Aus v NZ -Chappell Hadlee series III - MCG
-
Australia batting first...for a change.
Finch gone cheaply (Boult got him).
Smith and Warner at the crease. This could get ugly - again.
Nicholls is in for Neesham who is still recovering from the Starc ball he copped on the forearm, and Ferguson is in for Henry.
-
Now Boult gets Smith.
Speaking of extras in the other thread - Southee opened the game with a wide - nice one Timmah.
-
And 11/2
Boult has two
More importantly, you can sign up for ABC commentary throuhg the Cricket Australia website, create an account with Google and not have to listen to channel farking nein.
Happiness is a cold pilsner, cricket on TV and good radio commentators. I've heard more quality analysis in 5 minutes than I managed in an entire innings of TV comentary.
-
Much better! Just turned it on to see some good sharp fielding as well.
-
Fucking hell - Boult chucks a pie wide, gets his fielders to back him up for a change on the others, then comes around the wicket for a hail mary and it pays off!
Channel Nine crediting him for a bowling plan. If that's a fucking bowling plan Tubby, cricket is dead.
-
Amazing what happens when the fielding is good and the bowling isn't rubbish mince n cheese.

Its not ALL shit. But the fielding intensity is up about five notches. Very positive stuff.
-
This is the test though. Ferguson starts off with a no ball.
-
big fat 0 for Smith, haha choke on that you 15 year old looking fuck.
-
Very good first over from Ferguson after that no ball.

and he's bowling over 150 in the second. Great to see some heat - 0/4 off 11 balls
-
Warner you jammy bastard. Hits the ball high into the outfield - Nicholls comes steaming across...dives at full speed and the ball brushes his fingertips.
Michael Clarke crapping on about how you've got to take those against Australia.
Would have been up there with Sneds catching Greg Chappell!
-
Bailey has used a lot of balls getting to 23 - 47 balls.
Good time to get him now!

M Marsh gone now, 4/73
-

-
@Chris-B. CDGH strikes

LOL fucking hell Marsh. Straight bat maybe? Stop being a Marsh and that might help

Smithy enjoyed pointing out that he "finds some ways to get out".
He's not overburdened by luck.
-
You make your own fucking luck. Firstly by employing better technique. Secondly by not being a Marsh.

This one's for you mate .. count the Marshes!
-
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.
-
Nothing to celebrate yet ... HWWWFBSBWIAT is still at the crease ... 300+ not out of the question.
-
A good return from our 5th bowler today has made a huge difference. I was worried about de Grandhomme having to bowl 10.
-
Good to see that Clarke is as obnoxious in the commentary box as he was on the field...

Bowled a shit leg side pie to give a Warner his ton. Choke on that Santner you 14yo looking fuck
-
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.
-
... though for all the talk of missing Vettori's economy rate, Santner isn't too far off during this series.
-
On the whole a much much better bowling and fielding effort. Led by the senior pros.
-
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.
-
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
-
*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?
-
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.
-
@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.
-
I'm at the G, been hydrating all afternoon watching some great cricket. Finally our bowlers give the batters a gettable score. GAME ON!
-
I'm stuck at the fucking school Christmas carols. I seem to remember posting something like that around this time last year.
