**Official** New Zealand v Australia

[neutralguy]

Boring cricket from new zealand. Stone walling game from NZ and taking us backwards to gavaskar days.

And yet another controversy about him sending text messages to people.

 

[age_master]

292 all out

Chis martin now 28 innings without hitting double figures, 32 is the record - and that was Chandresaker apparently, who batted with one hand.

yesssssssss, the boredum is over, now its time for the aussie bg bats to tear into the Kiwi bowlers after lunch

Nice play by Vettori again, and some more good bowling from McGrath and Warne. Kasprowicz didn't have a great time of it and that Martin wicket flatters his figures a little. Gillespie was decent but unusually wayward both yesterday and this morning.

Australia certainly in the box seat now. The pitch does a little bit off the seam but not much, and there's not a lot of turn yet, so Australia have a good chance to pull away and bat New Zealand out of the game.

Hayden and Ponting looking really good here. Hayden in particular looks more comfortable than he has in a while.

Yeah, they were great shots. The first one was a big uncontrolled, but the second one was perfect.

Sorry!

The second one looked a little bit top-edgey for mine.


As I write, Hayden goes!! I was writing when it happened, but it was one of those shouts that sounded out. Looked pretty dead, and Koertzen didn't have to take any time to decide.

Marshie had the biggest swing but seem to miss more than connect, mostly getting clean bowled. It was embarassing.
