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

Yus another one. Pattinson sure has a f**ken mouth on him.

Doug Bracewell is gun, and people were praising Siddle's figures on this pitch...

Bracewell >>>>> Siddle

IF I could go back during this thread I would find a few peoples idiots comments about batsman and how "its not as if we are loosing".

If It keeps happening it will catch up with us, and regardless of whether NZ finish this off or not (they certainly should), then this is proof.

Warner has to take a chance now....risk getting out by chasing the runs himself. Poor kid, he's batted far too well to be in this position.

Oops, well, that's it, test match is over now barring a miracle

 

[HevyDevy]

Australian cricket resurgence over.

 

[aussies1st]

Bracewell a star in the making.

 

[Hallatia]

oh wow. Now I think New Zealand might win. But Lyon has proven capable of staying out there

 

[hineyrulz]

Only Hughes is out of form apparently. What's Ponting done since Roach bent him over?

Well besides his dodgy double ton against the Pakis he's hit the ball well in the nets.

Poor Warner his knock looks like going to waste, and apprently the 20/20 slogger.

 

[African Monkey]

And another one!!!!

 

[Earl]

What the f**k are they doing?

- chased it did Haddin and got a thick edge, straight into the hands of Taylor at first slip

- Siddle prods at that one, gets a thick edge and Ryder at second slip makes no mistake, moving low to his left

- Pattinson reached for that one and got a thick edge and Guptill snapped it easily at second slip

Leave the f**king thing alone

 

[Leagueaddict]

Starc!!! Gone...Never say die...last gasp

 

[aqua_duck]

Our top order is too unreliable, our middle order is far too brittle and our tail is way too long

 

[JJ]

There's only ONE DOUGHIE BRACEWELL, one Dougie Bracewell :lol:

Pattinson left one and nearly got out

Can't blame the tail IMO. It shouldn't be up to them to win the game with the bat. Sure, sometimes they do it, but it's harsh to rely on them. Clarke, Ponting, Haddin, Hughes, Khawaja are the ones who could have changed this result by just using their head a bit

2 good leaves by Lyon, if only those above him had the same idea

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Where are the calls to drop Ponting and Hussey?

 

[JJ]

I'm not counting chickens yet - Warner could get lucky here...

Regardless, fine innings by him...

Punter looked terrible

Unfortunately the depth isn't there for us to afford that luxury atm
