**Official** New Zealand in Australia

A bad decision? Not following on TV.

No, it was the correct decision.

And another great decision by Rudi there as he spots the inside edge

 

[Ikki]

Welp, another one. This one done and dusted me thinks.

 

[thierry henry]

I haven't seen the replay but I'm gonna say that was a SHOCKER

 

[Precambrian]

We let Australia's tail get about 70 runs too many and that's a killer really

It's seriously time for McCullum to play a genuine test match innings but I highly doubt he will

Really. I don't care if he plays 20-20 cricket also here, just want the remaining 270 runs to be knocked off. A McCullum 150 can surely help.

 

[pasag]

Rudi's the most random LBW umpire.

 

[Rant0r]

Bowling wins matches, batting saves them for the most part. We didn't win in India because our bowlers had zero penetration. But I agree we could have done better with the bat as I said 'we were below par and it was disappointing at times'.

i consider bowling more important than batting towards success, hence australia are struggling post warne and mcgrath, however, you won't win many test matches making 200 in the first innings, apart from the current one

ffs, that looked pretty marginal. Needed that to go our way.

i thought it was outside the line to the naked eye, but on the replay it looks fair enough, back pad, always dangerous, seen worse

 

[thierry henry]

Waiting....looked way to high...test my credentials

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Nah that's nooooot out. Heals at his ****wit best.

Obviously.

 

[thierry henry]

No, good decision! Kudos to Rudi

That one kept amazingly low

 

[Ikki]

Hawkeye says OUT!

 

[Rant0r]

i heard a saying once, 'the bat is for batting'

having said that, how far did that move ? good luck batsmen

 

[inbox24]

Need Taylor before today ends.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Crap, a NZ loss like this hurts even more when you are abstaining from drinking booze.

A miracle is needed.

 

[thierry henry]

It was out

It looked too high but the side-on view revealed how low it kept. Inconsistent bounce all of a sudden?

 

[Precambrian]

McCullum idiot, padding up to an incoming delivery. Daymn. Gone! NZ can look forward to the next test now.

 

[NZTailender]

If Flynn and Taylor can make some runs that will help their confidence for the next test and gives them some more experience, I won't mind if we lose.

 

[thierry henry]

It's absolutely uncanny how Clark can make almost every ball do something off the seam

 

[Rant0r]

Obviously.

oops, typo, i don't think anyone will win making 20 on the first innings.... 200 sounds more like it

 

[thierry henry]

McCullum- still a bit of a fraud tbh
