All these posts are going to look hilarious if he comes back and bowls well now, which is entirely possible even if not probable. The bloke has bowled six balls ffs.

Yeah surely people are joking here, this is ridiculous. That was an excellent over.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Seems it is one run out, indeed.

The ground board is correct ... bizarre that no-one's noticed it at Nine if a bunch of layabout poms can spot it.

Much better second over from Pattinson minor.

 

[straw man]

It won't take many more of those from Pattinson to get a wicket

 

[Athlai]

Wasn't a bouncer deemed too high and given wide? I'm sure that happened but I can't see it on cricinfo...

 

[iamdavid]

Richie going a bit senile sadly.

 

[Zinzan]

Yup, Pattinson will be dangerous if he can maintain that line, nice away swing

 

[benchmark00]

McCullum still a lazy hack outside off I see. Matter of time.

 

[Noble One]

If Pattinson bowled an over like that in his first, this thread would be filled with praise.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Better over from the boy there. Guptill played and missed more than once.

21/0 after 3. Didn't tests used to be played over 5 days?

 

[NZTailender]

Oh I had forgotten that Guptill likes to be involved in run outs.

 

[Nate]

Trentland for the Second Test!

Anything new with the C9 visuals or commentators? Or can I look forward to Nicholas touching himself when Clarke changes the field?

 

[NasserFan207]

18/0 now?

The hell

Yeah, dire batting so far.

You'll be hoping that matter of time won't be 2-3 hrs with McCullum

 

[Athlai]

That ball was quality, cut Baz in half.

Still a better commentator than Greig mind.

Lol. Indeed. It's fun but it ain't test cricket.

Ooo. Jaffa from Siddle. Too good for McCullum, etc.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Now we've deleted one of McCullum's boundaries and abandoned the score completely.

Time for some more ball-following...

Is Siddle bowling just a fraction too short here?

 

[Ruckus]

Pattinson looks like he had like 0 hours of sleep last night.
