Excellent rugby commentator Grant Nisbett, and that's what he needs to stick with. Adds nothing to a cricket commentary. Appears to have nothing other than a very basic understanding of cricket and seems to always miss the nuances between the various formats.

If we could steal Damien Fleming/Ricky Ponting as commentators that'd be great.

 

[_Ed_]

Nice return so far from Mills.

 

[Zinzan]

Yup, stuff Mills.

 

[Binkley]

Nice return so far from Mills.

I was just about to comment that this will be a good test for him, given the concerns (including from me) about his bowling once the ball loses a bit of its hardness. That was a really good first over back.

 

[Zinzan]

Lol @ clueless Smithy - "Every time Sanga has come to the crease this tour, he's looked good and in no trouble" ...When even by his own admission, Sanga looked really out of sorts vs. Boult in the 1st test, then putting in a ton of practice to recover brilliantly in the 2nd..

 

[Mike5181]

The only problem I have with Mills today is that he still has six overs left to bowl in the second half of the innings. We can't afford to only give him three in his first spell.

 

[_Ed_]

Damn it, this over isn't so good.

 

[hendrix]

This is why they want Milne.

 

[hendrix]

And Boult, to a lesser extent.

 

[jonbrooks]

Looks like we'll be chasing plenty. Let's see how the run chase goes later tonight.

And Paul Robeson's baritone started to sound on Howsie's behalf.

***y keeping from Ronchi

 

[BeeGee]

Sangakkara is gun.

And Paul Robeson's baritone started to sound on Howsie's behalf.

I bet most people here wouldn't have a frikkin' clue who Paul Robeson was. Ol' man river ...

 

[hendrix]

Gonna be a fun chase.

 

[jonbrooks]

Copping some serious stick now. Ouch.

 

[Greenlite]

Looking@300+

Unless Lord Mitch saves us all

 

[jonbrooks]

Even the usually miserly Vettori is being caned.

 

[jonbrooks]

Looking@300+

Unless Lord Mitch saves us all

Comfortably 300+. I'm thinking between 330 and 350. I wanna see us make a real fist of chasing this score down.

 

[Zinzan]

This is going to be such an excellent test of bowling in the last 15 overs in a scenario when the opposition have the perfect foundation.
