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

"You can see a tiny little white mark there"

Yes Tony, that's the ****ing ball you spacker. Really needs to up his game before he starts trolling the Indians this summer.

Er... it was a nick, with a hotspot on the bat.

Kruger is qualified, Wagner isn't.

@ Brumby: Not sure tbh, since I haven't seen much of Kruger van Wyk keeping. In thhe 20/20 comp last year which is televised, his keeping was pretty dodgy but then guys like Heef say he can use his gloves.

Young was touted as the best pure keeper at the time, and has batted as high as number three domestically with success, so I can see why he got the gig.

Bloody hell. Clearly not doing himself justice in this series then.

Yay Starc, here's some free runs

Casting the antijinx aws

Young was still rated well under Baz with the gloves though.

Do you think that they'll drop him or keep him?

 

[BoyBrumby]

Siddle sporting a bit of a belly to go with the moobs now?

Bowling bloody well regardless. Super lines.

EDIT: Leg side half volley next ball.

 

[Hurricane]

See Siddle off.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Feels so good to have our batsmans' edges not carrying.

 

[R_D]

Haddin would have to be Superman to catch that Tony...

Do you think that they'll drop him or keep him?

Depends how highly they rate the keeping of van Wyk and de Boorder (de Boorder is a born and bred kiwi, despite the name).

Zip it.

He'll be on thin ice at the moment but it isn't a certain thing IMO.

 

[ganeshran]

Hope Taylor makes a ton here

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Zip it.

Good point.

 

[Athlai]

Pitch has moved from flat to road IMO.

 

[BeeGee]

I love Starc. Wish he could bowl from both ends.

 

[Zinzan]

Do you think that they'll drop him or keep him?

I'd say Young will be skating some thin ice if he fails again today. I'm not so sure about his competition these days, in fact not even sure if van Wyk's eligible to play for NZ yet.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Brownlie likes a bit of width, it's fair to say.

Limited MO but I like his discipline; quite prepared to let a lot go.

What do people say about Derek's keeping?

van Wyk is eligible and averaging about 70 this season.
