Watto in Krejza out, if thats how you spell it

 

[NZTailender]

Watson's in, Krejza will carry the drinks.

**** yeah! for Watto being in. at Krezja not being there for easy runs.

 

[_Ed_]

Haddin at 8, Lee at 9. Imposing.

 

[Johnners]

Yessssssssss Watto

Decent depth batting wise itbt.

 

[_Ed_]

Mills has been dropped.

That bowling really looks thin.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

No Mills...

Tubby talking about Shane Bond - far out Tubs, how far behind are you?

 

[Johnners]

No mills, shades of no Malinga?

 

[Uppercut]

Mills has been dropped.

That bowling really looks thin.

Really? Jesus, on this pitch. Where did you find that out?

EDIT: Just saw. What a shocker.

 

[NZTailender]

Mills has been dropped.

**** me, just keeps getting better and better with our selections.

He had a poor tour of England and Bangladesh, but has been our best seamer in the past two years. Great faith shown there.

Good to see Southee in the mix though.

Edit: the batting looks thin as well as the bowling. McCullum at 5, Elliott in the side at 7, Mills dropped. **** off.

NZ in Australia was the fist test series I really actively followed esp after Mgrath and Diz put on that momentous hundred odd 10th wicket partnership. Anyone know which online radio service is running live coverage?

 

[Speersy]

As big of a Watto fan I am, I am dissapointed the selectors haven't shown faith in Krejza. We need a spinner in the side, and this can't be good for his confidence. If Watto makes runs, takes wickets who are we going to drop when we need a spinner?

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Bahaha. I've missed the Australian summer!

"Swisse...Multivites...when...I'm...on...99...not...out"

 

[_Ed_]

NZ won the toss, will bowl.

Nasser in 2002 comes to mind...

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

New Zealand falling into the tourist trap of bowling first.

Aussies to be 3-350 by stumps.

 

[inbox24]

New Zealand 1 Aaron Redmond, 2 Jamie How, 3 Jesse Ryder, 4 Ross Taylor, 5 Brendon McCullum (wk), 6 Daniel Flynn, 7 Grant Elliott, 8 Daniel Vettori (capt), 9 Tim Southee, 10 Iain O'Brien, 11 Chris Martin.

I really feel Flynn should bat at 5 and maybe separate the aggressors Ryder, Taylor and McCullum.

Won the toss and bowl? Sounds dodgy, pitch isn't gonna offer that much movement, hopefully we can get through that.

Mitchell Johnson.

 

[Nate]

AWTA.

Although Fulton shouldn't have been dropped, am stoked to see Elliott in. Will star for NZ in the series imo. I hope so anyhow.

Test Cricket on 9! Excited as a schoolgirl here.

Don't get injured Watto! Would've preferred Crayfish tbh.

 

[NZTailender]

Jesus Christ when will touring captains learn that you should bat first at the Gabba 99% of the time.

DWTA, right call from Vettori. Even if it is a solid batting pitch it's not going to be any worse tomorrow or the next day. If it's good for bowlers, happy days.

Will play in Adelaide, I'm sure.
