Cricket: NZ vs Aus

It shouldn't be up to us. It's either allowed or it's not. Umpires should make the call.

No. Not every game of cricket is played with professional umpires. Having a clear ruling on taped up bowling hands is far more effective.
Much more logical to give the receivers of a taped up hand deciding it's use.
Don't likeit? tough, take the bandage off then -
Would have liked Raval and Latham to press on a while longer, do not like when we lose multiple wickets in a short amount of time. Add to that, Phillips was bloody lucky not to be the third. But we got a solid start, at least. I'm liking Blundell in the opener role.
I have very high expectations of NZA. 300 runs on the board at least.

Laws clearly state, no bandaging or tape on bowling hand. Will the sportsmanship team NZ let him tape it?
I fkn hope not!
We are too generous.
Chance to get him out of the game or at the very least to make him take it off so its harder for him, but no.

What would Aus do? It's not allowed, so tell him to take it off. It is effectively cheating - again.

@kev same here just south of Whangarei
Half way between, and the same. It is like a high level smog that is changing the light and it is starting to smell a bit smokey in a sort of drizzle. Not normal.

I'm watching Smithy on a pisstake show called The Professors Night Watchman. And he's killing it. Just a genuine, funny bloke.

Saw that too. Best thing that’s happened on this tour...

Yeah - though with a direct hit and he would have been metres out.
Just gifting them his wicket, though, when we're fighting for credibility!

These fuckers have been carrying on like that all series
@canefan I'm giving the batsmen a bit of benefit of the doubt, that this bowling has probably been relentlessly the best they've ever seen. But, there have been some soft dismissals and that was probably the softest.
Pattinson oversteps and Phillips has at least his third life.
