<p>Jeez I love Usman Khawaja. Don't think I've seen such a dominant summer, he just never looks like getting out. And such a strong bottom hand...</p>

<p>The Waj is in the form of his life, and nearly anyone else's while we're at it. This is his fourth first-innings century in a row, and his first overseas. Takes some doing.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Need to bat to 550 (seems to be Smith's magic number) but we're yet to bowl an evening session at this point, so not sure what Smith will do there.</p> -

<p>Whaaaaat da fuck ? he's a god damn bona fide comic genius !</p> -
You'd think they'd bat out to get a lead by 400+ and back themselves to bowl NZ out again tomorrow or early Monday

<p>Having not seen the wicket perform this morning, I'm only going off what cricinfo are saying. And that sums up as "not much". Boult got a bit of swing, but our only noted swing bowler is Jackson Bird and he's having a 'mare.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So putting NZ back in first thing tomorrow - who will have learned their lessons about chasing leather with bat AND ball - is asking for trouble.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Bat today and most of tomorrow if possible. Put NZ in late on Day 3, for a short-sharp attack at the top order. Then use morning conditions on Day 4 to try and get into the middle before attrition takes care of the tail.</p> -
<p>The caps are gonna need to show more guts than Steve Hansen in a pair of speedos to get out of this. Some serious soul searching from the top order in particular. I did predict another umpiring controversy would dog the series, didn't predict it on fucken day one though! gutted for Bracewell, he's this generations Danny Morrison, bowls well, beats guys but has fuck all luck compared to others.</p>

<p>Now 1000 Test runs for The Waj in his 14th match.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And some stat about Voges - if he gets to 123 it'll be the most runs a batsman has scored between dismissals, beating Sachin. Unlikely :think:</p>

<p>It's not a stat I'll be acknowledging, he already fucken got out late yesterday.</p> -

<p>Well he did it, and averages 2 short of Bradman. Fuck sake, where have you been hiding this guy ?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A couple might still be early in their careers but four Australian batsmen average over 50......I thought this team wasn't supposed to be great ?</p>
