That's the tailenders gone then.

 

[Richard]

Let's hope Taylor is as awful as the first-innings and we get How soon. Then we're in this.

 

[Richard]

Looked worse than the Vaughan one.

Bucknor, you old fool.

It was out. Granted, so was that Vaughan one, but you can't moan about a plumb lbw being given out just becuase one that should've been given earlier wasn't.

Taylor off-the-mark 1st ball again.

 

[Leslie1]

Odds on for another Black Caps batting collapse and we still draw.

 

[S.P. Fleming]

bloody foxtel in Australia arent showing the first hour, what was the lbw like?

I actually thought it swung back too much on first look.

I'm talking about being consistent, which Bucknor isn't.

Haha, indeed.

 

[Halfpast_Yellow]

Ouch. That ball change worked well.

Pitched on leg, swinging in. Going on to hit leg stump.

I thought it was marginal, ITBT. But on looking again, it was plumb.

I'm talking about being consistent, which Bucknor isn't.

He's made 1 error in this match, so far. Granted, this is probably only about the third day in terms of actual overs bowled. But he, and Taufel, have both had a good game so far IMO.

Daym, almost another one there. Right smack in the middle of the gap between second and third slip.

 

[GIMH]

Will be very interested in seeing McCullum's approach if and when he gets in. He can potentially bat us out the game, at the same time if he has a brain explosion we are right in it.

Sorry if it's been said, cbf catching up the last 200 or so posts

That's more like it from Taylor.

Perhaps remarkably, it hasn't.

Same thing applies to Taylor too, of course - as he smacks another boundary. Then plays and misses.

Haha yeah, Netball. Gutted.

 

[wpdavid]

Long spells for Anderson & Sidebottom. Too long, imo.
And Panesar vs Taylor could be interesting.

 

[GIMH]

Monty bowled well last night IMO, interesting to see how they play him today though

 

[Richard]

I... hate... dropped... catches.

Strauss has never been completely convincing this game.

 

[Richard]

Too long with that bloody useless ball that did sod-all, was the problem.

 

[_Ed_]

Phew. Would have been gutted to see How fall four short of a well-deserved 50.

 

[Manee]

I've said it before, but Anderson is bowling a very good spell.
