*Official* Australia in New Zealand

[Craig]

Watto eh?

 

[slugger]

Skippy probably knew if he could last another 15 minutes he wouldve started getting the ball to the fence..

as you can see watling and taylor are now doing...

 

[Sir Alex]

Horror throw from Clarkey!

 

[Sir Alex]

Partnership 42 runs in 37 balls. Contrasting half hours.

 

[Zinzan]

Hehe, would be just like facing New Zealand's bowlers in the nets facing Watson

 

[Sir Alex]

Rossco already in IPL mode I guess.

 

[Sir Alex]

50 of the partnership up. Phew test cricket and NZ is like a whiff of quiet fresh air from the IPL hullaballo...

Sinclair got a great ball. But he could have kept it out. Ross taylor would not have gotten out to that delivery.

If yorkers were that devastating. Bowlers would try to bowl them once an over.

Sinclair was beaten for pace.

I'm staying up all night defining modernism, appropriation, canon and nationalism and it's relation to New Zealand art before analysing two paintings and their importance in New Zealand art history for an assignment, so I can watch the cricket without anything hanging over my head.

This sounds interesting mate. What are the paintings if I may ask?

 

[Uppercut]

Lol. You can almost hear the sound of Aussies pulling their hair out here.

 

[Sir Alex]

Some really glorious drives since morning.

 

[Sir Alex]

Loving how Watling looks a completely different batsman after Rossco joining him.

 

[NZTailender]

This sounds interesting mate. What are the paintings if I may ask?

The paintings (of my own choosing) are 'Still life with arum lilies' by Louise Henderson and 'Portrait of Roger Kennedy' by TM Woollaston.

 

[Hurricane]

Watling needs to go on. Getting a start and then getting out is a sin.

 

[Sir Alex]

What a sweet 50 from Ross! What a way to bring up that with a six!

And now Watling is gone!

 

[Craig]

Taylor - WAG
Bollinger - WAC

 

[_Ed_]

50 off 34 balls with seven fours and a six?!

Sounds like a moderately entertaining little knock from Taylor. **** I wish I didn't have to be at work right now. Cricinfo is no substitute.

 

[Johnners]

Watling dismissed. NZ in a spot of bother at 114/3 (given our long tail)

I pray that Guptil can score a 50 today.

edit - I am dissapointed in Watling's dismissal. It was a failure in his back foot defensive technique. It needs to be tighter.
