Been cool in Perth last couple of weeks, although it will heat up this week. Pitch might be a bit greener than usual. No rain in forecast.
Aus sub 1.4 on here in a still thin market. Can't see any result except an Aus win, but too short currently for me. I'll just trade the draw for now, until I hear about the pitch.

Think regardless, worth a tickle lay. Regardless, I think NZ would come out with a win in mind. That and wickets would shoot the draw price out before they shut up shop, should that happen.
yeh I wrote that before Marsh got out. Aus could fold from here in the next 30 overs
Yeah, but you are of course right. Just that I am not somebody that likes short odds for backing. Might be big odds if that were true for a pure bet.
I am treading carefully for a while. Still enough batting to tie up plenty of overs should that be the goal. All good suggesting that NZ would shut up shop leading to a draw, but no reason Aus can't do that too.
New ball doubt is taken given what the ball is doing at the moment.

Would be good for the test if it comes down to a 50 over shoot out
They can always add an hour for any showers. Bad light isn't a problem in Perth
4.6 RRR if declare now.
4 overs, chase 285, 5.28 an over.
I suspect we see 6 overs, target 300, leaving 301 to chase in 52 overs, at 5.788 runs an over.
Think McCullum would need to open to get a big move on the draw. The others are a little more sensible. BM would need to open to set the theme of the chase, otherwise probably a set up to get closer to attempt a chase down the track.
We have seen the right armers targetting the cracks, and getting decent results, but ultimately too wide to need to play. The left armers could well come around the wicket giving them a much better angle at the cracks, and could be a minefield.
Not convinced this will be a draw, but obviously most likely result.

I expect Aus to bat at least another 10 overs. NZ could always implode, but I'd say that's pretty unlikely.
Smith might be young and fresh but to win tests you have to be fearless and have some Nuts. ????
Rain coming, but won't last longer than 20 minutes... Can make that up. Doubt we lose any overs.
Wake me up at some point. I do have a little interest in Aus but I need the dec. Whats the point of turning up if you don't want the win??????. Boring boring Aus. How times have changed.

Another padded up. Maybe just for show? Can't believe they would send another in. Surely not.
Must be for show then. Khawaja won't bat...
And there it is.
And there it is.
Dumped out of my draw lay. Although may get back in. Rain should be for about 15 minutes, will have a bit in it. May coincide with the teabreak though with any luck. Don't want to get caught on a draw lay when it rains, although surely it is already factored in.
NZ haven't had a draw in 12 months. 2 in 18 months. I believe they will come out with intent. May be able to at least sneak a 1.1 to 1.25 lay in .

Yeah, but sweeping through at about 40km/h so only about 10 minutes of rain in it. By the looks.
Looking for a couple of quick wickets, or quick runs.

I'm of the opinion no have a better chance of winning this than Australia. I too think they will show intent in this chase. But if they get to 4-5 down they may shut down shop
Already starting to be beyond them. Going to have to write this one off soon. Near end the game where I started. As per usual. Need to just walk the last day.
Question becomes now, can Aus bowl them out in 45 overs.
2 most attacking teams in cricket, have been 1 big fizz.....

couple of big overs will send the draw market in a frenzy
Showing zero intent. Outside of the bowler bowling wides and no balls, NZ are no hope here. Looking at a very sick book ffs.
Don't think this was ever on. Like an ODI chase that looks too high, the rate just keeps climbing and unlike ODI, very hard to make it up later on.
Not much in it, but will rain. Can't really lay draw til its gone. And probably can't anyway.
Looking for my hail mary play.

Went for a frivolous £20 on the NZ win hoping another couple of big overs might bring them in from 80s but there's not been even an attempted run scoring stroke since. Oh well, I did say myself it wasn't on.
think they will get back on he ground at some stage
4pm The final session is scheduled to start at 4:20pm with 38 overs remaining in the day.
NZ should change the batting line up, bring up the pinch hitters to give it a bit of a whack
last 2 shots maybe indicates Black caps might be still interested here
New Zealand require another 267 runs off 30 overs with 8 wickets remaining
NZ still playing their expansive aggressive shots here
Why shut down shop when you only have to negotiate 30 overs?
New Zealand require another 255 runs off 29 overs with 8 wickets remaining
New Zealand require another 254 runs off 29 overs with 8 wickets remaining
New Zealand require another 254 runs off 28 overs with 8 wickets remaining
CommBank Viewers Selectors Poll: Who replaces Johnson in Adelaide? Pattinson 34% Siddle 41% Fawd 6% Faulkner 9% Behrendorff 10%
NZ should treat it like a mini T20 game now 
That was disappointing did 50% of my green in on the draw lay in the latter part of the game
wd draw backers/traders
sad to say the WACA won't be missed if tests like this 1 are the future
