*Official* Australia in New Zealand

[AlanJLegend]

As an Aussie I absolutlely love watching this.

Seeing us slowly but surely batting the other team out of the match. We do this so well.

 

[Athlai]

Katich and Hussey are two guys who consistently hammer us.

 

[Zinzan]

Soul destroying for NZ

Lol Jono, your overly-dramatic comments are funny at times. I think you'll find most NZ posters are realist's & would find this neither surprising nor 'soul-destroying", but more likely 'predictably disappointing'

A phase as strong as "soul-destroying' to most Kiwi's would be our continuous failure to win the rugby WC since 1987 despite being favourites at the start of every Tournament, not losing to Australia in a cricket test at a time they're 100 times better than us.

First ever 100 partnership of two batsmen in their 50th match?

This is awesome btw. Spine ftw.

 

[Johnners]

Awesome

So good that Katich has capitalised on his start.

 

[Sir Alex]

I do find it slightly ironic how someone named BJ is so good with his hands...

 

[Smudge]

2 for Arnel. Bowling lovely lines in this spell.

 

[pasag]

dire

 

[Jayzamann]

So I woke up just in time to see Arnel rock the house a little bit.

 

[Sir Alex]

Well done Katich. Only a miracle can save Kiwis now

How good was the strategy to keep a shortleg for Ponting. In the morning Sky showed how Ponting has been hitting in the air in that region in the first innings. Well noted Sky and the Vet.

Hopefully Kiwis can get Australia all out under 350.

Lol, fair enough.

I'd be scared of acid tbh.

 

[Jayzamann]

Piss isn't acetic?

Or didn't I read that right?

 

[Top_Cat]

Can be either basic or acidic, tbh.

 

[Spark]

I have to say this has been a really, really productive partnership over the last six months or so. North in particular seems to only bring his A-game if Clarke has and is at the other end.

 

[Bahnz]

And at the same time as New Zealand suffer the consequences for yet another piss-poor first innings effort, Jesse Ryder goes out and blasts a run-a-ball hundred in his FC return. Why couldn't that fat-**** have gotten back into shape a week earlier?

 

[NZTailender]

Will be Chris Martin's last test IMO, seems to have lost a yard of pace in the last month or so

Was clocking in the low 140s in this Test, tbf.

You'd hate for it to be acidic the day you are stung by a jellyfish.

JD Ryder c DC de Boorder b SR Wells 103 (109)

He's back but too late.
