***Official*** New Zealand in Australia 2011

[Prince EWS]

These commentators are going to be so surprised at how Ryder bats if he gets a score.

 

[Athlai]

Why does everyone think Ryder is so aggressive?

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Everyone knows he is one of the most aggressive batsman in world cricket.

If Greigy says it it must be true.

 

[benchmark00]

Waiting for Mike Hussey to drop a catch.

 

[benchmark00]

STARCEHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Haha ****, thought it was Hussey, was going to be one of the great calls.

 

[Ruckus]

wow this is disappointing...

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Another dud shot. Who woulda thunk it?

 

[Athlai]

160 ao.

 

[straw man]

That is so ****ing weak. Short. Wide. Spoon to point.

All out 120 imo

 

[_Ed_]

Ffs.

 

[straw man]

That is so ****ing weak. Short. Wide. Spoon to point.

All out 120 imo

 

[Flametree]

Why does everyone think Ryder is so aggressive?

Cos he gets out playing shots like that?

So Starc = Johnson, gets wickets with ****e balls that batsmen go after? To be fair Johnson got his with wide half-volleys, not short ones...

 

[Spikey]

Ryder,

 

[Kylez]

Starc getting wickets due to the batsmen playing aggressively to deliveries outside the off stump. Mitchell Johnson, anyone?

 

[Nate]

Awful, awful batting.

 

[stephen]

NZ trying their best to give us a bat this afternoon.

Rain will probably come within half an hour. I just felt that "rain is coming" breeze.

 

[Ruckus]

Cricinfo making fat jokes:

"Starc to Ryder, OUT, didn't Jesse have enough for lunch? He's already on his way back for more."

Wow, top quality.

 

[Jayzamann]

Clarke's Baggy green is looking surprisingly fresh, not like it's been around since 2004.

 

[Noble One]

New Zealand wasteful. Ryder was looking scratchy so why throw it away with the cross-batted shot before set?

 

[andyc]

Geez. Except for perhaps Williamson, all of the balls which dismissed the Kiwi batsmen could've been left alone. Siddle's one did suck batsman in with a bit of movement away, but there's been some ordinary shots played.
