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

[Spark]

Amazing over though. Three plays and misses, one of which is almost-bowled and three wickets.

 

[NUFAN]

Ok, must admit I see what the fuss over Pattinson is now. Pace + late movement is always handy.

Yeah I didn't see the fuss until his spell last night, his one over today is just icing on the cake.

 

[Furball]

**** me.

 

[Bahnz]

This is bringing back memories of when Shoiab ran through us in 2003/04, and Tuffey was left at the non-strikers end as a procession of wickets fell at the other end.

 

[TumTum]

Cummins and Pattinson against India Let's murder them!

 

[BoyBrumby]

Ha, welcome to the crease, Jess.

That climbed.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Talk about Shane Watson's quick 5-for? How bout this if he gets it?

Nah, too slow, Kallis holds the record for that - 12 balls v Bangladesh

 

[Zinzan]

Like to know the odds of an innings victory

^ Genius, but I didn't put any money down

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Both Ryder and Bracewell to make double tons.

Mark my words.

Yeah I didn't see the fuss until his spell last night, his one over today is just icing on the cake.

I suppose his first innings efforts could be put down to nerves. One spell doesn't maketh the man but if he can produce that sort of bowling consistently Australia have a dangerous strike bowler to rival Steyn.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Haha **** that's unlucky.

 

[Zinzan]

Awww Pattinson was soo unlucky there not to have a 5-fer, Ryder u lucky ****

 

[hazsa19]

Get back from the pub hoping to spend the night watching NZ pile on the runs

Great to see any young bowler making an impression though.

 

[Zinzan]

I reckon Pattinson just needs a straight yorker to knock Jesse over

 

[adub]

Yeah I didn't see the fuss until his spell last night, his one over today is just icing on the cake.

He's always had this sort of stuff in him, but he just hasn't been consistent. Very surprised he's worked it out so quick, but pleasantly so. We still have Hazelwood yet to get a go who will be a superstar. Then of course Cummins and other very handy guys. We might not be fielding the best pace attack in the world by the next Ashes, but we won't be far off.

 

[Athlai]

****ing hell, so frustrating to be a NZ fan right now.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Is it me or is "That's the way he plays" the most annoying cricketing cliche? Used to excuse any and every piece of twatty play lately.

Pretty sure a Chinese cut isn't Ryder's usual MO either, Smithy.

 

[NZTailender]

Both Ryder and Bracewell to make double tons.

Mark my words.

vs Bermuda in 4 years time.

 

[NUFAN]

So to all the Copeland fans, do you still think the new selectors were wrong for picking this XI?

Or should the attack have been Pattinson, Copeland and Siddle?

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Hahahahahaha

At least we aren't 21/9


Burned!!!!!
