Aus v NZ -Chappell Hadlee series III - MCG

[KiwiMurph]

Much better effort NZ. Hustle in the field was certainly better - though I thought the throwing was woeful pretty much throughout - Watling was scrambling all over the place.

A positive from this series is Boult looks much closer to his best.

[Chris B.]

@NTA Warner made it look easy - no-one else seemed able to time it. Not sure why - it didn't look particularly difficult. We'll find out I guess.

On the face of it, it's not a total that should require us to do anything outrageous.

My guess is that we'll find it harder than it looks and we'll be a lot slower to 100 than we want - ~25 overs - who knows how many wickets down.

I'm at the G, been hydrating all afternoon watching some great cricket. Finally our bowlers give the batters a gettable score. GAME ON!

[NTA]

I'm stuck at the fucking school Christmas carols. I seem to remember posting something like that around this time last year.

[Donsteppa]

Ian Fucking Healy. That's twice now... you only carry your bat if you're not out.

[No Quarter]

Good to see Latham in a positive midset. I think he was stuck in test mode the first two games. Looking to score off every ball tonight.

[LABCAT]

Not sure about the first game but in the second game he looked like he was overwhelmed by the target.

[No Quarter]

Looked like that one held up a bit. Good start though, took some heat off Guppy.

[Mokey]

Wow, an actual decent bowling performance. Boult, Santner, de Grandhomme all tidy and took wickets. Not sure what the fuck Munro was doing.

Ok start, 48/1 off 10. Latham gone for 28.

[NTA]

Doing this at a canter. Conditions not tricky. Plenty of space to hit singles or threes. Predict these two will piss it in short of a miracle ball

[NTA]

Down leg

[NTA]

Shit. That's a stroke of luck

[Donsteppa]

We are shithouse at reviewing.

You can fuck off with your reverse jinxing. That's our thing.

[NTA]

If it's any consolation, I think Faulkner is a twat

[canefan]

Uh oh, Nicholls Munro and CDG up and I don't trust any of them

I was just going to say the same thing. You shut your jinxy gob, NTA!

[Mokey]

Nicholls better score some bloody runs. Surely he's in the last chance saloon.

[NTA]

Head job for Guptill.

[No Quarter]

Aaaaaannnnnnnnnnnndddd we're fucked.
