NZ v Australia Test #2

[MN5]

<p>Pretty ugly reading those stats especially considering he's "dined out" on some shit to be fair, only Sri Lanka would have a remotely decent attack of that bunch.</p>

[Hooroo]

<p>That was a pretty sweet delivery from Pattinson. Guptill forced to played at it because of the length and it held it's line and then a late deviation. Got a just reward.</p>

<p>Too right but he just wibbled (not wobbled) the bat at it and got the customary edge. He is a bit of a walking wickat against any sort of decent bowling</p>

[taniwharugby]

<p>jeez these guys need to pick up the pace, batting so un-BC-like here!</p>

[MN5]

<p>Openers gone with not much on the board.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sounds like the BCs to me.</p>

[ACT Crusader]

<p>The nerves just cranked up a fair notch watching Baz walk out....</p>

[No Quarter]

Aussie have been getting big reverse swing from 15 - 20 over mark. Crazy stuff.

[mariner4life]

<p>Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more</p>

<p>Maybe Voges keeps a stash of vaseline in his surgical glove</p>

[NTA]

<p>Pattinson sorted his shit out from the first innings, at least - all 3 wickets, bowling at < 3 RPO. Ably supported by Bird whose figures look better.</p>

[tubbyj]

<p>The worse thing about Guptill is failing in a test sries affects his confidence in the shorter frmats and knocks him out of form for a while.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Latham really makes you angry learn a lesson for f sake.</p>

[NTA]

<p>Just noted something interesting in Pattinson and Hazlewood bowling together:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Both 17 matches</p>
<p>Both 69 wickets</p>
<p>Both average between 25-26</p>
<p>Both 25 (Pattinson will be 26 in a week)</p>

[No Quarter]

Pattinson is appealing for everything like an Indian cricketer.

[MN5]

<p>Unlike Jeff Thomsons description of Bruce Edgar it looks very possible that McCullum WILL die of a stroke at some stage.....</p>

[No Quarter]

Comon cricket gods, is it too much to ask for Baz to come off just one more time?

[No Quarter]

Apparently so

[KiwiMurph]

<p>Top international career Baz. An entertainer. </p>

[NTA]

<p>Fucking hell NQ do you want to curse the bloke a bit more? FFS!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Apparently a really good catch from Warner after McCullum had tonked the previous one.</p>

[MN5]

<p>Game over now. Thanks for everything Baz, guess ya had to have a go but those that live by the sword die by it as well. Hat's off for being about the most unselfish cricketer I can think of offhand, superb team man.</p>

[Virgil]

<p>Statistically speaking McCullum has produced the best final Test in history by a captain 170 runs.</p>
