2nd Test - Australia v New Zealand Hobart Dec 9 - Dec 13 2011

[aussies1st]

First Hughes and now Ponting getting out in similar fashion.

 

[Mr Angry]

Still there for the bowlers, I want to bowl.

How deadly would Watson be on this green deck.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Ponting out to an LBW where he walks too far across the line, again.

First Hughes and now Ponting getting out in similar fashion.

Too difficult to judge but Hughes is in a spot of bother and Ponting won't be far away with efforts like that.

 

[Leagueaddict]

The commies called it. Straight bowl in line = LBW for Ponting

 

[Iafeta]

Watson with his natural length would be difficult. I reckon blokes like McGrath, Akram or Ambrose would be absolutely unplayable.

 

[Mr Angry]

How many lives for Clarke, the kiwis don't like getting him out.

 

[typicalfan]

Could be Oozi's day

 

[Big_Bad_Shark_Fan]

Any bowler who bowls to the seem and can keep it in good areas would be very hard to play.

Hell if Martin keeps it in the right areas hes unplayable.

From todays era, Philander would be doing everything while as a combo Tremlett/Anderson and even a few of the Pakis would be hard to play.

 

[ElectricEelMan]

Brownlie's 50 odd should be equated to a big century. No other batsmen has scored above 20.

Good to see a pitch where the batsmen have to battle hard to score.

 

[Leagueaddict]

Taylor goes for the big Call...

 

[Mr Angry]

Clarke 1

 

[skeepe]

Taylor looked like a prize wanker then. What a dickhead.

 

[Mr Angry]

Sometimes it ain't bouncing too.

 

[Iafeta]

That last ball from Southee to Khawaja... this surface is seriously wickedly bad for batting. Great for bowling. A true test of batsman's courage. Not sure how much of it still exists after all the roads we've been getting over the past 10 years.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

Nobody is going to get runs on this wicket.
I won't be writing anyone off for getting no runs on it.

 

[typicalfan]

Clarke batting well, you can see him purposefully getting his pad outside the line of the stumps.

 

[typicalfan]

Martin surely just bowled his fastest ball ever, 141kph as opposed to his usual 123-128kph

 

[aussies1st]

Hughes lives to fight another day as his last competitor departs.

 

[Dragon]

Nice bowling NZ
