**Official** New Zealand in Australia

[Johnners]

Hope Ponting starts up with Lee & Johnson next session, bit of teh pace from both ends after a break, might do the trick. Might do nothing either I guess.

 

[Zinzan]

Happier with this one tbh. We already knew NZ could bowl, but this is something else.

Precisely

You have vending machines with alcohol in them? We have to go to the bottle store in SA and if that is shut, there is literally nowhere legal where you can buy alcohol..

Yeah, one of the upsides of living here.
Never get asked for ID, alcohol and cigarettes available in vending machines, not that I smoke. Although, the alcohol ones are quite rare, the cigarette ones are on every corner.

Recently they introduced an ID card which you need to get in order to buy cigarettes from the machines, but not needed for alcohol. The alcohol one near my place actually has a Drivers License reader, but it works fine without it.

Anyways, enough with the useless Japan facts....
Early wicket after lunch?

gah?

Stedman and I were talking about him on MSN in early 2007. But your CW post is top-notch.

Well I went in search of tinnies and found none.. I've come back with a pint of water, really hoping it can see me through what is turning out to be my darkest hour.. Flagging here

Guys it's always normal for spinners to be hit all over the place on day 1 session 1. Especially when it's a new spinner, the opposition always attack to break the spinner's confidence. Remember how many runs Krezja went for in India? Both of them are attacking spinners.

How are the redmond haters going ?

vending maching with p1ss in it ??? i want one!!!

as intelligent as healy is, he comes up with some bewildering theories on the game, speaking of which, i hate listening to chappelli, he must think he was like the 70's equivalent of bradman and the invincibles.

that is all, i have managed to come back to my desk with my tv in time for cricket show waffling *sigh*

Really? I've always pronounced it 'sh-it-hole'.

Do they not have loads of underage drinking? Thats some savage attitude towards alcohol they have.. In SA it's like they really don't want you seeing/buying it, but once you've got it, you'd be a fool not to fill a wheely bin with it and drink the lot

I'm a Redmond hater, and I am stoked. Sure, I said he shouldnt be there, but that doesnt mean I don't want him to perform.

 

[Bahnz]

Redmond to do an O'Brien and turn his career around? The windies are the next side to tour after all.

Two very different players, in very different conditions.

Hauritz will not come good.

 

[Langeveldt]

Going to see this out until tea.. That way it will still be dark and I can get some sleep after.. Got work tomorrow evening for a mate, and don't really want to be a liability..

Really worrying times when SA tour though, going to feel compelled to watch every ball, and I've got a house and a commercial pilots license to sort out midway through it.. Bad times

This innings has secured his spot for the West Indies tour, just like that 70 odd against Bangladesh secured his spot for this tour.

He'll retain his spot cause he's looked a million bucks..he hasnt even looked like getting out. Whereas a guy like Bell, who scored that 69 in the last test against England lost his spot because it was the scratchiest 69 ever to be hit, and he looked like getting out at any minute.

He really hasn't

Every year a test is played in Adelaide and every year I say the same thing - "Dig this f!@#$%g wicket up!
