us this test, from losing the toss, to poor shot selection in the top order, to drop catches, to dodgy umpiring. It's been a fucking disaster.

[barbarian]

<p>Jeez I love Usman Khawaja. Don't think I've seen such a dominant summer, he just never looks like getting out. And such a strong bottom hand...</p>

<p>Yeah - it's looking like an absolute shellacking. Oz already 55 ahead, still 7 wickets standing. They'd be a bit disappointed if they end up only leading by 250 on the first innings.</p>

<p>The Waj is in the form of his life, and nearly anyone else's while we're at it. This is his fourth first-innings century in a row, and his first overseas. Takes some doing.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Need to bat to 550 (seems to be Smith's magic number) but we're yet to bowl an evening session at this point, so not sure what Smith will do there.</p>

<p>Whaaaaat da fuck ? he's a god damn bona fide comic genius !</p>

[taniwharugby]

You'd think they'd bat out to get a lead by 400+ and back themselves to bowl NZ out again tomorrow or early Monday

<p>Having not seen the wicket perform this morning, I'm only going off what cricinfo are saying. And that sums up as "not much". Boult got a bit of swing, but our only noted swing bowler is Jackson Bird and he's having a 'mare.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So putting NZ back in first thing tomorrow - who will have learned their lessons about chasing leather with bat AND ball - is asking for trouble.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Bat today and most of tomorrow if possible. Put NZ in late on Day 3, for a short-sharp attack at the top order. Then use morning conditions on Day 4 to try and get into the middle before attrition takes care of the tail.</p>

[MN5]

<p>The caps are gonna need to show more guts than Steve Hansen in a pair of speedos to get out of this. Some serious soul searching from the top order in particular. I did predict another umpiring controversy would dog the series, didn't predict it on fucken day one though! gutted for Bracewell, he's this generations Danny Morrison, bowls well, beats guys but has fuck all luck compared to others.</p>

[NTA]

<p>Now 1000 Test runs for The Waj in his 14th match.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And some stat about Voges - if he gets to 123 it'll be the most runs a batsman has scored between dismissals, beating Sachin. Unlikely :think:</p>
