Pretty sure I've told this story before but he must've changed since Uni Oval 2012/13, when he accosted a young boy selling hot dogs and purchased 3, none of which made it up to the commentary box.

I remember this story and it still made me chuckle.

pitch doesn't look very green now, and it sounds like australia could have batted a bit better than they have.

when do we think mchesson will learn to stop requesting these pitches?

Seeing Bracewell leaking runs at 6 rpo is just infuriating. Absolutely incensed that Henry was left out. You don't ignore a player in red hot form just because the incumbent "isn't terrible".

Bracewell's bowled alright - he should have had Smith. But I would also much rather have had Henry - Aussie were under a lot of pressure after the opening Southee/Boult spell and having Henry on then would have just kept it up.

Yeah Bracewell's looked to trouble Smith in that channel outside off, and to his credit succeeded a few times, however he's still not accurate enough to make up for his lack of pace and bounce. He has a very low margin for error.

TPC looking crazy compact in defence now. Find that more intimidating when you're fielding than if a bloke blazes a few. Side on shots in that last over showed he's playing it right under his nose.
