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

[wagstaff]

Good grief, NZ comms suggesting (hoping?) that Oz should declare. How embarrassing.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Josh taps Southee down to fine leg & walks through for the single.

 

[icyflakes]

If green has a good ipl he will get picked for the WC.

It's kind of crazy he is so highly regarded in the IPL when you consider his entire thing in test cricket is taking a while to find his feet!

 

[Aussie pie]

Warney would still be wanting to declare.

No Warney would still be complaining about something that happened yesterday, he would never let anything rest he’d go on and on and on about things.

Absolute disaster of a session from NZ.

LOL at the commentators begging for a declaration. It's the morning of day 2 and we're scoring at a good clip, wtf would we declare?

 

[grumbleguts]

Yeah patient at first, then scored very quickly.


BTW I'd love to see stats on batter's 150s. I recon they are a better guide of a good contributor than centuries or double centuries.

I think 137's

 

[Bedi]

Green's fair dinkum a good chance of getting a double ton here.

 

[Gough]

Green's batting average is now higher than his bowling average.

 

[Around the Wicket]

It's kind of crazy he is so highly regarded in the IPL when you consider his entire thing in test cricket is taking a while to find his feet!

He can hit a long ball and he'll be playing Indian medium pacers so I get it but they'll have to bat him in the Top 3 surely.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Why the * would Australia think about declaring lol

Get the openers to the middle twice before and after lunch

 

[JimmyBC]

Southee bowls lots of poop

 

[kickazz]

Green's batting average is now higher than his bowling average.

The true test for a legit all-rounder.

 

[icyflakes]

Just a reminder we're only 90 odd minutes from when we finished the day at 279/9.

 

[Black Diamond]

might sound crazy but this is covering up the fact our middle order failed yet again, scared to think how the summer will go v india

Green is middle order.


Just stirring.

 

[Woody15]

This level of frustration is something that limited overs cricket can never replicate. Last wicket partnerships of this length are just mind-blowingly demoralising for the bowling side.

 

[Tyberious Funk]

No Warney would still be complaining about something that happened yesterday, he would never let anything rest he’d go on and on and on about things.

Let's be honest, Warnie would probably be ragging on Mitch Starc.

 

[wagstaff]

NZ being demoralised and humiliated against Australia in international cricket... such a reliable provider over the past 30 years.

 

[Aussie pie]

Kiwi tactics, let’s keep doing what’s not worked for an hour and a half.

 

[Plugger35]

As one dimensional as he may be it’s hard to imagine Neil Wagner would have made this attack worse in this situation

We could sure do with him now.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Let's be honest, Warnie would probably be ragging on Mitch Starc.

Most the time the Starc criticism was fair lol

 

[tigland]

How many wickets have we taken this morning?

checks score

 

[Around the Wicket]

Was Wagner injured or just left out?

 

[Belnakor]

Who's spot does he take, the line up is pretty settled.

Smith won’t get picked I don’t think

 

[Westend]
