<p>Still trying to pretend that taller bowlers don't find it easier to get more bounce?</p>

<p>He's not even tall. Nice gutsy innings though.</p>

[Donsteppa]

<p>To continue the theme of the summer, the batsmen leave it to the bowlers to pull the game out of the fire....</p>

[NTA]

<p>At least Boult's arms will be warmed up by now.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Now its time for me to ignore the presence of cricket for the rest of the day's play. Laters!</p>

[Mokey]

<p>Anderson and Craig and Boult take a bow, but fuck me days the rest can give themselves an uppercut.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What an absolutely woeful batting performance from players who actually ARE in form. (Yes, Hazlewood bowled well, but a few LEAVES and half those wickets wouldn't have happened.)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>There are a few players who better not drop any catches this afternoon.</p>

Steady on, let's not start celebrating a massive test win too soon...

[No Quarter]

<p>Looks like Southee has got Burns first over strangled down the leg side. Whoop whoop!!</p>

[MN5]

<p><u>Well that's a handy start</u></p>

[No Quarter]

<p>Time to give Khawaja a good wajjering.</p>

[Gunner]

<p>One could say we're ahead of the Aussies at this stage...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We got to 17 before we lost our first wicket :whistle: .............</p>

[Donsteppa]

<p>Runs on the board...</p>

[Smudge]

<p>That helps... </p>

[Donsteppa]

<p>GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE</p>
<p> </p>

<p>Southee to Warner, <span>OUT</span>, poor shot, very poor shot but that's his instinct. It was a tad short, it was miles wide and Warner went after it. No feet. flay of the hands, outside edge lands in Watling's gloves and the Basin is hooting and howling and wolf-whistling</p>
<p class="">DA Warner c †Watling b Southee 5 (7b 0x4 0x6) SR: 71.42</p>

<p>surely gotta be some bum chat out there?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Bloody Southee, just there on reputation!</p>

[Donsteppa]

<p>Players think it's an ODI?</p>

[ACT Crusader]

<p>It's Australia's to lose and they are crumbling under the pressure :whistle:  :whistle:</p>

[Virgil]

Not there for his batting that's for sure

<p>Pretty lucky to be playing if you ask me...</p>

[taniwharugby]

<p>Usman must be bummed to see his openers gone....</p>
