Beauty. Hayden goes. Taylor just about hangs on in the slips. Another good nut.

 

[NZTailender]

If it's any comfort, the next bloke in has more runs than Hayden

Well if he makes the same contribution as Hayden I'll be happy

Southee!!!!!!

Elliot and Flynn in the team?
No Mills?

Flynn was always a certainty, and I guess it wasn't hard to see Elliott would probably play and Mills position was under doubt after two poor away series. Doesn't make it any less dire.

Haydos. I'm one of his biggest fans, but it might be time to move on. His temprament is completely not okay.

Big call...

Not a fan of him cos he comes across as a bit of a ***...

Nonetheless still up there with the likes of Sehwag as one of those openers in who make new ball bowlers sh*t themselves...

 

[Silver Arrow]

Katich gone! caught behind

 

[Johnners]

Bittersweet moment for Geg

 

[Zinzan]

Just got home to the wicket. Great decision to drop Mills who's clearly been out of form

Edit: 2 Wickets !

 

[NZTailender]

SOUTHEEEEEEEEE! Katich gone

 

[Speersy]

Nice bowling there

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Tim "Shane Bond" Southee!!
Go you good thing, go!!

 

[Athlai]

SOUTHEE!!!! What a gun!

 

[andruid]

Symonds to save the day with one of those dodgy tons that Richard will never forgive him for.

 

[IndGunner]

Good call they didnt drop southee eh?.

 

[Silver Arrow]

Great start by Southee

 

[NZTailender]

Good call they didnt drop southee eh?.

Can't believe I ever called for his exclusion from this series. Vettori also proving me wrong thus far re: bowling first.

 

[Alysum]

wow 2 wickets down!

I've been thinking about Krezja not being in the team, in my opinion it's wrong because

1- Australia needs to give spinners as much experience to spinners possible for the future and especially the Ashes

2- The Gabba has lots of bounce which is more important than turn for spinners. People always seem to forget that Warne got most of his aussie wickets at the Gabba.

3- Australia won't easily get 20 wickets with Symonds and Clarke doing the spin duties

4- Drop someone after 12 wickets on debut is totally wrong

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Australia will still score 400+, no matter if they are 3 down at lunch and 5 down at tea.

 

[GGG]

Make me look stupid Southee why don't you, good stuff.
