1st Test: New Zealand v Australia at Wellington on Feb 12-16, 2016

[8Ball]

Craig vs Bird should be a good battle.

 

[ANTiLAG]

Bmac's got this under control.

He'll just bat 2 sessions, score another tripple century, Guptil will ton up, then Anderson and Bracewell will build a nice lead of over 300 for Craig to have 4 sessions to bowl Straya out.

150 up for Craig

Craig

 

[The Mad Hatter]

He's out!!!

 

[8Ball]

Lovely flight, drift and turn from Craig. Beats Voges all ends up

 

[aussies1st]

Bradman back on top again

 

[Pete Cash]

Smith had a bit of a mini not out streak going ("only" 300) and craig ended that. He is the streak killer

 

[hineyrulz]

"His average is f**ked now Tony"

 

[Twatface Magee]

Terrible shot by Voges, should be dropped.

 

[8Ball]

Its Eric Hollies all over again

 

[ANTiLAG]

With that dismissal, just like the original Don, Don 2.0 has had his average slip under 100.

It is now 97.46.

Although Cumming may disagree and suggest it is more.

 

[Pete Cash]

Four caught and bowled in an innings feels like a lot too

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Most c&b in a test innings.

 

[Twizzle]

indicates that the pitch is stopping a bit

 

[JJ]

Like JJ said at the start, this deck is renowned for a draw. NZ bat to their potential (think Perth) then will be a draw.

Our only hope for a win is if we take 3-4 wickets with the new ball when we bowl. Then the remaining wickets when new ball is due

No Taylor here - but yes, potentially salvageable given a pretty special batting effort.

Australia have done everything pretty much perfectly so far, the Don decision is a biggie - and :lol: at all the no-balls Bracewell was bowling without penalty this morning - too funny

 

[Snappy]

that wasnt a no ball. Now we're even.

 

[aussies1st]

WTF where was the no ball.

 

[Twatface Magee]

Illingworth is a liability.

 

[Iafeta]

Illingworth is blind as a bat. I don't get why we can't have a similar piece of technology to what tennis has for faults. His partner Kettleborough missed about 3 or 4 no balls off Bracewell this morning. We need technology for no balls now it seems.
