***Official*** Australia in New Zealand 2016

[hendrix]

Time for Anderson to give the charge?

I do think being down the pitch wouldn't be a bad thing.

But he's holding his nerve so can't fault him either way tbh.

 

[Meridio]

Ooh, by the standards of the fielding of these teams that's a pretty regulation catch. Big let off for Anderson.

 

[burr]

Oooh, might be this Anderson fellow's day. And Australia does have a long tail. It's getting interesting!

 

[BeeGee]

Patto must be pulling his hair out. Bowling beautifully, but let down by Marsh.

 

[Athlai]

God damn it Corey, lose the ball FFS.

 

[straw man]

Yeah he has a reasonable approach, I just feel it has a limited life. Well done to him so far though.

 

[Burgey]

You need a bit of luck to get through this sort of bowling. If these two can push on from here we could have a decent finish. If one or both go now, I'd hate to be a new batsman coming in to face this.

I think being a couple of feet down the pitch would eliminate the LBW at least.

 

[Gnske]

Smith must be mad not to have a slip in with these memey tactics. Sure its reversing but Kane will do a Lords once it dies down if there's no slip in.

 

[Meridio]

Man, it's going miles. This is the biggest amount of reverse swing I've seen for a long time. Only other time in NZ that I can recall was that test in about 2005 vs WI, when Bond took 5 (from memory).

that the first good choice of music for the super slow mo?

4000 up. Noice.

Got it on mute. What was it?

Kane's turned it up a notch in the last couple of overs.

Hazlewood/Pattinson not bowling probably a welcome relief.

 

[kiwiviktor81]

This Aussie side might not have a McGrath but they have 4-5 bowlers of the Gillespie level of quality.

 

[Blanco]

Don't know if this has been said but Bird looks a shadow of the bowler he once was.

I quite enjoyed Maroon 5's 'Sugar' being played to a slow motion montage of McCullum strokeplay. I'd like it if they went for a more retro 80's approach, maybe a montage set to 'Eye of the Tiger' or 'the Final Countdown'.

Mark Gillespie wasn't that good
