[The Mad Hatter]

Right- now these guys need to be there at stumps

Spoke too soon.

[The Mad Hatter]

Will Boult bat?

 

[hineyrulz]

Reckon its time to drop Lyon and bring in Swepson.

 

[hineyrulz]

Labs should of had a bowl hours ago.

 

[Eelementary]

Yeah but Rashid is a product of very different conditions. He's still very impressive

Oh, I agree - Rashid's technique is very different, but no less impressive.

But watching Warne reminded me of why I loved watching him bowl - he was just a freak.

 

[Dave's mate]

With the emergence of this Blundell fella the Kiwis are only 10 players short of being a competitive test side

 

[hineyrulz]

Southee going Westie.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Blundell dogged Southee there. Tsk tsk.

 

[Meth]

It’s amazing that run outs like that happen at an international level

 

[mave]

Even the Kiwis want to get to Warnies pool party

 

[The Mad Hatter]

I want tomorrow off too.

 

[hineyrulz]

Blundell dogged Southee there. Tsk tsk.

There was a run there all day, Southee just went full genius.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Batting in a cap is a beautiful sight to see.

 

[Meth]

It’s amazing that run outs like that happen at an international level

there should be an understanding in the team- as soon as there’s a bit of a stutter of indecision, get back into your crease. We need the wicket, not the run

 

[hineyrulz]

Batting in a cap is a beautiful sight to see.

Warnie says no.

 

[King hit]

Anyone see the lunch cricket show on Fox?

You had Shane Warne explaining, and demonstrating, the art of wrist spin bowling, with Rashid Khan.

Warne is a twat, but...f**k me, he is a brilliant player.

His first demonstration was a leg spinner that pitched outside leg, and ripped viciously back to take middle, and off...

Meanwhile, Rashid Khan is simply bowling 90 kph+, mildly spinning deliveries. He showed nothing.

Warne is a tool, but he remains an incredible bowler.

Only geniused people deny Warne’s greatness on the field

 

[The Mad Hatter]

If Wagner can just bat all day tomorrow then this could get interesting.

 

[Eelectrica]

MOTM effort from Warnie. Clearly Lyon wouldn't have picked up any wickets at all without his motivation.

 

[JJ]

Pleased for Blundell he’s a seriously good keeper/bat... guess we’ll be playing two keepers for a while

Big reality check for those banging on about how this might be the best NZ test team ever... maybe too 3-5 somewhere

Pretty embarrassing series sadly
