      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.

                  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.

                        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!

                                            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.

                                                  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.

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

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

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

                                                                                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.
