    I know they have their seniority and pecking order - but, O'Rourke should have opened the bowling!

      This is becoming a bit worrying, bowling first on a green wicket, almost an hour in and no wicket yet.

      sigh

        The Australian openers seem to be weathering the opening hour really well.

        Which is worrying since this is theoretically when the Black Caps should have the greatest advantage.

        We might be facing a troubling first innings score. But, hey, its test cricket. Things can change in a hurry (he says with optimism in his heart)

          Too many short/wide balls that can easily be left. When it's moving this much you don't need to overdo it - put the ball adjacent to the stumps and make the batsman play.

          Plus the best way to get Smith and Khawaja early is LBW. How many balls so far have been hitting the stumps? I'd wager less than 10.

                No wickets yet put Aussie firmly on top at this stage. Still, a couple of quick wickets can change things very quickly, but Aus will be very happy right now.

                  Not a great review given the angle, always had to be missing. Getting a bit desperate I think.

                          A great dismissal for wordplay. Loose Bus Change dismissed by Cougar Lion.

                              Gee we’ve bowled well after lunch,

                              2/26 from 13 overs.

                              88/3 now

                                Nice bowling, Matt.

                                There were a couple of balls by Kuggeleijn - one that took off and the next that kept low - that seemed to unsettle Khawaja a bit.

                                    Really good fight back. Henry is becoming quite a critical part of our attack these days, he's been really good today.

                                          Gotta take full advantage and grab another couple of wickets before tea, cause you can bet the house on the fact these fullas will fight back and get on top at some stage.
