*Official* Australia tour of New Zealand Feb-Mar 2024

Looks like he caught that?

But he didn't edge it anyway.

 

[ataraxia]

"Edged, doesn't carry!"

Wasn't edged, did carry.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Phillips is looking like tweety bird these days

 

[King Kane]

Some close calls for the Aussie openers so far but nothing to show for it in terms of wickets,

Hopefully O'Rourke can produce some.

 

[Aidan11]

Get O'Rourke on.

 

[Aidan11]

Oh he is on.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Get O'Rourke on.

He’s on

 

[straw man]

Henry very good and as hoped, relentless and getting into the 135+ speeds often. Genuine test match opening batting from Khawaja though - Australia will miss him when he retires.

 

[Prince EWS]

Get O'Rourke on.

Leave O'Rourke out of the Oval.

 

[Aidan11]

He’s on

Yeah I wasn't paying attention when he came on

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Prodigious movement

 

[Aidan11]

Henry deserves a wicket.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Testing bowling from Henry

Don’t waste the new ball

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Dude’s got a really bad scrape on the leg there.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

It feels like there’s a pretty high percentage of deliveries that can be left on length at the moment. Doesn’t feel like Smith or Khawaja are particularly under pressure.

 

[straw man]

Australia only scoring in even numbers, that's what ten overs on the trot with each batting at just one end?

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Deep square out there for O’Rourke to Smith.

 

[King Kane]

We are keeping the runs down at least but still no wickets, hopefully this pressure might bring one, it nearly brought about a run out.

 

[Alex0paul]

This is thrilling stuff
