Watching this on Willow.tv and it is brilliant, and legal, being that you pay $US15.00 a month for it. Worth every penny.

Do they offer it in NZ? I've always wanted a legal way to get my cricket fix, but sky includes way too much other stuff I don't need.

Not sure. Think it is mainly for Asian ex-pats in America. Used to be okay in Japan, then it was not, now it is. Go to the site, sign-up and see where it gets you.

Nothing at all to suggest it's limited to certain countries, they've got New Zealand as a sign-up option. Definitely considering trying it for the next month or two.

Ugh. Keep getting:

"ERROR

We may be able to announce packages at a later date. Please visit again later."

whenever I try purchase anything.

Me too and I agree.

The best part is the archive section. Go back and watch replays or highlights of pretty much any game they've shown.

I've watched the Hobart Test a fair few times.

Yeah excellent start by these two. Zimbabwe will already be feeling pretty down. The traditional NZ batsman thing to do here would be to hand the opposition a couple of wickets and bring them back into the match. Perfect chance for hundreds for these two if can avoid that.

For that matter, already wondering how we'll go bowling on this pitch. Very happy we have five bowlers.

Our bowlers are 5-10km/h faster though. You'd think they would be slightly harder to face on this wicket.

Slightly, yeah. Being able to bowl a consistent good line and length is a much greater factor, imo.
Zim wasted the new ball in that first session, but they're bowling better now.

I hope Kane can ton up here and help cement that no.3 spot.

Was just away and now gutted to see Williamson out. That is sooooo..... NZ always talk about being ruthless and taking their opportunities and grinding the opposition down...... that run out is the complete opposite of that.

Actually makes me think, this is the exact same problem when last in Zimbabwe, first innings. Never looked particularly troubled but consistently handed wickets to the other team and consequently scored 100 less than should have.

Edit: And it's more of a risk now we have a longer tail, particularly if we manage to time getting to 6 down with the second new ball.
Edit2: Might be getting into negative mode too early - just want us to not give anything away and score 500 :)
