***Official*** Australia in New Zealand 2016

[straw man]

Yup.

On the plus side, maybe he damaged a finger and can't bowl

 

[Moss]

Ninth boundary in the last four overs or so. This could run away from NZ quick.

Feel for Bracewell though, figures not telling the story

 

[dermo]

I'm not watching atm, how difficult was that chance? did he get two hands to it?

 

[jonbrooks]

All of a sudden batting is easy

 

[OverratedSanity]

Just seemed a bit weird to call for the ton to shut up the haters when he hadn't gotten past a stage where the haters would use against him yet.

No its not. I'm hoping he'll get a ton. Why is that weird and what does that have to do with whether he's on 0 or 99*?

Should have been taken at this level, as Bill Lawry would say

pretty difficult chance. it flew, and in between second and third slip.

Definitely catchable but one of those ones that you have to see it really early.

How's Boult bowled overall? From the cricinfo commentary, his last over was ****e.

 

[Howsie]

Oh ffs.

 

[straw man]

Southee needs to learn from where Bracewell's bowling to Smith. Is definitely getting too straight too often.

... that was an interesting shot. Right line that time by Southee.

 

[_Ed_]

That one got my hopes up for a moment.

 

[Burgey]

TPC trolling Southee hard to bowl at his pads here.

Rhythm's been pretty good, recovered some of the pace he seemed to have lost earlier. Very little swing. Kept Khawaja quiet for a while and built up some pressure, but released it in that one over.

"I'm not actually a very big eater".

- Ian Smith.

 

[Burgey]

"I'm not actually a very big eater".

- Ian Smith.

We have a bloke at our club who's a massive unit. He claims to be on a diet where he eats one big meal a week and has little else. This has earned him the nickname "The Boa Constrictor" because he looks like he has swallowed an entire calf.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Smith playing really well now.

 

[Gnske]

Love Uzzy K's cutting game

 

[_Ed_]

Ooh. Bit high?

 

[straw man]

That looked plumb to me

... but on re-viewing it, yeah probably high, umpire's call at best.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Can tell Anderson's an all rounder.... He didn't automatically want to review
