[Bovidae]

<p>BMac has confirmed Henry is playing so it's between Craig and Wagner for the last bowling spot.</p>

Probably makes you stronger ... bastards

I'll be very surprised if McCullum hasn't strode to the crease by lunchtime.

Trivia to distract from Guppy basically being dropped twice in 2 balls...<br><br>
Baz is oldest in the team at 34, who is 2nd oldest?

[No Quarter]

Fark it's doing plenty. The Aus bowling lineup has done well this series but they've had by far the best of the conditions. Southee, Boult and Henry must be incredibly frustrated to not be out there right now.

[Mokey]

<p>Bloody hell, Guptill.</p>

[booboo]

Glad we won the toss and batted. Looks a flat deck. Ball's not doing much ...

[booboo]

Bugger.<br><br>
Guppy put out of our misery

[booboo]

No ball?

[NTA]

<p>You get the feeling that, despite early promise, this is one of those days where the edges aren't going to be found :think:</p>

[booboo]

Nup. It's ok. Guppy gooorne

[Mokey]

<p>My post was three minutes early. Guptill you idiot.</p>
<p>And we're under pressure within the first half hour. Yay.</p>

[No Quarter]

The toss has been too important this series.

<p>Should be checked by the Third Ump as an automatic thing I reckon. </p>
