1st Test - Australia v New Zealand Brisbane Dec 1 - Dec 5 2011

[Red&BlackBear]

McCullum goneskis, great off cutter by Pattinson. Caught at slip by Punter. Geez Pattinson has been bowling terrific in this spell! Showing his potential. Follows up with a great delivery to night watchman Bracewell.

Wheres that bad light when you need it?

Has anyone got the cricket live app? How the hell do I get the test score back instead of the shield?

Once again pissing off to the news at 6pm while play is still in progress. Thank goodness for ABC Radio

Hopefully it will all be over tomorrow!!! And good to see John Bracewell get his first wicket in 20 years today!

 

[TheParraboy]

This game is far from over

If kiwis are gonna do something special, its usually against us

Vettori can hang around, Ryder and Taylor are dangermen, plus a couple of youngsters who could delivery big time

Am expecting this game to go deep into day 5.

Cheers

I really have to wonder how you think the Bracewell joke is funny.

so NZ will be all out by the end of the first session tomorrow

NZ has talent in their top 6. If they actually use their head, and any sort of intelligence was missing in their first dig, it might not be so easy.

I still think we'll win, but in day 5 not day 4, and I think they'll put up a bit of fight and not just collapse in the first session.

At least that's what I'm hoping for. Our kids need to be pushed, giving them easy runs and wickets won't help in terms of preparation for India.

I think this will end in a draw. Other then poor shots we struggled to get wickets in the 1st inns. Any hope the kiwis had were gone with the 3 or 4 dropped catches.

The last 2 teams to perform here poms & SA didn't drop catches. You can't drop catches in Australia & win games. That cost them an inns lead or atleast a handful deficit.

Dude watch me get proven right.

Kiwis to bat well and get a 200 run lead.

Hughes and Warner to blast away and get the 200 in about 30 overs. One of those two to get a century.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

So you're anticipating New Zealand to bat well and post a sizeable lead yet you would have declared early and thrown 100 runs away making the 4th innings even harder

You can't even keep up with your own bullshit

 

[roofromoz]

Williamson = Chucker

Looks very Johan Botha. And didn't he come under the attention of the ICC for his action?

I figured the umpires were too busy checking to see if the sun went behind a cloud so they could call bad light and get themselves a cuppa.

Yes I'm predicting that they won't be completely shit, which is precisely why it would have been a bad idea to bat for 3 years. It's all simple logic.

Simple for me that is, but I'm on a whole other level you can't even comprehend. It's like I'm Charlie Sheen and you're one of the trolls he spoke of. I'm on another universe with my thinking.

Their top 6 can potentially put up a fight. Therefore we shouldn't have batted into day 4 (if we had the option) because if they did put up a fight, didn't bat like complete tards, they could have batted into day 5 and potentially gotten a draw (Monday forecasts possible showers).

I'm not taking the opposition too lightly, I'm not sure we have a bowling attack than can quickly get through them, and the weather is uncertain. All reasons why it would have been a bad idea to bat any longer than absolutely necessary.

We don't have Warne and Mcgrath anymore. Our bowling is our weak link now (at least until the kids get expierience), getting 20 wickets isn't the easy feat it once was. We have to give them as much time as possible to get those wickets.

5 sessions, like some were suggesting wasn't enough in a worst case scenario. Not with them batting within themselves, not with possible rain, not with the stupid "bad light" rule.
