Cricket: NZ vs Aus
-
I love the commentary team and the combo of Border, Smith and O'Keefe yesterday was just fabulous.
O'Keefe is excellent
-
Is that cricket history? Is that the first 5 run penalty in test cricket for running down the pitch?
-
our shit teams htat have come to Aus have shown more fight than this. We've been thoroughly demoralised.
-
Marnus gets himself out slogging and Paine declares. I guess he knew the declaration was imminent, but I suspect when he reflects he'll be slightly pissed at either his choice of shot or the declaration timing - maybe both.
Aussies have basically romped past 200 for one wicket. Almost zero pressure from us.
And now we will see a dogfight for sure.
Pretty limp effort yesterday and today.

While I find it hard to disagree with him, I am getting really annoyed by Warney saying 416 is FAR TOO MANY for this New Zealand team.
It's right but it just hurts!!!

All to play for thanks to the sporting declaration from Paine.
I'm picking big hundreds to a couple of our top order and we do it in a canter.

Look! I'm not greedy, I'll be happy with 4 small hundreds

He's unlucky, given it looked like it was going down leg. And the tracker had it just clipping.
But as someone said to me once, nobody feels sorry for you if you get bowled and the ball 'just clips' the stumps.
while i have a certain level of understanding of that take, i think there is a slight difference, and that is what causes the angst
If you get bowled, you're out. Shit shot, piss off, you're out
With the "just clipping" and umpires call bullshit, you get a situation where your outcome is now dependent on who reviews. If that's given not out, and the Aussies review, it stays not out. Same delivery, two different outcomes. It should be either out, or not out
(i have said in the past, i think DRS for LBW should be gone unless it's to see if you hit it)

@mariner4life In both Kane's and Tom's incidents, we've lost our wicket but retained our review.
-
and while i am typing, another goes.
This is a fucking embarrassment. Australia got over 200 for only 1 when they were batting properly, on the same goddam deck.
