**Official** New Zealand in Australia

[morgieb]

Haha. Should finish within an hour. And the Aussies are back on track after a dire tour of India.

 

[NZTailender]

Would be great if Vettori passed 3000 career runs in this Test.

Whattajinx!

Whats he on now? 1432?

2941.

 

[Athlai]

What a dire day, NZ getting rolled and food poisoning. Yay.

 

[Athlai]

Southee scores a lot of sixes.

That is his 12th.

 

[Nutter]

Bloody hell, Southee has more than twice as many test sixes than fours.

 

[Nutter]

He already has more than 10% of Chris Cairns' sixes.

 

[Athlai]

At this rate Southee will be the leading six scorer of all time comfortably. I doubt it will continue quite at this exhilarating pace though.

 

[Nutter]

Baz actually playing as if he was in a test match!

 

[NZTailender]

Baz actually playing as if he was in a test match!

Took him long enough to realise, though.

Baz actually playing as if he was in a test match!

And at a time where I'd like to see him play his shots. Nothing to lose IMO.

 

[NZTailender]

Nothing to lose IMO.

Time in the middle. Should farm the strike for as long as possible. When Southee gets out the two bunnies are left, then he should go for it, imo.

 

[Athlai]

Southee breakdown of how he's scored his runs:

Currently 107 runs:

12 sixes = 72 runs
5 fours = 20 runs

92 out of 107 in boundaries.

But look at how many came from maximums jeezzz

Our very own Afridi?

 

[Athlai]

Way to ruin it.

 

[Johnners]

I know he hasn't exactly been bowling against an imposing batting lineup, reckon Hauritz has bowled fairly well

 

[Athlai]

McCullum to ton up? Hope he just goes for it.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Haha nah, made it look harder than it was imo.

Haha, what I was gonna say.

 

[Flem274*]

I hope thats the last time I see Redmond bat for NZ. This has been rather painful, McCullum should have a slog now, before Andy Moles drops him for Watling, if his biased outbursts on radio before the England series are anything to go by.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Haha, what I was gonna say.

It's like I'm really Nnanden. What a time we live in.

 

[_Ed_]

Bit harsh on Redmond there Flem, he's been the best of our batsmen this match.
