2nd Test: Australia v New Zealand at Perth on Nov 13-17, 2015

[KeepingTheFaith]

NZ being so so nice again. Quite sickening in fact these merkins.

That you Haddin? ;-)

 

[madunit]

Australia have killed any chance of a result. Msy as well bat the innings out now.

 

[Pete Cash]

Nz has bowled really well in fairness.

 

[undertaker]

NZ shooting themselves in the foot here bowling the spinner instead of opting for the new ball

Nz has bowled really well in fairness.

Yep, very well this morning.

Not sure why the spinner is on, you'd take the new ball before bowling this merkin.

:lol: No mate but your boys are just a little to sweet for my liking.

 

[hineyrulz]

New ball taken, this 5 or 6 overs will decide the game IMO.

 

[undertaker]

Tubby is delusional, thinking that Smith is going to declare to win the game.

Any chance of an Australian win went out the door when Smith got out early and only 20 runs or so were scored in that first hour. And as has been stated before, any early declaration from Australia is going to play perfectly into NZ's hands. NZ can shut up shop if they lose some early wickets and bat for a draw, but if they get off to a cracker of a start with wickets in hand, then they will win.

Agreed, unless he got off to a flier a draw or a Kiwi win was all that could of happened today.

New ball has brought runs, that has to be the worry for us when we are bowling.



Shot!!! Johnson going out with a bang.

 

[undertaker]

Low grubber from Boult then

 

[Pete Cash]

Its just a draw pitch. Its only because modern cricketers score so quickly is a result even slightly possible.

 

[undertaker]

Lunch. Australia lead by 266.

Those flurry of runs scored and no loss of wickets since the new ball was taken are going to be enough to secure the draw.

 

[hineyrulz]

Made it to lunch with a lead of 266, Neville playing a good tough innings here and showing why he probably should be batting ahead of MMarsh. Probably need about an hour of batting to make this game safe.

 

[The Charlatan]

Wonder if Uzi will be right to bat if they absolutely need him.

If McCullum and Taylor go for it, anything can happen. Need to bat on to put the Kiwi win beyond a possibility.

 

[some11]

Bat out the day, save our bowlers for the next test.

 

[chigurh]

Geez there are some plodders on the ABC. All three in the lunch break show agreed Australia had less to lose by pushing for a win than NZ, and one thought going to Adelaide 1-0 would be more of a risk than going 1-1 :?

I think for the first time in a while (perhaps my lifetime) I would prefer to listen to CH9 (if only be default).

 

[hineyrulz]

Ball stuffed again, these balls are more useless then a Bunniesman prediction.

 

[hineyrulz]

They keep taking about a declaration, are they on crack???


Look at how easy these two are playing the new ball???

 

[African Monkey]

They keep taking about a declaration, are they on crack????

Agreed. Don't know why they want to risk a loss when they're 1 up :crazy:.

 

[TheParraboy]

They keep taking about a declaration, are they on crack???

Ive been on the phone to them mate


declaration when we are 300-320 ahead I reckon
