NZ v Australia Test #2
-
<p>If the tail can somehow scrap their way through the rest of the day, the lead would be what - about 230-250 something like that?</p>
<p>Could be a tricky chase on day 5 if our bowlers manage to get it right.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>That is a couple of very big IF's involved in my moment of optimism.</p> -

<p>holy fuck, do you type shit out just to "hear" yourself? It was explained to you above why we thought he might have made a difference. You've ignored it and basically gone down the "he's not Warne, so who cares" path. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>His average makes fuck all difference when the reason given was i thought he would be able to bowl economically and create wickets through pressure, something almost all our bowlers have failed to do this summer, most especially Craig. </p>

<p>Stop getting all internet tough guy when someone disagrees with you Noodle arms....all I'm pointing out is that he's unproven. Not only that he's gone for over 6 an over in ODIs. Less in tests obviously but three matches isn't much to gauge is it ? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>He might have made a difference, but I think Taylors record indicates he was more likely to.</p> -

<p>so, essentially, you are arguing with yourself. </p> -

<p>250 would be incredible.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm not sure how Henry is surviving at the moment (going by cricinfo).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I don't think the rest will fare much better.</p> -
<p>okay, new plan. At the change in innings, "accidentally" turn the sprinklers on, and just happen not to notice them for 5-10 minutes. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>If the Aussies kick up a stink, just blame the earthquakes, no one is going to be enough of a fluffybunny to call you on that. </p> -

<p>I miss Dilbert!</p> -
<p>I still give us half a chance here. Aussies have a strong top 5 but there are frailties there. Warner is hit and miss, Burns has a suspicious technique, Voges is still unproven against top quality attacks. I think this Aussie team is vulnerable if you can get a few early wickets.</p>

Well done BJ and Henry, 100 partnership up. Now a tea break. Man do we dare believe.......
