Meanwhile in ABC Radio, Mitch Johnson is referring to Wagner as "The T-1000" for his consistent effort in this heat

ha ha, classic. Was watching that again a couple of nights ago. The CGI was incredible for its time, and now looks computer game-ish. Our world changes fast

also, Wags is amazing.

Southee's ball to get Wade made me do a sex wee in my jocks

Was amazeballs

Sounds like his second spell was a lot better than his first. Locky and Timmy didn't fill me with joy for the first few overs.

Well, on balance I"m OK with where we got them. 248/4 is in the game, and a couple of quick wickets makes a differnece. WE did well not to get smashed at the back end of the day.

First session tomorrow is critical. Good bowling and fielding from us makes a massive difference; if they get away, 500 is on the cards and we're out of the game.

Also, why the hell does a part timer like CdG look a better bowler than Ferguson/Southee? Wags is just a dead set legend, kind of like Brad Thorne for me - not a typical fast bowler at all, but a very smart and controlled one. Respect to the fella, it's awesome to have him in the team. Any bowler to gets an uncontrolled shot from Smith in his form should get that photograph on his wall

Going to be tasty tonight, can't wait

Some nice shape by Wagner. He's not far away

11 overs in 40 degree heat. With three and a bit hours to go. it ain't all glamour at the top level

@Hooroo said in Cricket: NZ vs Aus:

Steve Smith is fascinating to watch. I can’t recall any batsmen in my life time successfully betting like that.

Incredible. Wags still got him in trouble ... remarkable.

Isn't this meant to be a 20 minute break?

Lunch breaks are always 40 minutes and the tea break is 20 minutes

I'm farking confused. It was a 40 minute break, but cricinfo had:
13.00 start, Tea 15.00-15.20, Dinner 17.20-18.00, Close 20.00

farked if I know. Need to knwo for the next couple of tests though

Oh yeah. It was 40 minutes wasn’t it. This is more of a day Twilight match rather than a day night match

who knows. 40 degrees, fark that.

The farkign aussie commentators are verbally fellating Aussie batsmen. Honestly, it's a giant circlejerk out there. FFS.

Also fuck Sky for loading as many ads as possible, right when they're showing the replays of Wags' catch.

Actually fuck Sky in general. Loads of ads, shitty streaming service that needs Flash player and constantly freezes. No chromecast. The sooner Sky dies the better IMO, I wish Spark had gotten ALL of the cricket.

Honestly, I ditched the Sky stream and went to an (ahem) mirror? HD, stable, casts natively, and easy. DOESN"T USE FLASH.
