*Official* Australia in New Zealand

[Sir Alex]

An overtly defensive mindset right from the beginning..

 

[Zinzan]

I can hear PEWS' scream from here

That was an absolute jaffa, one of those things

 

[slugger]

devastating........

 

[Sir Alex]

Yeah that one would've got many a starter. I feel gutted as I woke up at 3.15AM just to watch him.

That too a Sunday morn... will get some sleep now.

 

[Zinzan]

Looked completely at sea. Hopefully can put up a better show in 2nd innings

Completely at sea's a bit harsh isn't it? He got bowled by an absolute ripper that would have done many a top order batsman

He never looked confident out there did he? The only notable shot was that glance for a 3 otherwise it was all prodding, missing, edging etc.

Hopefully he just need to go out there in the 2nd innings and play positively.

 

[Craig]

Oh Johnson, why can't you just be cool for once?

Batsman who are glued to the crease and show no interest in coming forward. BJ is the same as well. Seems like Ryno and Johnson are a wee bit too quick for them.

 

[Sir Alex]

Bah love to watch Taylor.

Possibly, but I still reckon that particularly nut could've got a few top-class batsman as well, especially when you consider the previous deliveries were moving away. Johnson does get top class batsmen out as well with great full deliveries like that doesn't he?

 

[Sir Alex]

I thought Punter should've gone for it! Lucky Ross.. two edges and still there.

 

[TT Boy]

Wow. Lucky break there.

 

[Sir Alex]

Glorious drive by Taylor!

 

[Craig]

Sinclair didn't move his feet when he got out. Good ball though.

 

[Sir Alex]

Brilliant coverdrive again!

Already equalled the previous paint drying partnership in 4 odd overs.

 

[TT Boy]

Johnson has bowled about a dozen half volleys this morning but Taylor shows Sinclair and BJ what to do with them.

 

[Sir Alex]

Watto ahead of Bollinger! Very interesting!

 

[Sir Alex]

Dougeh might replace Johnners at the other end. Fortunate boundary for Watling..Nice cricket after morning heartbreak.

 

[Sir Alex]

And a glorious boundary to finish that over.

 

[Sir Alex]

As expected, Dougeh on.
