NZ v Australia Test #1

[taniwharugby]

<p>Voges-Illingworth made a double and Anderson with a no ball on his 6th ball gives him a C & B on his 7th ball, Aus 9 down</p>

[MN5]

<p>Great double hundy from Voges. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Kinda reminds me of Mike Hussey and Jimmy Adams who both started their test careers with freakish averages that dipped ( although neither this freakish ). WIth Voges when the inevitable form slump occurs they may look at his age and drop him but his test career could still end with an average around 75 or so. </p>

[Virgil]

<p>If only we made another 400 - 450, we would have been right in this test.</p>

[taniwharugby]

<p>Craig gets Voges 235 C & B to finish with an overal lead of 379.</p>

[taniwharugby]

<p>jeez that is daft having to go in, get kitted up to bat, come out for 1 over and then go have lunch! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Commons sense would say 'have lunch 10 minutes early'</p>

[booboo]

If i was Smith i would have declared and made NZ face about 3 overs.

[Donsteppa]

Right, someone remind these top order blokes that it's not a T20 innings that they're batting in. <br><br>
The whites should have been a give away, but apparently not on Friday.

[No Quarter]

We've seen this group of players fight tooth and nail from this sort of situation in the past couple of years. I expect them to do the same today.

<p>Guptill gives his wicket away. Idiot!</p>

[Godder]

Latham has 50.

[No Quarter]

Don't want to put the jinx on but Latham has been very impressive today. He got out defending one he didn't need to play at in the first innings, so Hazlewood has put the ball in the same channel relentlessly today and he has left pretty much all of them, nulifying Hazlewoods threat. Exactly what I want to see from our openers.<br><br>
In saying that.... I'm not too fussed about Guptill's dismissal, he's a confidence player so needs to play his shots. I think the way he played should probably be the blue print for him moving forward.

[No Quarter]

And in typing that Kane is gone caught behind. Huge wicket.

[Siam]

<p>Best bowler in the game that Hazelwood fella. Quite like his demeanour off the field as well. </p>

[Siam]

<p>Too far Nick</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nothing funny about state sponsored terroism when people die. Nothing funny about the Rainbow Warrior mate</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>But yes, your cricket team is very very good. All credit to them</p>

[Glath]

<p>It will be fine. We're due another record breaking Watling 6th wicket partnership at this ground.</p>

[taniwharugby]

<p>but at leats they maintained thier positive attitude toward batting...</p>

[No Quarter]

Fuck. That is all.
