3rd Test: Australia v New Zealand at Adelaide on Nov 27-Dec 1, 2015

Siddle tries hard, there's no denying that, he's just not up to it IMO.

Levers aren't long enough, some grounds are too big for him, and body language not assertive enough

 

[Light Reflections]

Bird > Siddle

Is it still a bat first pitch when Australia win the toss? :lol:

We mostly do regardless of the deck

Unless your the opposing captain like the poms at the Gabba and send us in :lol:

Brayshaw talking sense regarding test cricket

Yeah, or you're the opposing captain and have Richard Hadlee

You got it all wrong, he quite simply does not have enough toys.

Bird > Siddle

Yep.

If the pink ball does as much as the hype suggests (I've got my doubts) then Bird would have been a good pick. He's probably just a better bowler full stop too.

Can understand them giving Siddle a go with his experience though, provided it is just a one off and Pattinson plays against West Indies.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

It's nice they've updated the team list graphics from a red ball to denote a bowler, to a pink ball.

If you can change...and we can change...

 

[JJ]

What's the wicket look like? We have an extra spinner and will bat?

 

[JJ]

bit disappointed Wagner's not playing tbh

 

[jargan83]

From Cricinfo: NZ win the toss and will bat first.

 

[Pete Cash]

Bit of green on it...clearly a bat first wicket but not as blatant as the waca

 

[Timbo]

Oh good. Warne back for commentary.

Excited to hear fapping about Wade and favourite pizza toppings.

 

[TheParraboy]

whos that old bloke with the beer gut? looks like he is limbering up and is gonna field at third man

 

[TheParraboy]

kiwis should post 400 plus easily, wicket looks sublime for batting

 

[jargan83]

Kiwis are paying $3.50 for a win (were $4.75 pre toss).

Might have to get on board.

 

[tomdl]

There is no way that was hitting the stumps. Hawkeye is off it's tits

 

[tomdl]

Guptill is shit

 

[TheParraboy]

Guptill out, no big loss really

NZ 1/7

 

[Timbo]

Guptill out cheaply to a moving ball? Well I never....
