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

What do people think of Guptill's dismissal (Taylor & Williamson are rightly coping it for poor shots) maybe I'm underestimating the delivery but I think a test match opening batsman should be able to play it routinely.

Yeah Pattinson has been impressive, but just put things into perspective guys. Bowling with the new ball at the Gabba against batsman who are trying to get out. Even Siddle is getting movement FFS.
Almost as dire as your constant bagging of Steven Smith last year. No-one cares about whatever ****ty opinion you want to share with us, you've got a young bowler ripping through the opposition and you're posting crap like this?

A great spell is a great spell. Poor bowlers can produce the goods now and again but given his age and what he's displayed there's a lot to work with and a lot of potential.

If he were 28+ I'd be more skeptical.
You're saying that Australia have got a bowler to rival the best fast bowler in the world on the basis of one spell against the world's flakiest batting lineup. Sorry but you need more than that.

Horrible from Bracewell.

Gotta feel for NZ here, it really sucks when this stuff happens. Happened to us just a few tests ago.

I said if he can consistently produce that sort of bowling, he would be Australia's Steyn. There's a lot of stock-ish bowlers floating around and not so many dangerous ones who could produce this sort of spell.

Actually no I retract that, this guy is clearly **** and this spell is an aberration. I don't even know how he manages to grip a ball because he's so ********.
