Cricket: NZ vs Aus

Fuuuuucckk why did we bowl???
-
@No-Quarter supposedly the pitch gets better for batting over time, so the best time to bowl is first.
I'd have batted though.

Yeah, batting last is fraught with danger regardless of the pitch. Just needed to bat first and get 350+ and she's all on.

That "bat smash" sensor thing, or whatever they are calling it, looks interesting. Bat speed, angle, etc measured from the bat itself. Pretty cool.

Yeah, would have been interesting to see with Baz, his bat speed would be next level for some of his shots.

Kane butchers a run out. Just had to bounce it to Southee. Pretty disappointing stuff at this level, what a let off.

That's so disappointing - a chance to get their form batsman and almost open up an end (in relative terms). One thing I noticed in Perth was that the Aussies seemed to hit the stumps more than us.
-
Southee bowling well an appeal for LBW but it could have come off anything.
-
I like the tactic of keeping it outside off and frustrating Smith. Getting drawn into attacking his stumps just feeds him easy runs.
-
Shane Warne clearly doesn’t know where the shoulder blades are....
-
I lean towards agreeing with the umpire on the denied run. Smith just turned around and it him in the back, that's hardly evasive action. Not exactly controversial and it's one run, get over it.

I'm listening to Radio Sport, and Coney clearly doesn't think much of Santner...
He's far from the only one

Comms: "... if Santer can just get one to turn and put doubt in the batsmen..."
Yes, if only.

You'd think they haven't seen him bowl before.

He's all class in the shorter forms and commands his spot there, but his game doesn't suit test cricket and I'm not sure it ever will. Bit like Harris.
