That pitch is cracky as ****

Who's that NZ voice doing the preview I kind of recognise?

Fleming

Guppers must be nervous as ****. Hope he finally performs seems like a top bloke

 

[Zinzan]

Cool Flem's insights are usually high quality, although it kind of sucks that we have to wait until late of day 2/early day 3 to see NZ bat.

 

[TheBrand]

looking forward to this! stoked i picked the 11 correctly, except guptill and ronchi round the other way haha.

 

[Athlai]

Sodhi can bat too, could argue the engine room runs until 10. Perfect chance for some troll innings here.

Oh yeah I know, Wagner wil actually probably bat 10.

 

[Mike5181]

All eyes on 4th grader Nicole Daniels. Will she stand or sit for the national anthem

 

[Zinzan]

Yup, Sodhi has some genuine talent with the bat, much more so than Wagner...although Waggers has those big Balllls

 

[Zinzan]

C'mon Boult, don't be all over the place, straight on the money please.

Interesting Boult is listed as Left arm fast.

Edit: Poor first 2 deliveries,

I assume Yadav was preferred because of the reverse swing factor. Not happy with the selection tbh, Guptill vs Bhuv swinging it around would have been lulz.

 

[Blain]

Man, game over, toss lost. Same story for NZ. Even when we win the toss we make the wrong call (referring to the South African test..).

Can see India going big, then Ashwin bowling us out twice

 

[Mike5181]

That would have been a great over if they were left-handed.

 

[Zinzan]

KW might as well put 9 fielders on the leg-side at this rate. You lose a crucial toss on a wicket that is going to do *** all, the least you can do is bowl accurately.

I can't understand how we're *** at getting out of the blocks these days... bad warm-ups? nerves? ** knows.

 

[Daemon]

80% of the posts have been about losing the toss. Typical defeatist attitude always looking for excuses.

 

[Zinzan]

Looked off the arm-guard live to be fair..

It's uncanny how Wagner continues to trouble batsmen with his short-ball considering he's only generally 130-135. Could it be his short-stature?

 

[mr_mister]

If your appeal reaches a certain decibel level you should be forced to use a review

Yeah it's pretty dire.

 

[TheBrand]

much better 2nd over from boult and wags.

 

[straw man]

Revving up the negativitometer, but to see really high levels we'll need to wait for our first over of inaccurate spin yielding 14 runs.

And now look at the umpire persecuting us already with his not-out calls. WAC
