NZ v Australia Test #2

[No Quarter]

Fastest ever test 100.. 56 balls. Baz 96 from 53.

[No Quarter]

Got it!!!! What a fucking innings. Just unbelievable.<br><br>
Baz, take a fucking bow son.

[No Quarter]

That 100 is even more special given this pitch is a bowlers fucking paradise on day 1.<br><br>
Anderson smacks Lyon for 6 and moves 37 from 23.<br><br>
What the hell is going on??

[barbarian]

<p>Wow! That was truly special. What a moment. Incredible innings, plenty of luck but a perfect summation of his career.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Love it when a bloke goes out on a high like this.</p>

[dingo]

<p>BMac - what a way to finish your test career!  Nothing wrong with his eye, shame his back his buggered or he'd have a year or two left in him yet.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Awesome stuff though, one of crickets's most destructive players when its his day.  We'll miss him as a player and a bloke.</p>

[TeWaio]

Wow. So glad I stayed up for this. Missus came in to tell me to come to bed and ended up asleep in my lap on the couch....got a bit of a fright when the ton came up

<p>I got a chubby watching that too</p>

[No Quarter]

Anderson says to hell with blocking out Lyon, I'll just wait for the bad ball and smack the shit out of it.

[Gunner]

What the actual fuck?<br><br>
Last time I checked in - maybe an hour ago, Herb had just faced his first ball, and we were up to our eyeballs in canary yellow poo at 60-70 odd for 4.<br><br>
Baz you're insane.

[Godder]

Final test, so he collects the last speed record going...

[No Quarter]

50 from 39 balls for Corey.

[mariner4life]

Um what the fuck? I go out we're 3 for nothing off a thousand. I come home and this has happened? Cricket gods love them some Baz

[Gunner]

Baz - 102 runs out of his 119 in boundaries.<br><br>
Herb - 44 runs out of his 50 in boundaries.<br><br>
These lads in a hurry?

[NTA]

<p>Pattinson sounds like he's forgotten what wicket taking looks like - beyond the stupid fucking childish no-ball situation, his line and length just isn't Test quality.</p>

[mariner4life]

There's some agricultural shit being played out there

[No Quarter]

This session so far: 1 wicket, 164 runs from 17 overs at 9.25 an over.<br><br>
Aaahhhh WTF!

I was in no way serious when I made this comment....

[barbarian]

<p>Cricket is a fucking funny game sometimes.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In the first test we cried that NZ batsmen didn't respect their wickets, weren't patient enough, played at too many balls they should have left.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Williamson, Latham and Nicholls obviously take note of this, and try and grind through a tough period. They play the classical, gritty innings that we were all craving in the first test, and all lose their wickets to decent balls and great catches on a seaming deck.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Then McCullum comes in and throws all of this out the window, swinging like a dunny door. Gets a few lucky edges, catch off a no-ball and he's away. Against all advice or technique, he has gone a long way to winning the game for the Black Caps.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Poor old Kane would be spewing.</p>
<p>.</p>

[Gunner]

Partnership 175 at 10 an over.<br><br>
Man test cricket is boring.

[No Quarter]

Baz goes for 145 from 79 balls.<br><br>
Special innings.
