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

[Jamurp]

Fantastic effort by Phillips today, and yesterday with the bat too.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Kiwis have been top notch in the field.

 

[Plugger35]

Just our luck with O'Rourke going off injured just when he was bowling well.

And now Phillips gets Green to get a 5'fer, what a rollercoaster of emotions.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Green's going to run out of partners again isn't he?

Nope

 

[Westend]

damn well played green dog

 

[Gethelred]

Fair catch.

He's bowled beautifully today.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

I don't expect keepers to have the same strong technique or proficiency, they have othr aspects they have to focus on. but we do expect some brains in their batting.

Number 7 is a batting position, and as such, expected to produce runs. It is usually occupied by wicketkeepers because their batting ability demands it. As well as Carey is keeping, unless he starts putting runs on the board, his position will be tenuous.

 

[danielnajdek]

Imagine if Lyon can't spin us to victory after this bloke has taken 5.

 

[BACCS]

Honestly if Phillips is bowling like this, NZ will be lucky to get past 200 against Gaz and our pace bowlers. This pitch does not look easy to score on.

 

[Bob Neil]

A lot of very soft dismissals in this dig - bloody hell.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Kiwis have been top notch in the field.

Dropped our 2nd best batsman in Lyon yesterday but today has been a special effort.

 

[Jamurp]

Where was this yesterday morning from NZ, much better today, too little too late.

 

[Westend]

Inglis is a mediocre first class batter with an average of 33 after 50 odd games. You'd think he batted like Virat Kohli if you read this board.

no but he is better than carey thats the point

 

[Substance]

Given them a sniff instead of burying them. Don't like it even if we bowl em out for 200 again. Poor mindset

 

[Stax on the mill]

Green in front ATM. But Phillips making a big play for MOTM. Really impressive performance.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Australia may as well have declared at lunch.

 

[k31th]

lol Cougarlion

 

[peternorth]

since lyon, its 5/97?

 

[Moonwatcher]

And then that.

 

[Scorpus]

Kuggelligielgielen is a genuine spud

 

[NSWCROW]

bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

But fk me, pat, bit of composure plz

Inglis made 47 in the Shield yesterday, though I feel like he's gonna have to start making 100s to put serious pressure on him with the next Test so far away.

Ahhh, not sure what you’ve seen today to suggest we aren’t seeking quick runs. Rain forecast tomorrow too.

Ah, rain...Then maybe it's not so bad if we get bumbled out quickly & finish this match off today.

[BACCS]

Not sure what you've seen to suggest we are.

Gazza was swinging at every ball, Khawaja was trying to charge down the wicket and play reverse sweeps, Head played like he normally does. Have we been watching different matches?

 

[Topkent]

That was piss weak by the 'captain'
