The commentary has been shit for a few years now. Mark Nicholas and Michael Slater shit me to tears. Honestly just plonk Richie, Bill, Tubby and Heals in the box and make them call the whole days play

I think the game is evenly poised

Can count on Punter getting out early tomorrow morning, then one more wicket after that a collapse is on the cards with our long tail

Stilll reckon NZ will get a 50 run plus lead or thereabouts IMO. If anything Australia will have a teeny weeny lead

Cheers

I didn't mind Heals today. Made some really good points when Tubby was whinging about Clarke being called back.

It is a farce, and Tubby is only being consistent as he did the same last season and I think Tubby is right. We may as well check every ball bowled if it is a no ball if we decide to go down that path.

i have, great hockey poster.

Anyone who can admire the silky skills of Patrick Kane is cool.

Kano would hit a sweet cover drive.

I think Australia will really take the game away from the Kiwis today and will probably get enough runs to only have to bat once in this test.

That is lucky for hughes who won't have the opportunity to fail again. His technique is horrendous.

It certainly feels that way. Not sure about only batting once, but certainly a minimal fourth innings chase looks likely.

NZ continued to shoot themselves in the foot yesterday. The bowlers really aren't good enough to be handing back wickets.

It's a shame for NZ really. The have a lot of batting talent, but very little brainpower or consistency. Meanwhile the bowlers try hard and are reasonably consistent, but lack talent.

if it gets dark, most sane people would just turn the lights on

why is that such a difficult decision to make especially when less people are turning up to test cricket

Would not want to be fielding today, hot already, Sun out in force. Tough for a quick.

The lights were on, had been on for a while. It didn't look bad at all.

Couldn't figure out why they waited so long, it's not like it was going to get better at that time of day if there wasn't enough light when they went off in the first place

They had the lights on yesterday and turned them on pretty early too might I add.

that will probably take a lot of sting out of the pitch as well, should be easier to bat on as it dries out
