<p>They had Aus 8- 2 in Wellington and 21-1 here.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The fact that the NZ tail has scored well in both of NZ's first innings (our No11 Boult got scores of 24 and 14no) suggests that the baking hot sun we have been having in NZ this summer changed the pitches nature after the first session.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Well that and the fact that Boult would be a 9 in many teams. We may have given the world Chris Martin but BCs as a whole have always batted well down the order.</p> -

Isnt rain a chance of having a say in this test?</p></blockquote>
<br>
Rain was the forecast last night, but the radar looks mainly clear of rain and just an overcast day ahead. -
<p>ah just the weatherman this morning said there was a chance of rain that might affect the test...but then weathermen and Met Service in NZ are notoriously accurate!</p>

<p>I am loving this commentary team at the moment.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The two aussies that are visiting to the team are fantastic. The can take good stick and give it too.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Doull, Styris and non AB aussie are excellent as a three</p> -
<p>Herb seems to be playing very much within himself - strike rate of only about 25. Good stuff.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Kanetrain going well, lets hope these two keep knocking off little targets, getting through to lunch unscathed will be the priority now.</p> -
<p>Not hating Lyon either.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Having a teasing battle with Anderson.</p> -

<p>That was actually the argument of a caller to Radio Sport this morning - he's convinced the only way the Aussies can get early reverse swing is through tampering. He sounded like an older, even angrier version of former regular caller to Radio Sport, Zane "They've got rocks in their head" Loonybin.</p> -

<p>Let's do a whip around and offer Wasim or Waqar a bowling coach gig. Surely living in clean, green NZ is more appealing than Pakistan ?</p> -

<p>If I remember correctly, they were both caught on the beach in the West Indies enjoying some green material. Perhaps we could provide them with the best weed the Coromandel has to offer?</p> -
<p>One for that Stats nerds.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>For a test average of 50 Kane needs:</p>
<p>160 if he gets out</p>
<p>or</p>
<p>110 not out (which he'll piss in if he's not out in this innings)</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>PS - Jinx fairy, this is NOT a jinx!!!!!!</p> -

<p>Virgil you seeing this ?</p> -
That reverse swing is fucking insane. Another LBW overturned due to an inside edge.<br><br>
Now Aussie are giving the umpire a spray. Errr. Hazlewood: "Who the fuck is the 3rd umpire".<br><br>
Boy they are getting frustrated. -
Did Smith catch it?

Yep, bunch of fluffybunnies over that one. -
