Did anybody see Southee's spell v Wellington. 25 overs, 8 wickets for 27 runs

 

[Hallatia]

Not a great start to their second batting innings for New Zealand =|
0/2 after 2.2 overs is insane:crazy: but Taylor and McIntosh are steadying the ship

How dumb is Peter Fulton? huge inside edge, gets given LBW and doesnt appeal it, he just walks off

Shouldn't be anywhere near international cricket anyway

OMG that no ball is as close as it gets on that review, his foot looked behind the line when it planted and slid forward. But i guess that is still a no ball. Lol@ Crowe, McMillan and Smith having a big argument about it in the commentary box:lol:

Agreed, and you can add McIntosh to that. I predicted they'd score about 50 runs between them in this test. They managed to get 60, but McIntosh ran out our best batsmen and completely killed any momentum the team had in the process :crazy:

Fulton also found a new nickname - 'Simple Two Meter Peter'.

New Zealand all out for 153 to give them a lead of 250... Poised for an interesting finish, if we should see a result today, I can't call it though ... just got to see how New Zealand go with the ball today...

 

[Hallatia]

4 maidens to open the innings, great bowling, wickets would make it sweeter

 

[Collingwood Storm]

Pakis 3 down already

 

[Hallatia]

at this rate, New Zealand could be done before lunch ....

 

[African Monkey]

Well done to our fast bowlers for keeping us in the match. I'm just wondering where our 'world class' spinner has been for the last innings.

New Zealand's second innings batting collapse is what paved the way for a result, and their second innings bowling was for the most part fantastic

Do you think they would've played out for a draw otherwise?

well, they all got out. Their second batting innings did not start too well and did not get much better, Taylor and McIntosh looked to be steadying, but didn't even get a century partnership. All out for 153 is a pretty poor effort, the Kiwis were almost ready to let go of their wickets, which really says no, they would not have played out for a draw...

[Hallatia]

it's good to see Bondy allowed back in the team ... that ICL crap was ridiculous ...
