[OKP]

Michael Clarke is better than New Zealand

we might not get to see Hughes fail bat again :

New Zealand cricket just flat out don't care about test cricket anymore sadly.

 

[Robelinda]

Woeful stuff from NZ. Love this aggressive captaincy from Punter, nice early declaration, good to see. One thing which I just WISH he'd do I have an extra fielder in the slips for Johnson- he literally gets so many going through there, so does Bollinger too. Needs to take a leaf out of Border's book, for Bruce Reid he always had 4 slips, those two MCG games in 90 and 91 Reid tore through England and India and had many many wickets caught at that 4th slip.

How did Southee ever manage that 70 odd against England, his batting just look abysmal

English bowlers are ████.

I wake up this morning go check the score and we're all out ><

 

[Chewie]

It's good to see that we haven't lost a wicket yet.

Edit: How come the posts weren't merged?

 

[CaptainOZ]

If the posts are a sufficient time-span apart, they are treated as separate posts and won't get merged.

Run rate of 1.84 :sleep

 

[Chewie]

oh ok. Yes it is quite slow going haha. But they're doing what they need to do, bat time.

Hauritz seems to have a problem with overstepping, 6 times in the first innings, and twice already...

This is a good opportunity for me to try and do my economics essay No point watching the cricket since it's so boring...

Chewie added 0 Minutes and 20 Seconds later...

OMG A FOUR

Id rather have some of the younger crop of Bangladeshis on my team than McIntosh

How did Southee ever manage that 70 odd against England, his batting just look abysmal

It was probably before he got exposed to NZ's batting coaches

 

[Chewie]

Wow McIntosh hit a six

They look like they might make it to a 100 partnership. When was the last time that happened?

 

[aussie1st]

Much better start this time round as you would expect. Going to be a much tougher innings for the bowlers with both Harris and Bollinger bowling within themselves.

 

[CaptainOZ]

What is it with Hauritz and no-balls? He's a spinner in a Test and has already bowled 11 no-balls

 

[Chewie]

Yea I noticed that as well, seemed real strange. What's more strange is that in the first innings the umpire didn't pick up many of the no-balls as well

Chewie added 5 Minutes and 9 Seconds later...

oh great now Watling's gone.

 

[aussie1st]

Bollinger hasn't been too much better on the no ball front. And Harris has 2 wickets from no balls.

Nice one by Bollinger, brought that out of no where and almost had 2 in 2 balls.
