**Official** New Zealand in Australia 2015

[adub]

31.96 and 23.40 are the batting averages of our numbers 5 and 6. Crazy.

Frankly surprised they are both as high as that tbf.

I'm over all this Marsh love from the selectors. Neither are test standard. Go back to the good old days where you had to average 50 in FC to get a top 6 batting spot for Australia

A 4th seamer would be very useful (although the 2nd spinner might be vital in the 4th innnings)

 

[Bahnz]

What do NZ have to bowl Australia out for to stay in this? For my mind, with Starc out anything under 300 would do nicely.

pretty happy for doug. he's earned the ire of the stylist fans by sacrificing his glory boy aspirations for the team, and he's getting his reward for bowling boring line and length.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Haven't watched much of this. Has the pitch showed any sign that it'll turn later on?

 

[mr_mister]

Nevill should be batting in the top 5 tbqh

theory that WINVIZ is just a aus fan vote - confirmed

Doubt it. There's a lot of grass on the pitch so reckon it will hold together well. Decent amount of turn on day 1 for Lyon though, so you never know

Haven't watched much either but I'm pretty sure Lyon got appreciable turn yesterday

Bad luck mate

Top 5 things about this Test.

1 The opportunity to see the great Peter Siddle take his 200th Test wicket.

2 The use of the night watchman. I really think its a more obvious tactic than usual.

3 The old scoreboard

4 Channel 9' love of the Marsh brothers if they somehow bat together and can string together a double figure partnership

5 Phil Hughes tributes. Number 1 was in order but the rest arent

Update

1 yessssssssssssssssssssss

2 not yet

3 yessss

4 yessss

5 Yes.

At the start of the day I was hoping that the deficit wouldn't be too big - now I'd be disappointed if there wasn't a lead.

Long way to go next, in a way Voges/Marsh/Marsh - were always going to have a bad day at some stage. These two at the crease can play and should put up stern resistance. Need a breakthrough.

it only looks that way because of what's in front of him. He's a very good 7, but that's all.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

"who will put the score on the board"

expected davey warner to win that too

 

[mr_mister]

I really hope both Marshes aren't still there next test

 

[brockley]

Give Mitch 1 more test.
Nah just afterthought.
