1st Test D/N: Australia v NZ at Perth, Dec 12-16 2019

Oh no, probably the last guy you want to drop

 

[hineyrulz]

Oh dear!! Kiwis fielding had been outstanding till then.

 

[jargan83]

Puts down and absolute dolly

 

[undertaker]

Smithy dropped. A much needed let off there after a Tubby Taylor-like innings today.

 

[Front-Rower]

Probably been a lot of talk about the pace... mis information imo

If Boult was playing then Ferguson might have been an ok choice

 

[TheParraboy]

320 odd first innings was the best innings in last years test here v India, with the horrid top 6 we had

350+ and we are hard to beat IMO , very long way to go

 

[undertaker]

Very unlike Smith not to put away that full toss from Santner. That ball was there to smack to the boundary.

Dropping Smith is a criminal offence in most countries

Only crime punishable by hanging in England

 

[Bazal]

f**k me, that's laser guided...

 

[jargan83]

Jeet Raval to have a trundle

 

[King hit]

There are more New Zealanders in Australia then in New Zealand

2/160 day 1 dinner break

I hate these interviews as they are coming off, especially hot day, get cliche answers and waste of time

Justin Langer would if he could, Poor Hilton Cartwright is being wasted in the Marsh Cup.

 

[edabomb]

Sommerville or Ajaz would have been better options for this tour. Santner has nothing with the ball other than restriction, not good enough in Oz conditions.

The great AB made his name on ugly 30 and 40’s.

 

[King hit]

Is this the 20 minute break or the 40?

Id say the ashes has zapped him a bit, either he smacks that for 4, or lets it go being so close to the break. Maybe the 40c weather played its part too

Marnus though is going from strength to strength
