Australia v New Zealand 2nd Test at the MCG December 26-30

[HBF]

Looked like Smith was trying to get himself in Classic Catches with that dive.

He's already in.

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

Latham has actually shown some grit but it's pointless if he can't get it off the square

 

[Seedsfan]

Patto so stiff unlucky not to have Taylor than the drop of Latham

 

[deanc]

Umm what was that Smith. That was in Burns' area.

Tough one as Smith 'could of' just let it go to Burns, but as he was closer he reacted and in hindsight didn't even really need to dive...!!!

 

[philreich]

Cummins 57 wickets for the calendar year at around 19 per wicket. Phenomenal.

 

[Andrew Mc]

He's already in.

Already has it won and I'd prefer they go for them instead of standing there like statues. Which we saw some of when NZ were fielding, although a lot of that was due to horrible field placements.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

The birds are taking over the MCG commentary box. I don't mind that.

 

[philreich]

One of Cummins' great strengths is his strike rate - a wicket every 47 deliveries. If he can maintain that, we'll be bloody hard to beat.

falls short of Labs... interesting from a bouncer

Ha! I thought that was here. I often get miner birds sitting on my balcony rail having a chat. Just assumed it was the same.

Must be one sitting near an effects mike

 

[k31th]

Watling didn't know much about that shot... bounced extremely close to the stumps

 

[StillAtLarge]

No way is Broad 37

 

[swanssince2002]

Anyways how good is this bowling depth for Australia!

 

[Ekomaira]

No way is Broad 37

Anderson is 37, Broad is 33

 

[MJG14]

That was a beauty from Pattinson!

 

[Fabab]

Yeeha pattinson .

 

[k31th]

Patto-man! beautiful delivery

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

What a bunch of bunnies lel

 

[Wolfs]

I love having a great 4th pace bowler. That depth

 

[Ron The Bear]

Nearly unplayable.

 

[PhatBoy]

This is f***ing abysmal

 

[omarlittle1]

The ICC rankings are bogus. NZ are not even close to being the 2nd best team in the world. They're garbage.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Another easy wicket

 

[PT Bar None]

Good selection in Patto is shaping as
