**Official** New Zealand in Australia 2015

[Spark]

I'm kind of surprised Starc hasn't tried that more in Tests, any kind of movement away from the batsman from that sort of angle must be hellish to face.

 

[Bahnz]

Great pressure bowling from Aus.

 

[Flem274*]

uh oh

 

[hendrix]

Thought he edged it then maybe outside the line but you don't review those.

Need a huge partnership cos this will be a road on day 2.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

aight time to go out to dinner and come back to 123-5

Actually find the pink ball very easy to pick up on my laptop screen

I'm convinced they've keyed up the colours on certain shades - picking up a lot of fluro-ish colours in the crowd and on gloves etc. unlike previous games.

Latham currently averaging over 40 this series without a 50.

Would love if he tons up today.

 

[Howsie]

Mark Taylor = Tum Tum?

Yeah absolutely. It's much easier to pick up than in the Shield games. At first I thought it was because I'd got used to it watching the Shield games but I think it's actually more than that. I'm mildly colour blind too so if anyone would struggle it should probably be me.

 

[mr_mister]

Latham looking really good.

I reckon Taylor will string 2 good scores together here

 

[Cabinet96]

Williamson was 2 off 16 against Siddle. Makes it so much easier as a bowling side when you've got that rather than Johnson going for a boundary ever over.

 

[Gnske]

Third time in the first session there's been a circlejerk over S.Darsh, good start.

Good stuff from Latham in the meantime.

 

[NZTailender]

Yuss, 50. Don't wanna jinx him...

 

[Flem274*]

good work tom

 

[kiwiviktor81]

Don't worry guys, since Taylor corrected his eyes he's averaged 297.

 

[morgieb]

Good knock from Latham. You'd want him to kick on though especially given in other games he's gotten out after looking good for 30-odd and also the second session presumably being the best for batting.

Nice that this pitch actually has something for the bowler. My worry is though that this means it won't break up....

 

[Gob]

Tea break after first session

This drop-in wouldn't have broken up anyway; all the turn last year was out of the rough.

goddamn I was unaware so much off-field high quality video footage of Hughes existed. Were they planning on making a documentary on him?
