1st Test New Zealand v Australia Feb 29-Mar 4 0830hrs @ the Basin Reserve

[Around the Wicket]

Great catch from Smith but still shameful for Young getting out to a part time spinner like Head.

Regardless being a part timer.. that wasn't a bad ball.

 

[Joffaboy]

Isn't Phillips a part timer?

"Part timer" that averages 33, strike rate of 56. More the Joe Root type of spinner, not frontline, but better than part time.

BJ thinking that KL Rahul was a chance for most catches for a non-keeper in Test cricket was next level stupid. Just forgetting that Rahul Dravid existed.

Mitchell is batting with the bat handle between his cheeks.

 

[Joffaboy]

Kayo just shat itself

Not even Marnus would review that if he was captain.

Alex, I can deal with crap shots if you're the best gloveman in the country.

Moments like that make me question if you're the best gloveman in the country, deflection or no.

 

[The Lobbster]

Watching Mitchell right now is like watching someone slowly drown. Small miracle he’s not already out

 

[Joffaboy]

Anybody who thinks that was Carey's miss has no idea.

No keeper is taking that. If they are it’s through sheer luck. Basically deflected from leg stump to off stump

 

[NoWuckingFurries]

It would have been overturned anyway even if Erasmus gave that out.

Ravindra surely would have reviewed it.

I had misunderstood the rule.

i had thought umpire assume its going straight, as in straight towards the wicket. But i hadn't realise it meant continue the trajectory.

my mistake

Sorry, but I've known more than a few keepers who'd absolutely have taken that.

 

[grumbleguts]

He's the only specialist keeper I can ever recall regularly taking the gear off throughout matches & bowling long spells.

He once topped the county cricket bowling averages for half a season, while also having taken the mist catches up to that point.

I remember during an ashes test in England, a commentator saying, "no wonder Australia have the wood on England over here, their backup keeper is the best bowler in the county competition."

 

[grumbleguts]

No you haven't.

 

[grumbleguts]

Bowled leggies right?

Yes.

 

[Joffaboy]

No you haven't.

His gloves were exactly where the ball would have been if not for the 90 degree deflection.

Daryl living dangerously, he has been out of action for the last few weeks with an injury though so it's understandable that he is a bit rusty.

 

[k31th]

Steve Smith did well to even get close to that one.

 

[Gethelred]

No you haven't.

Yes, I have.

You're welcome to disagree, but I think I'd know what I saw GG.

 

[Joffaboy]

Said an hour ago 3 slips and a gully

If only he had Dustin Fletchers reach.

Yes, has to be 3 slips on this pitch.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

I thought the rule was if it hits you on the full in front of the stumps the angle sort of gets taken out of it and you assume it’s going straight? I must be making that up?

It was until they brought DRS in

 

[Joffaboy]

Yes, has to be 3 slips on this pitch.

Would think so, but he is WTC and WC captain, could be controversial but he may know more about it than me.
