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

[The Charlatan]

I wouldn't worry too much. They're good bowlers and most class bowlers come good after a shit patch.

Swing bowlers will overdo it when they can't move the ball. Look at Siddle when the ball doesn't move, he is pus on two legs. Might bowl economically and tie up an end most days, but you can't count f**k all on him taking a swathe of key wickets like Haze, Patto or Starc can. And when he gets punished, he gets f**king punished.

And yet, with tests against England, New Zealand and the Windies, Sids is averaging low 20's in his last 5 tests.

I agree Sids is not as good as Hazelwood and Patto by a long way - but he is ahead of Boult and Southee right now on form by a long way too.

lmao, I can't believe Wagner got a 5'fer in the first inning bowling this sort of rubbish

he'd be going for 15 runs an over in a ODI game

 

[TheParraboy]

NZ really need a couple of wickets here

 

[TheParraboy]

ok they could have one ..

 

[blaza88z]

Another unbelievably shit delivery that gets a wicket for Wagner

 

[Hutty1986]

Another superb innings in NZ from Warner.

Really need these two to get through until stumps now.

 

[chigurh]

Shit series from Warner. Burns had all the strike against Wagner and showed him how it was done.

 

[Iafeta]

How good is Ranmore Martinez going. Old mate still wanted to give Warner out. Had to be persuaded to overturn it

 

[hineyrulz]

Wagner must be a really great guy, 7 absolute gifts for him this match.

This shit should have been bowled a lot earlier in the first innings imo.

 

[blaza88z]

So he should be calling these.. this is boring, he's not even trying to get him out

The blokes an idiot.
Always got that stupid looking smile on his face in the background.

Course he is. He wants him to play a high risk shot.

Embarrasing for Trent to only try reverse swing this innings.

They're only chasing 200.. :lol:

Wagner is not the problem there. Tim Trent and Matt are

 

[Rod]

he'd be going for 15 runs an over in a ODI game

Tell us more about how tests and ODI's are the same....

 

[Pete Cash]

So a little over a third of the way there. Lots of wickets in hand. Good position to be in. I was furiously refreshing cricinfo during that last over though lol

Cross seam bouncers when the ball isn't even 10 overs old is rubbish, it doesn't matter what format you're playing

 

[TheParraboy]

Australia 2-0

Only saving grace for NZ is 2 early wickets and put the likes of Voges and Marsh under pressure

shame really, the way they were going thought NZ would put on another 60-80 odd to make a real game of it
