2nd Test Australia v NZ @ the WACA 10:30am WST

I'm too young to remember cricket in the 70's (gutted I missed it tbh) but I've read up on it, watched a lot of docos, interviews etc and everything points to Ian Chappell being a man's man both on and off the field.

People should be careful not to complain too much about him either. Given the 'talent' that has infiltrated the commentary box in recent seasons, could you imagine who would replace the wise old head? I shudder to think of it.

The major complaint is the directive to talk non stop - I think most could be reasonable- but by being forced to talk non stop they run out of material and end up talking drivel.

Ball change is long overdue here

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Johnson with another!

 

[2006_Eagles]

Good first nut that.

First nut is the deepest

Wow!

 

[kozi]

Plugger35 has just shat himself

 

[Kennedy Parker]

Vintage Johnson

 

[Ron]

Great stuff. I will seriously miss this type of bowling. When Mitch is on, there is no better sight in cricket.

 

[Mancey]

This is what the WACA used to be like.

That pitch was an absolute disgrace, its a good thing they fixed it up after that debacle.

I agree this one has been a road, but that was cracking on day one

 

[Juddy88]

Could see that coming, good work.

 

[Allezjuel]

How late can we go before play stops?

 

[kozi]

#believe

 

[Bucking Beads]

Yes!! Burns with the catch and MJ has 2

Mitch wanting to go out with a bang.

 

[boncer34]

Good to see him not limp into retirement.

 

[The_Reaper]

GOT HIM

 

[2006_Eagles]

Up to Williamson and Taylor to rescue us again.

Or more rain.

My washing doe

 

[boncer34]

Up to Williamson and Taylor to rescue us again.

Or more rain.

No way we get you from here.

 

[kozi]

This partnership needs to be broken in the next few overs. They might just fold like a house of cards after that

 

[2006_Eagles]

No way we get you from here.

Windy Hill to East Perth is a bit far

 

[Kram]

This is what the WACA used to be like.

I was fortunate to see him live just once at my first game of cricket I went to the WACA for a one dayer v Sri Lanka in 1996. Was pretty funny to see this massive lanky bloke steaming in getting massive bounce bowling to short people like Kaluwitharana and Jayasuria.

No extension because of the rain delay?

 

[2006_Eagles]

Mitch wanting to go home to a bang.

I'd say so

 

[kozi]

Should be 10 men around the bat for an over or 2
