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

[Flametree]

I haven't seen a pitch this green since a drop-in track at Lancaster Park where England lost two wickets in the first over to Chris Cairns. Same pitch where Thorpe and Flintoff added 300 on day 3, before Nathan Astle scored 200 in 153 balls on day 4. Any chance this one will turn out similar?

 

[Spark]

First boundary of the day!

 

[Zinzan]

Williamson you lucky lucky ***, should have been 5 down

 

[Prince EWS]

I have money on Williamson for most runs in this innings. He's got a good chance now but something tells me he'll get a globe tbh.

Almost. Dropped on zero.

Someone insulted you earlier in this thread today, but I had yo back.

 

[robelinda]

Not sure how any batsman in the world plays that after the last two moved away?

Malcolm Marshall owned that type of bowling.

Don't rate Brownlie much I see.

 

[Athlai]

This better still be green when we bowl. 100 vs. 250 vs. 100 match I reckon.

(he was the only who insulted you. He's not over the Hauritz thing)

lol, thought we were4 down already...losing track Damn unlucky for Aust, must be said...centimeters from playing it on

 

[Spark]

Who wants pies? Starc is bowling

[TumTum]

How close was that Starc don't do that.

 

[Prince EWS]

Starc has been terrible so far. I'm not a huge fan but he's much better than this.

Haha, Spikey you jealous weasel!

 

[Spikey]

come on there's no way starc is the 3rd best left arm seamer in nsw

 

[Zinzan]

This better still be green when we bowl. 100 vs. 250 vs. 100 match I reckon.

Nah, once the grass comes off against our attack, can't see Australia getting and less than 400 tbh. As usual it will look like an entirely different contest when we bowl

 

[Spikey]

Haha, Spikey you jealous weasel!

Just spreading the truth bro if you don't like it you can

 

[Athlai]

Starc makes me less nervous.

 

[Prince EWS]

Whip Starc off. Give him a go from the other end when Siddle's done; time for Lyon.
