**Official** New Zealand in Australia 2015

[ohnoitsyou]

Bat another hour and we get to face Smith. Come on boys.

With Santner looking as good as he is, this really would be a huge moment for Doug to discover his test batting potential.

New Zealand are still in this. Starc injured, Marsh has leaked runs, Siddle not looking particularly threatening.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Gawd this is priceless.

Channel 9 commentators in thick Aussie accents "Santner hits four more on debut".

good from the young man on dayboo

 

[vandem]

Any comment yet from broadcaster or Cricket Australia about the wrong ball DRS replay yesterday?

 

[Cabinet96]

I think we on CW can be a bit resistant to raw talent if we follow them a lot in domestic cricket and they don't set the world alight. I remember the first time I watched Latham bat against England people on here didn't seem to rate him particularly highly, but he just looked good straight away to me. Wonder if the fact I didn't know anything about his domestic exploits made it seem more obvious to me that he kind of had it. Probably a similar case here with you guys not thinking Santner is ready but the Aus commentators thinking he looks the next big thing.

 

[Gob]

Lyon's bowling well here

 

[Bahnz]

Lyon looking really nasty, great offspin bowling.

 

[cnerd123]

Yea Santa does look like he belongs at this level. Shown generally sound temperament and discipline from what I've seen, has scoring areas all around the wicket.

Should definitely get more opportunities domestically and on A tours to bat long. Shouldn't drop the bowling either. Very good 2nd spinner potential.

 

[Hurricane]

That's Lyon's best over so far. He may strike soon.

 

[ohnoitsyou]

Bracewell plays a better forward defense than Brendon McCullum, Ross Taylor and Martin Guptill combined.

 

[Gnske]

Can't wait for the Santner ton to send the kiwi audience into a celebratory orgy of pleasure.

 

[Gob]

Man Starc would have cleaned this up by now

 

[Bahnz]

Too many orthodox defence shots. Time to ps things up with a cross bat slog.

 

[ohnoitsyou]

I think he premidated a drive there, and it nearly cost him is wicket.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Man Starc would have cleaned this up by now

Well he should harden up and get out there and bowl. Obviously not a real Australian.

 

[Bahnz]

Can't wait for the Santner ton to send the kiwi audience into a celebratory orgy of pleasure.

Gawd could you imagine? Howsie would be morr insufferable than Flem was after Hobart.

 

[Cabinet96]

Oh no

 

[Gnske]

Amazing

 

[Fuller Pilch]

oh dear

 

[Spark]

Too ballsy, that
