2nd 3-Mobile Test @ Adelaide Oval:: Nov 28-Dec 2 :: Australia won by Inns and 62 runs

[JJ]

Aussies without getting out of second gear

Clearly we (NZ) have a significant advantage with our spinner, but not enough to close tha gap with our diabolical batting - nonetheless, with Fulton at 5, McCullum at 7, and Vettori at 8 it's a better lineup.

Don't see a need to play Patel, Redmond's a decent leg-spinner - better than he is an opening bat , and better substantially than Cameron White

 

[lockyno1]

are the selectors fu cking serious? Nathan Hauritz?!

There's a reason he's carrying drinks for the greatest domestic side in the country, I don't see why he should be wearing the baggy green. Krejza paid off for them, but White didn't. Why is there an insistence to try out every spinner bar Casson? Or is Beau's trial period finished already?

Casson has 1 wicket at an average of 246 this season..that is the reason!:lol:

 

[Jobdog]

Vettori has won the toss and the Kiwis will bat first.

 

[blain]

ozzie by 9 wickets or 200 runs. i think our bowling is ok, just the mentality of our batsmen. if they can dig in and get the shine off the ball early, we could make 300+. but in saying that it hasnt happened for a long time against a good team.

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

Sh*t I missed the start. According to Sky the first session coverage goes until 3:30 NZ time, and the 2nd session coverage starts at 4, must be a mistake?

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

Strangely low-key start. No crowd, no atmosphere, and already the pitch looks flat as a pancake. sh*t, we might make 200.

[Twizzle]

pitch looks like a road, kiwis seem to be batting OK atm

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

the real bowling hasn't begun ... we'll see fireworks when symonds gets the red leather

 

[Twizzle]

Mitch is on now, he nearly swung one in the last over

 

[The Colonel]

It moved about that much..... []

Almost swung one.

 

[Twizzle]

and Mitch gets a wicket by bowling a half volley 1 metre wide of the off stump

Howe gone, ct Hadden

 

[aussies1st]

Geez don't know how Mitch does it but we needed that

 

[Twizzle]

Hauri on and getting belted for four, six and another six of his first over

 

[Tommy Smith]

LOL at Hauritz.

6 of the worst PIES ive ever seen.

Smashed for two 6s and a 4 by Aaron Redmond.

GOLD.

 

[Tommy Smith]

What's worse - Australia's spin bowling stocks or Africas food stocks?

 

[aussies1st]

What can you do when your two main spinners have been hit down by injury.
