Black Caps v Australia

[barbarian]

Too many short/wide balls that can easily be left. When it's moving this much you don't need to overdo it - put the ball adjacent to the stumps and make the batsman play.

Plus the best way to get Smith and Khawaja early is LBW. How many balls so far have been hitting the stumps? I'd wager less than 10.

Ugly, and going to be uglier I fear

[JK]

Woudnt mind a wicket

[No Quarter]

No wickets yet put Aussie firmly on top at this stage. Still, a couple of quick wickets can change things very quickly, but Aus will be very happy right now.

[No Quarter]

Not a great review given the angle, always had to be missing. Getting a bit desperate I think.

[Donsteppa]

Let's hope Kane can bat for all of Day 3 & 4...

[BerniesCorner]

Smith out

[BerniesCorner]

O'Rourke has been the best bowler

[Donsteppa]

A great dismissal for wordplay. Loose Bus Change dismissed by Cougar Lion.

[Virgil]

Henry what a fucking ball!

[Gunner]

Gee we’ve bowled well after lunch,

2/26 from 13 overs.

88/3 now

[Chris B.]

Nice bowling, Matt.

There were a couple of balls by Kuggeleijn - one that took off and the next that kept low - that seemed to unsettle Khawaja a bit.

Not to mention getting Smith wasn’t that far from lunch in the first session
Gone from 60 odd for none to 88/3

[No Quarter]

Really good fight back. Henry is becoming quite a critical part of our attack these days, he's been really good today.

[Gunner]

Oh yes boy!

This has been a fucking outstanding session of bowling.

89/4

[Virgil]

Travis Heads last few test scores resemble binary

[Gunner]

Gotta take full advantage and grab another couple of wickets before tea, cause you can bet the house on the fact these fullas will fight back and get on top at some stage.

[Cyclops]

Marsh is going for it. Will be a good test for O'Rourke, as long as he keeps his line and length there will be chances.

[Canes4life]

Need to roll Mitchell asap

Marsh is in a rich vein of form and the pressure is off in terms of his place in the side. Seeing it like beach balls
