Quack quack quack!

Indeed.

So do people in Brisbane just not watch test cricket anymore? Shocked at how few people are there on a Saturday.

No Queenslanders in the XI, bad light suspending play early, not India, Eng or SA.. Shield match being played at the same time ().

The commentators on the radio seem to think that over 10,000 each day is very good, I dunno about that.

Well, when you know the umpires will be walking off for bad light at 3pm with a clear blue sky over their heads, you know it won't be worth it.

Clarke since going back to 5.

6 innings 3 hundreds, 421 runs @ 70.16

 

[Athlai]

Roll Aussie roll!

 

[Spark]

That's a nice way to bring up 50.

 

[straw man]

Well that's a nice surprise to find two wickets have fallen. Clarke's wicket brings another as well. Got to stop myself thinking 'if only'.

Martin on track for one of his special 5 for lots

Why are our close in fielders not wearing helmets??

 

[adub]

[Ruckus]

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

Natural game from Haddin

Despite myself I am looking forward to seeing us bat, even though I have seen us collapse in similar situations perhaps a dozen times.

Australia will still surely lead by 100 and that will allow their bowlers a lot of licence to attack.

Agree, will be quietly surprised if Aust bat again.

[Spikey]

Doesn't really matter, tailenders love batting against NZ's attack

You must not have been watching NZ cricket for very long.
