“When the button was pressed”
Almost like, I don’t know, swapping the ball when the opposition is 0/135?

Not sure you could call this one a pitch at all . The toss was done on a 5 day pitch not day 1 of a pitch

You were more than happy to talk up bazball on the same pitch when it was a road a few days earlier. Now the same pitch deteriorates to something more balanced, England / bazball lose and your reaction is completely predictable.

The 1st test was the most boring game on a shocking pitch. It was only a traditional Pakistan meltdown that made the game have a result.

Would rather have the 2nd Test pitch used every day of the week.

Unless your team loses the toss

Come on lads Im pulling your legs playing the whinging pom and winding you up. In all truth I'm 95% Aussie but came here when I was 6 but as happens you tend to stick to your original teams through the good and bad just like we all do with the Kangas who I have followed since 1976. I do love my cricket though more than footy the last 5 years which is not surprising . Anyway looking towards some more banter especially with another Ashes on the horizon. Ill keep playing the whinging Pom for now and you can keep throwing darts but have mercy on me when bazball fails as Im really an Aussie now remember, well sort of except when it comes to cricket

What you talkin about, I thought the first test match was a great test match after the Pakistan first innings of 556. Before then I was calling it a crap wicket

Can someone please take the emoji option away from grandad.

Steady on young lad, Im not that old. I can still ride my bike up My Hotham and Falls Creek so Im probably fitter now than when I was playing footy at18 but that probably opens up another can of worms being a mamil . Tempted to drop a emoji in but I restrained myself this time

Why not? I suppose you will be off hobnobbing or galivanting around and too busy to help those of us on bigfooty who can't be bothered opening a crickinfo tab!!!

Busy in a different time zone.

Busy in a different time zone.

Shouldn't stop you from performing your conjugal duties. Lots of people on bigfooty rely on you for regular scores from the G.

I suppose Lomas will have to do it by himself.

India collapse from 3-408 to all out for 464. Kiwis need 107 for the win

I’ll be surprised if they walk it in. Should be a cracking finish tomorrow if they don’t get back on today due to the bad light.

If it ends up being close it will be one of the all time great test matches . Has been incredible to watch.

Don't put the moz on them Gerry. We want them to do it cruising - each opener making a 50!!

The new ball has been the most difficult time to bat in the game so far and the pitch doesn't look like it's breaking up. NZ should get it done if they can limit the damage of Bumrah's initial spell.

Great innings by that chunky lad Sarfaraz. It'll be interesting to see how he does down here later in the year. His technique could be a bit suspect on bouncy tracks but he's such a powerhouse and his eye is incredible.

 

[Samsquanch]

Vic sent in by NSW. 1/63 after 28 overs. Australian NSW bowling attack appears to be impotent at the moment.

SA also sent in and are 0/66 against Siberia.

 

[Samsquanch]

Harris is out. 2/71.

Harris needs a physio. Is there a doctor in the house?

 

[Samsquanch]

 

[Samsquanch]

Dragon Fly attack going on in NZ.

Not looking at the scores at the G.

 

[roo blitz]

NZ on track for a great win after shaky start to the chase. Just quietly Bumrah going into this test match 170 wkt at 20.18. That average is up there with the best of all time.

Disappointing collapse by the vics
