Australia v NZ - CH Series I

[LABCAT]

I think injury prevented Wheeler from getting enough of a run to determine whether or not he would be a success. Plus he also played in the England series where almost every innings was close to 400 so he figures don't look so good because of that.

Santner has been very good today. I would be planning to give him 10 overs at this stage.

[NTA]

Interesting stat

[hydro11]

Australia have punished our no balls quite well. We have bowled 6 wides on top of that as well. It's already about 20 extra runs.

[Bovidae]

I haven't watched all the game. Has Kane used the DRS review yet? If not, the decision not to ask for a review on the Smith LBW has come back to haunt NZ bigtime.

No. I still think Williamson made the right all at the time though.

[KiwiMurph]

Not sure why Ferguson is bowling at the moment - poor move by Wlliamson imo.

[hydro11]

I wonder if they will give Ferguson another over. If they don't then Neesham/De Grandhomme have 2 overs between them.

Henry that is a fucking sitter. We've left a few wickets out there, disappointing.

Bad miss - we would have had them under real pressure - but, instead they're off the hook and looking like 300 now.

Ferguson learning about international cricket - far too many no-balls. Smith scored 11 off the last one.

[hydro11]

Poor old Neesham. He shouldn't be bowling now, really. I suppose we miss Anderson a bit because he is a decent death bowler.

[NTA]

Farrrrrrk Smith just pounded that shit.

We have completely lost our way here. Substandard all round since Henry dropped that sitter

[canefan]

Munro drops a makeable catch

Dropping Smith a couple of times and and lbw not reviewed didn't help

Neesham bowling three wides in an over, either

[NTA]

Despite moderate temperatures it's pretty fucking humid out there. Sapping.

[hydro11]

I don't like our chances of chasing that down, given our batting line up. We have the power but we need someone to anchor it.

Yeah - this has got the hallmarks of getting very ugly. Our bowling looked like our strong suit and it's been pummeled. Our batting looks to have a lot of guys that you hope might come off rather than expect to come off.

If they get Kane cheaply it could easily be a rout!

[Bovidae]

@hydro11 Do you still think that? I would have rolled the dice for Smith.

[booboo]

I hate cricket

It's what I would have done at the time. It hit Smith on the top of the knee roll - hard to get those overturned. I think that was a situation where there wasn't really a right or wrong option.
