Best thing NZ could hope for. Hopefully both of them look aggressive tomorrow also. No way such a huge deficit can be played by being defensive. There is half a chance of NZ drawing this test match if they play attacking cricket.
bet365.com says 13/2 draw.

I know I should troll through the thread, but I could not be bothered:wacko:

Just would like to post my anger at Katich not going on Hayden's call, it was clearly his call and it is not up to Katich to decide:@

hayden is a selfish fool, katich would never have made it, he had to wait for the ball to go past vettori, then would have been run out by about 3 metres at the strikers end, haydos should suck it up

Murali averages just under 40 there. Saqlain Mushtaq averaged 20 there, but mind you, it must be noted that he only played three Tests there.

AWTA. If anybody else did the amount of trolling and baiting of the English cricket tean, they would probably cop a ban :dry:

As for the Vettori-Haddin bat pad thing, why didn't Ryder throw the stumps down as Haddin was out of his crease and probably got a run out. Poor cricket from Ryder (I once saw an ODI where Symonds took a catch and still whipped the balls off in case it was no-ball and he never heard the call) IMO.
Yes, it is Ryder's fault that Koertzen is incompetent...

Don't give me that crap. Your a good poster and your better then that. If you ever bothered to read, Ryder should of thrown the stumps down when he had the chance, it has nothing to do with Koertzen. And TBF to Koertzen in real time, would you have been able to judge that it hit the shoulder Haddin's bat? Bearing in mind you do not have 'hot spot' or a replay or dozen?

Haddin's first 50 was so good, played the nicest shots.

Great day for Aus but pitch is still a disgrace. Bring back the Gabba wicket.

Uppercut yourself, please.
Should have been directed at Precambrian to be honest.

There is no bowler to ever have played the game that can get you bagfuls at will on any surface in any condition. If Warne had been Indian you guys would have worshiped the ground he walked on.
