1st Test: New Zealand v Australia at Wellington March 19-23 2010

[Twizzle]

weather report anyone over there ?

 

[aussies1st]

Conditions look pretty good. Harris to make his test debut and Hughes in for Watson.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Can't see NZ taking 20 wickets with this bowling line up. Top order is pretty suspect as well. Could be a long cxouple of tests for the kiwis.

 

[Twizzle]

Hughes seeing them pretty well atm, 2 boundaries in one over

 

[aussies1st]

Hughes smoking the Kiwi bowlers right now, 3 boundaries.

 

[aussies1st]

Geez that was average from Hughes, should have left it.

 

[JJ]

:lol: at all the Hughes love... I know he had some good scores in RSA, but geez he looks ordinary atm to me... not saying he won't do well in the future, but that's yet another lame effort

 

[Fast Eddie]

Yeah I dont get the rave reviews.

 

[Meth]

Could be a long cxouple of tests for the kiwis.

Or short ones....

NZ really need a wicket or two pretty smartly; in the next 50 runs or so. To have any show of winning this test, we need to dismiss Australia for less than 400

What are you smoking? We have NO chance of beating Aust in a test...

 

[JoeD]

Gotta agree with JJ and its not looking good right now.

He was our "next Bradman" according to some in the media...

I remember you guys getting excited about Southee

 

[Meth]

Katich running out his captain

 

[JJ]

I remember you guys getting excited about Southee

Yep - still do - but of course we don't have the vaunted strength that you do

Hughes doesn't look a test opener yet imo...

 

[Meth]

It would be a major, major upset, but I live in hope.

 

[aussies1st]

North has taken the pressure of Hussey but hes certainly no where near his best.

 

[Meth]

Big wicket- Hussey gone

Here comes Clarke

 

[Meth]

North has taken the pressure of Hussey but hes certainly no where near his best.

His last 12 innings before today;

121, 66, 41, 29, 82, 17, 82, 4, 28, 134*, 6, 13*

Average of over 60

Not too bad
