Aus v NZ -Chappell Hadlee series III - MCG

[Chris B.]

Head needs to tell Davey that the run rate's under four and that he (Dave) has to get on with it.

Push the run rate Dave - hit a couple in the air.

[MajorRage]

Nothing to celebrate yet ... HWWWFBSBWIAT is still at the crease ... 300+ not out of the question.

[hydro11]

A good return from our 5th bowler today has made a huge difference. I was worried about de Grandhomme having to bowl 10.

[Donsteppa]

Good to see that Clarke is as obnoxious in the commentary box as he was on the field...

big fat 0 for Smith, haha choke on that you 15 year old looking fuck.

Bowled a shit leg side pie to give a Warner his ton. Choke on that Santner you 14yo looking fuck

[Donsteppa]

Just finished giving the kids a bath to find Munro feeding pie after pie to Warner. WTF?

@Donsteppa is dinner time in Aus.

Makes sense. The non-Boult/Southee bowling is starting to look like a no expenses spared buffet again.

[Donsteppa]

... though for all the talk of missing Vettori's economy rate, Santner isn't too far off during this series.

[Donsteppa]

On the whole a much much better bowling and fielding effort. Led by the senior pros.

[Chris B.]

Got 'eem, yeeees! A bit late....

C#nt can play cricket - I'll give him that!

The others make 90 off the bat between them.

[NTA]

Yep. Aussies will think that total is a couple of dozen short. Big ground, hard to protect, but hard to find the fence sometimes, too.

NZ in with a decent shot

[NTA]

*unless of course Starc gets out his CWC 2015 form and starts skittling openers.

It used to win us tight matches.

Southee & Boult at the death, what do you reckon Kane, a good idea?

[KiwiMurph]

Much better effort NZ. Hustle in the field was certainly better - though I thought the throwing was woeful pretty much throughout - Watling was scrambling all over the place.

A positive from this series is Boult looks much closer to his best.

[Chris B.]

@NTA Warner made it look easy - no-one else seemed able to time it. Not sure why - it didn't look particularly difficult. We'll find out I guess.

On the face of it, it's not a total that should require us to do anything outrageous.

My guess is that we'll find it harder than it looks and we'll be a lot slower to 100 than we want - ~25 overs - who knows how many wickets down.

[canefan]

I'm at the G, been hydrating all afternoon watching some great cricket. Finally our bowlers give the batters a gettable score. GAME ON!

[NTA]

I'm stuck at the fucking school Christmas carols. I seem to remember posting something like that around this time last year.

[Donsteppa]

Ian Fucking Healy. That's twice now... you only carry your bat if you're not out.

[No Quarter]

Good to see Latham in a positive midset. I think he was stuck in test mode the first two games. Looking to score off every ball tonight.
