2nd Test: New Zealand v Australia at Christchurch on Feb 20-24, 2016

Again like last night Marsh should have tried to hit that for 6 or just not bothered.

 

[_snafu_]

What a peanut.

 

[JJ]

Couldn't free the levers :lol: Same can be said for a few in our lineup, but Marsh looks a long way from a test batsman to me

 

[chigurh]

Let it go or hit him for 6, just stop doing...that!

 

[Pete Cash]

Also I wouldnt advertise hideously ugly shots but if Wagner wants to bowl like that back down to the leg side and hit it through off. The ball was at about waist high.

 

[hineyrulz]

f**king Darsh!!

 

[8Ball]

Marsh is obviously a development project. His bowling has come along in leaps and bounds. We can carry him whilst our batting continues to hold up the way it has been.

Looks like Nevill is going to have to be aggressive here. f**k all batting to come, I know Sids made runs last test..that means he's due a first-baller

 

[Pete Cash]

Hmmm 100 runs is about the minimum lead I would have wanted. Still its better than nothing innit.

 

[JJ]

This is why people like Wagner, when all else is lost he charges in and gets people out... it's often not clear why

 

[8Ball]

God, this is really poor stuff.

 

[ANTiLAG]

Wagner has to be third seamer moving forward.

He should not keep getting dropped when he is consistently effective for a couple of years now

 

[JJ]

Are we back? :lol:

 

[Pete Cash]

Are we back? :lol:

lol no

Bowls to his field. If the pitch is flat, he goes leg theory.

Game changed when Smithy & Burns got out to tired shots late yesterday. What should have been a position of real dominance has been downgraded to a handy first innings lead.

 

[JJ]

lol no

nah, probably not - actually don't think is bad for Australia - we're due a good effort, if we were in a huge hole we might hang on - with this they might be irresponsible

 

[Pete Cash]

500 is a gigantic first innings score.

Wagner should have bowled more earlier, too.

Yep, but it was looking worse than that yesterday
