Must be so weird for the players. I guess it will be a bit like club cricket

or playing test cricket in NZ

Can’t they have a sound track of applause and heckling through the sound system?

Make it kiwi biased so the odd Warner is a piston wristed gibbon comes through on a regular basis

Just get the most annoying person you know to play with your stereo for 7 hours. Will like being in the actual stadium.

Kane's luck doesn't follow him when he leaves NZ. Aust wins the toss and surprise, surprise, will bat.

@shark I'm not really expecting them to play two spinners.

What would I know!

Oz however are unleashing Cummins, Starc and Hazlewood on us to open any scabs!

Warner back at home, hundred coming up.

NZ to play him into form

And Finch starts with a ball clearly hitting the back of the bat - caught behind - everyone thinks it's out except the umpire - and we don't review.

Acoustics of the empty stadium fooling the umpire?

Crucial

That was bizarre

Crucial

Was it Latham that wasn’t sure?

Crucial

What aren’t we playing that tall bugger against these guys? Given how hard this pitch is he could bowl a good length and have it fizzing up the throat

Chris B.

@Crucial Dunno - I think it was Kane wasn't sure.

I was celebrating in real time - and especially when Trent did his little finger circle celebration.

Whole thing was very strange - it was the howler the review is designed for.

Bovidae

Kane should NEVER be in charge of the reviews.

Chris B.

Let's hope it's not the start of a succession of disasters like those that derailed the test series.

Yeah it feels harsh to bag the players when the umpire got it so wrong. It is his job first.

Would DRS have overturned it though? Was it conclusive? I'm not convinced... The snick wasn't super clear on the wave form

Chris B.

@nzzp Dunno - just looked so obviously out, I left the TV to type my displeasure - didn't see the snicko and hotspot.

I agree - it looked out all day live, but they just weren't convinced. Overturning a not out is a high bar - I get why they talked themselves out of it
