An interesting side note but relevant I think with the batsmens scores this series; has anyone read the article and seen the picture of Barry Richards holding both his bat he used 45 years ago and the one David Warner and the modern batsmen use?

Holy f**k, the difference is, as we knew, insane. But to see it side by side is pretty funny. Anyway these bat sizes must be reined in. They're just ridiculous. It's only 3oz heavier, too.

Always enjoy listening to Barry Richards comments, I had the honour of meeting him once. He spoke more sense about the game of cricket in 5 mins then anyone I have ever met. Such a shame the world never got to see the best of him.

An AFL player. Yawn.

Why the f**k do Nine insist on giving coverage to a sport that is the direct opponent to their own winter code?

Starc is a big loss. He's such a fantastic bowler. It'll be interesting to see how Australia go without him in the second innings.

Crucial session this one.

If NZ are going to have any chance, we need 2-3 wickets in the first session and one of them needs to be Smith.

Be interesting to see who replaces him in the squad.

Bird seems the obvious option but maybe they go for a smoky?

Edge for 4. Edge dot ball. Edge wicket.

Great batting Voges. Why do we insist on all these medicore old batsmen? Give the next generation a go like they did with Smith and Warner. Smith and Warner were raw when they started but look at how they've become world class.

Shield cricket is shit for developing world class batsmen these days.

Commentators sounding like they really want Marsh to make a big score. I hope he gets out very soon.
