Cricket: NZ vs Aus

[LABCAT]

Patel just took three wickets in the opening super smash game.

[Cyclops]

Starting to look ominous here. Either they bat the rest of the day and we can probably only draw the match, or they get a session under lights to try and rip out a couple of quick wickets.

[Gunner]

Jeet Raval is to fielding what Coldplay was to batting.

[voodoo]

Not to be defeatist (or perhaps overly optimistic?) but if you'd offered me a draw in this test 3 days ago, I'd have snapped it up.

If we can make 400+ and secure a draw, I think we will take huge confidence into the next (more winnable) tests.

[Chris B.]

@Cyclops They'll put us in for a lot of the night session - nothing surer.

We've got to minimize the damage through that and have plenty of firepower to run them around the field tomorrow.

Those big nasty fasties opening up with a new ball that might move around - worrying times!

Jeet's got terrible hands.

[Gunner]

Skip says fuck you Jeet, this is how you catch.

Starc gone, Southee now has 3.

Apart from the drop I thought he'd fielded well...

I’ve only just switched it on, so I just figured it was business as usual when he dropped the catch.

It would be GREAT if we could get them out before the night session. Would much rather they have a chance to get an eye in under the sun than under lights with the pink ball and those quicks gunning for their heads.

[Mokey]

YES WAGS!!!

Stuck with the plan after copping a couple of nice shots from the GOAT

[NTA]

Righto. Tea time then the fun starts

[Mokey]

Woohoo!!! Aus all out for 416.

[Chris B.]

Grab the last two cheaply and we will start in and bat for the whole evening session!

At least, I hope we will!

[Steven Harris]

Time for a cup tea and then a find nice comfortable position hiding behind the couch..!

[Gunner]

Timmy gets the last wicket with a terrible delivery.

So we’re one down already with Jeet opening, or is it two - will Ferguson bat?

It’s a tough game when you’ve got 10 wickets to play with, but only 8 or 9...

Ferg can bat

[ACT Crusader]

Anyone else already biting their nails about what lays ahead on this deck against in form Aussie quicks...

[voodoo]

Wow, Latham owned.
