Cricket: NZ vs Aus

[voodoo]

I actually don't mind Warne. His cricketing brain is pretty wild. Watching some of those 20/20 games where he was miked up, he just sees stuff that others don't.

Who do I need to reverse jinx into taking three quick wickets?

Clearly not Tom Latham... damn.

[voodoo]

That was flying, but still. Fuck.

[MadGav]

That was our chance.

I’ve got a feeling we are going to get steamrolled, 4 40 degree days in a row.

[Paekakboyz]

@MadGav if we can blunt the opening attack and have some good partnerships its game on. No one is immune to 40 degree heat, it messes everyone up

[westcoastie]

Our boys need that next break. Starting to look tired.
Dropping Smith seems to have flattened them some.

Santner also bowling like shit at the minute, too short, too full, too legside-ish. If you're not turning it, keep it tight mate.

[westcoastie]

Raval bowling an over wtf.

You've got to catch those if you want to win. Hard enough getting Smith once!

Both Wagner and The Park Cricketer are just too wide right now.

Never quoted myself before, but...Smith just said this is an intentional tactic to frustrate Smith and keep him from playing anything towards leg.

Seems to be working in respect of the RR, but that one Lachie delivery aside , we havent really looked like getting him out .

And this dude has so much fcking patience.

[booboo]

Fuck this.

I'm off to bed.

I said "I'M OFF TO BED" ...

[westcoastie]

Ridiculous to state, but we need to have a bit of luck already - otherwise, Australia will bat through to the end of the second session on Day 2 and have a nudge at knocking over our top order quickly. Then we'll need so show some real fight having been out there fielding for a day and a half in 40deg heat.

[booboo]

I'm in bed. We got a wicket yet?

[westcoastie]

Commentators saying Fergusson is off to get an MRI scan on his calf. FFS. New ball 10-overs away, and we don't have the guy who can biff it down at 145km.

[westcoastie]

@booboo no - but we've lost Fergusson with a calf strain instead...

Faaark

[TeWaio]

Bad news for New Zealand. Lachie Ferguson is off the ground and has gone for an MRI on his calf. He won't field again today it seems. He has a suspected right calf strain. They will assess him again in the morning.

Oh dear.

[Donsteppa]

A bloke who can bowl over 140kmph consistently in Test cricket for NZ.... would promptly have to get injured.

Faark.

[westcoastie]

hate to be so pessimistic, Santner getting bounce and turn, Lyon is going to look like the second coming of Shane Warne. We're cooked - the recipe - put a Kiwi in the field for two days, slow cooking at 40deg, then rip the top off at 150km hour. Good god.

Any bloke who wants to bowl over 140 in test cricket, really
