Vanilla Coke > Tony Lemonade

And Shayne O'Connor, David Sewell and Andrew Penn after that. Carl Bulfin 12th man.

Now there's a blast from the past!

Bulfin was a pretty handy cricketer at Max level.

Needs Shane Warne in a back-from-retirement Captain Coach role.

If it's the Simon Davis I am thinking of, he was a fair white ball bowler?

True he was hard to get away in the Gavin larson style but not a test cricketers arsehole.

This one's for tommy: Adam Zampa enters this game as the world's leading ODI wicket-taker in 2016, with 30 scalps at 27.80

Cool and muggy in CanBra today, heavy cloud cover at the moment and still rain about.

 

[Bazal]

Game on

Bit of rain about, but looks to be clear during game time
Hopefully the drainage system is ok at Manuka, otherwise could be a delayed start

kiwis to level the series here, they are gun Chappell-Hadlee performers, kinda like the ABs and the Bledisloe

1-1 going into game 3, nothing surer

Drainage is normally excellent. It'll need to be though, it thumped down last night

Fking kept me awake til 3am lol

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

And Shayne O'Connor, David Sewell and Andrew Penn after that. Carl Bulfin 12th man.

Needs more Richard de Groen and Warren Wisneski

and a few bottles of red

 

[Bazal]

I wish....!

Just got to Manuka. Light rain around, rumours it will delay the start but the gates aren't open yet so hard to say

 

[Twizzle]

PItch report Baz ?

You got your car keys ?

 

[Timbo]

Think the Kiwis will bounce back here.

If Southee had played in Sydney ahead of Ferguson I reckon they may have won the day.

It'll swing, I can tell you that.

I'll whack on a hi viz and see if I can mosey out in the middle when gates open.....

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Did Southee bring the kiwi conditions with him? Otherwise he's about as threatening as a my little pony.

The last 6 wins at manuka have been by the team batting first.

 

[JJ]

Hmmm, guess he has a Siddle like test record? His ODI record is pretty good - again, I'd have thought the likes of Davidson, McGrath, and now Hazelwood - along with many others would have illustrated pace isn't the only thing a bowler needs...

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Bloody drizzle.

 

[Bazal]

There isn't any at the moment. Completely stopped

 

[Bazal]

Kane Bradmanson wins the toss and bowls.

Good decision
