Cricket: NZ vs Aus
-
21.5.2 the bowler’s front foot must land with some part of the foot, whether grounded or raised
-
on the same side of the imaginary line joining the two middle stumps as the return crease described in 21.5.1, and
-
behind the popping crease.
If the bowler’s end umpire is not satisfied that all of these three conditions have been met, he/she shall call and signal No ball.

Aus 6 down in their second innings, but over 400 runs ahead. What's the bet they cruise along for another 100 runs or so, then declare and put us in right when the lights come on.
They could declare now ... new ball, then get 10 overs with the second new ball under lights. If they need that many.
-
Timmy and Wags have picked up 5/36 with a ball that was already 40 overs old in the last hour under lights.
About the only thing the Aussies have to worry about is if the pitch deteriorates further and becomes too dangerous to play on - especially with Starc and Cummins steaming in.

Can we opt for a spiked roller?

Well done Aus. Clinical execution of a plan and finally the kiwi resolve hit a judder bar with a below standard turn at bat.
Starc for man of the match even if wicketless in the second dig.
Mind you Timmy steaming in last night was a timely reminder that the old boys see this series as their Mecca. We'll be 1 down but not written off by those who've watched NZ over the last couple of years.
A shame that a look at the scorecard has you thinking of a team with Fleming, Cairns or Vettori as the key personnel.
We've been better than that, but Oz have been better again; another plaudit to Langer and his men.
The pitch will ensure that any dream of a Paddybatch miracle will be just a dream, and as pointed out, we're going to have to find a way to tire those quicks. Funny but 10-15 km/hr might be the ultimate difference between these teams when it's all said and done.
One nil and a big rest heading into Melbourne

Ah ok. Where'd that start? Boycott?
-
This Zimbabwean bloke is overstepping by a fucking mile. Not like the umpires don't have time to watch the whole delivery at that pace.
Do your fucking job

They're you go Wade you fucking idiot. Have a go like Starc

@NTA you're a bit grumpy today, early start on the cans?
Headache. Stitches in my back are infected. Smoke back in Sydney today. Got the the shits with life in general.

Nothing a 350 run win tonight won't cure...
-
Right, time for no careless shots from the top order this time.
-
@Donsteppa yep, I don't expect us to come close to saving this game, but it would be nice to make Australia actually force 10 wickets.
-
Yes! Only 463 more runs needed!

Starc is a mouthy prick isn't he

Who would be the next option to open if Raval is dropped?
-

Foster?
-
For a career that started so promisingly, Raval’s recent few scores are almost Chris Martin like.
I wonder if Blundell can open... am resisting saying Watling should move up the order, but it may be worth some thought if Raval’s form continues...
-
@KiwiMurph said in Cricket: NZ vs Aus:

Tom Blundell is the only other batsman in the squad - but, they might push Nicholls up to open.
I'm not sure they should drop Jeet - not so much because I think he'll come right - but, because we might fuck up someone who will otherwise prove useful.
One of my theories is that we should pretty much ignore results against Australia when it comes to selecting the Black Caps, because over the years they've got rid of some decent NZ players who've been replaced by lesser players for easier series.

BJ would be the other option to open (assuming that they wouldn't just decide to start with Kane). In which case, Blundell could take the gloves - at least some of the time.
Seems like a long time since BJ's been an opening batsman though.
-
Big double century from Kane would be good here. With that we'll only need support from Taylor/Nicholls/Watling/CDG to do it in a canter.

On the brightside, we won't be out in the heat much longer.
Lyon on a hat trick. FFS.

When we needed Greatbatch, Kane gives us a BMac esque innings

That's a bit unfair. He put away the bad balls, and got absolutely smoked by a ripper from Lyon.
-
yeh that was stunning from Lyon. Warne-like in regards to that ball he bowled to Gatting. Just hit the rough and took off on Williamson.

I'm not sure Raval did too much wrong, either. I was pretty critical of him trying to hit out against England, but that was brutal from Starc.
Their bowlers are better than us. Their batters are probably slightly better than us. If we get the wrong end fo the toss on a pitch that's going to deteriorate, we're in trouble.
Flush the dunny and move on I reckon, just bat, put some miles in teh bowlers legs and let's see what happens.

I’d go with that theory up until the point of Jeet Raval, given his run of form extends back across recent series as well. In two minds about it, replacements aren’t obvious and may not make things any better. On the other hand, being only slightly facetious, bringing Matt Henry into the side for Raval wouldn’t markedly weaken the batting scorecard for now. Peter Fulton has a lot of work to do over the next ten days with Raval...

It’s probably completely unfair
For now I’m just in a cloud of sourness that my day dreams of Williamson and Watling entirely batting out day 5 are toast...
I remember watching Greatbatch and Sneddon (on the the brand new TV3?) at the time as a kid; it’s only with the passage of time I’ve realised how epic it genuinely was.
-
@Donsteppa Yeah - Jeet is a quandary.
But, in principle - if you give a guy all of the lead-up opportunities to a big series and then ditch him after he fails at the first hurdle - then it has been very poor selecting.
It's like Colin Munro and the CWC (which was actually far worse).
-
I'm not as confident as I was prior to Kane dismissal.

Thoroughly enjoying my first trip to Perth despite patchy nz performance. Rather hot at 40 degrees each day so amazing job done by the 4 pace bowlers doing the extra work. They have been tremendous. The variable bounce and lighting contrasts in the evening session mean I will likely have a clear day for Rottnest tomorrow I suspect.
