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

[Iafeta]

Dreadful batting. There's been absolutely no thought whatsoever in this batting this morning. Mentally weak and pathetic effort. Ill disciplined in the field dropping sitter catchers and a complete lack of focus bat in hand. An innings drubbing coming up.

 

[Marshall_magic]

Good hat trick ball from Pattinson, New Zealand need to pull something out soon or this will be over very quickly.

 

[Mr Angry]

Great over, three wicket maiden.

The night watchmen, just watching poor bastard.

 

[El Diablo]

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.

:lol:

 

[Twizzle]

big improvement in line and length from the first innings

now we just need Starc to get his line and length right and some one to shoot Siddle in the foot

 

[billy2]

Those were two great overs from Pattinson - 12 dangerous deliveries.

 

[billy2]

Siddle is giving them plenty to think about too.

 

[billy2]

Commentators are raving over an edge through slips as a good shot.

 

[Nth-Qld-Raider]

5 for Patto.

Looking forward to Cummins and Pattinson together with the new ball.

 

[Iafeta]

Pattinson gets another one, and Mark Nicholas spooges on air. What a horrific shot from Bracewell (then again he's watched far better crudentialled blokes playing abysmal strokes at the other end).

 

[billy2]

5/7 - but he has bowled one bad ball this over - going off the boil.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

A really amazing turn around from Pattinson he bowled inconsistent crap in the first innings but wow amazing bowling this morning.

Epic lol @ bunnies derp btw & thanks twizzle

He's a good player TT

Just trying to get a nibble it's all bait bro

Poor shot yes but he was the night watchman.

How embarassing.

So this is why we don't grant the Kiwi's a 3 test series.

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

Peter Siddle is still absolutely f**king shit.

 

[TV Ted Ellery]

Bolinger, Johnson, Harris et al have played for Australia for the final time.

I wish the Windies had this type of talent coming through.

Just trying to get a nibble it's all bait bro

I know :lol: ever since our Pakistan series at the beginning of the year when our fans started talking him up I noticed you started with the Williamson bait

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

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

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

cmon

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

NZ 5/28 trailing by 104 if only we declared at 300 we could have had a second bat :lol:

 

[typicalfan]

Mitchell Starc batting > NZ middle order.
