Would still expect it to move a bit
|
|
By:
Batting should be fairly easy for Aus when they come in, but the ball doesn't need to move much to cause them problems. NZ could be batting again tomorrow.
|

By:
surprise surprise ball hits the stumps in NZ and the bails don't come up
cant remember the last time that happened oops yeah I can..twice in the last test in NZ  |
|
By:
absolutely pathetic effort from NZ
|
|
By:
I cannot work out the price on NZ at the moment. Surely they are too low now?
|
|
By:
draw not a runner NZ need to bowl out aus for under 200 for approx 20% of the time to justify their price
seems fair to me not involved pre match on this game |

By:
Just need another 100 from this pair
 |
|
By:
well yeah if its 167 & 600 plays 600 then draw is a runner but realistically 9 wickets before tea on 1st day with a decent weather f/c draw is normally a dead duck

ok juce
t20 skills being practiced in tests  |

By:
+27k draw, -6k Aus, +3k NZ.
Not looking good, Gulp |
|
By:
out!
|
|
By:
out, this could get interesting. Does not really help your big + on the draw though does it Jucel?
|
|
By:
think the duck just died
|
|
By:
I've got quick pics today so managed to offload some draw before the wicket
|
|
By:
voges and marsh the real threat in this aussie line up under difficult batting conditions.
be surprised if khawaja and warner last long. |
|
By:
I now need about evens to get down to a manageable loss
|
|
By:
Batting does look very very easy even with the new ball which seems ominous, the first wicket regardless.... I may go on overs on run lines at 300.... wait a few more overs to see if any swing about.
|
|
By:
beauty!!!!!!!
|
|
By:
little imp is out
 |
|
By:
yep another one, thanks David... gives me another chance :)
|
|
By:
one more quickly and I can walk away from this game for a while
|
|
By:
i would have opened with marsh and voges today.
it's a ****g terrible opening pair when there's anything in the wicket. tough to underestimate just quite how good chris rogers was, exceptional test player imho. way way better opener than warner. |
|
By:
c'mon one more poor shot, please.
|
|
By:
actually it's really not that bad to bat on is it.
nice carry, no swing and boult's not getting any nibble.... |
|
By:
and generally it only gets better to bat on.
|
|
By:
thats why Im going to go over 300's
|
|
By:
The kookaburra ball is a national disgrace
|
|
By:
this is really starting to look ominous. Famous last words maybe but this could get away from NZ quickly.
|
|
By:
Day 5 forecast now,
Fine spells, few showers in north. Whatever 'in north' means. |
|
By:
Aus get to stumps still 2 down, I'd say NZ have no chance (batting last won't be much of a disadvantage for Aus). Lay NZ time.
|

By:
Have just seen the 'no-ball' that wasn't. (Voges bowled by Bracewell)
This is classic ICC and it's inability to see past their nose. Illingworth called it wrong on the field but because of this obsession with giving the standing umpire more power than the 3rd umpire, the decision cannot be overruled. I haven't had a bet yet so not book talking. Glad I didn't lay Oz - I would have been livid. The stupidity of this decision or lack of one is made worse by the fact the standing umps often don't bother checking for no balls and refer them when a wicket falls!! |
|
By:
Can the bowler call for a review? Always wondered that. Also when someone like Tait cuts the return crease can the non striker ask for a review if he knows it is a no ball?
I can imagine all you DRS Seethers seething |
|
By:
Apparently the ICC have discussed on a few occasions (see cricinfo).
No, they can't ask for a review. I bet they will change that after this though. Surely all it takes is for the umpire to just ask the 3rd ump to check as the batsman is walking off. |
|
By:
Why cant the moron sittig on the 3rd umpire's seat check the noaball in real time for every delivery and show it on the screen(or turn on a light) when the bowler oversteps? What does he do the whole da anyways? What are his tasks other than when the decision is refered to him? If he is too busy, why cant they have a separate person do this?
