**Official** New Zealand v Australia

I was going to post something really positive about Hayden's innings, but I don't want to jinx him so I won't. As I type one goes in the air over gully!

I want to hear it. Post away

 

[Somerset]

Already a very close decision with Hayden, to be honest I thought glove was involved but Bowden thought otherwise....

 

[Fiery]

Oh no, even our own umpires wont give them out! Hayden hurt his fingers there.
Nice one Billy. A perfect time to use the 3rd umpire there.

 

[MoxPearl]

He should walked.. woulda been so obvious to him he hit it

 

[Somerset]

Brings that arguement over video replays out again, doesn't it.

Difficult decision for Bowden but 'snicko' has proven him wrong. Real luck for Hayden.

 

[Fiery]

Only St.Gilly walks

 

[Somerset]

Considering the form he's in, I can't blame him for not walking. He's got a start and now a bad decision from Bowden has given him an opportunity to progress.

An Aussie walk? Bwahahaha. Pull the other one (except for the aforementioned 'St Gilly'. Good one Fiery).

 

[kwigibo]

hayden looking a little better than last time i saw him, hopefully he will play a long innings today

Playing long innings has never been the problem.

 

[Fiery]

I don't blame him for not walking as I wouldn't if I was playing for my country. Bowden talks himself up as being a great umpire and could have used the 3rd umpire and didn't. A shocking decision that could be the difference. Thanks Billy, ya queer ****!

 

[Somerset]

I wouldn't launch a complete attack on Bowden, sure it was an incorrect decision but it was questionable so I don't think he could've been 100% certain.

Which is why he should have sent it upstairs.

 

[Somerset]

Well I can't disagree with that, if he had the opportunity to use the third umpire, it was wrong that he didn't use it.

50 for Hayden, that decision from Bowden costing New Zealand.

Not really, The longer Hayden's out there the lower the eventual total.

 

[MoxPearl]

:/ bowden once again... :/

 

[Fiery]

That was so plumb it's not funny! Embarrasing display by Bowden so far today.

 

[Somerset]

A very close LBW decision going Hayden's way now....Bowden again..

 

[MoxPearl]

i thought veto was gonna punch the umpire lol

 

[Fiery]

i thought veto was gonna punch the umpire lol

[Somerset]

Lol. Would've been an interesting conversation though.
