*Official* New Zealand in Australia 2019/20

[stephen]

Haha Ponting can't understand why they just don't hook and pull everything.

I'd have loved to have seen him bat against Wagner. Would have been an epic confrontation.

 

[stephen]

Ponting really can't understand why the batsmen aren't smashing 4s every ball here.

 

[Hicheal Michael]

Still a decent match for Smith - the slip catch was a big moment.

 

[NotMcKenzie]

This not bowling short to tail enders thing went out well before Glenn McGrath appeared, Slats

 

[NotMcKenzie]

Head's out Bancroft style

 

[Spark]

This is quietly quite amusing, and impressive by NZ

 

[stephen]

Rubbish batting by Head there.

Southee going full Wagner tonight. Had Head jumping before that ball.

 

[Moss]

Ha ha. Can't believe Head's dismissal there. Love that Southee and Wagner are still giving it their all. Creditable.

 

[Jarquis]

Wade just wearing these

 

[stephen]

This is great viewing.

 

[Spark]

This Test hasn't been very even as a contest but it's provided very good cricket throughout. This is a lot of fun.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

470 in 5 and a half sessions with no Hazlewood. Might get to see some history

 

[morgieb]

Impressive collapse. Feel like Australia already have plenty on the board anyway though,

 

[NUFAN]

Head just hits far too many deliveries at catchable height.

This really isn't good cricket from our batsman. It now means NZ are going to bat a lot of overs during daylight.

 

[Son Of Coco]

What the **** is Wade doing? I have a feeling it's him saying to Wagner "you're not fast enough to hurt me", but it's dumb nonetheless. The bruises on his arm tomorrow will say otherwise. Just hit the ****ing thing.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

I wonder when they were hoping to declare? The older the ball is for tomorrow night the better. Latham and Raval both need to get Cowans.

 

[Spark]

This is pretty gormless by Aus

It's let New Zealand back in the game somewhat too. Tough wicket but the target is merely daunting rather than impossible and there's still lots of time left in the game.

Test reminding me a lot of the MCG test against India last year though.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Southee turning it on in Australia! A quick 50 not out in the run chase and motm is in the bag

 

[stephen]

Australia's plan is obviously to bat until night tomorrow and the batsmen have interpreted that as don't play any shots.
