There was quite a bit of swing from Patto in that first over.

I reckon Peter Siddle will dismiss Mccullum very shortly

[NFC]

I reckon Peter Siddle will dismiss Mccullum very shortly

I reckon Patto will get him LBW.

[DOC]

0/18 second over (Siddle)

[Brodlach]

Australia 1-0

Hussey highest run getter
Vettori most wickets
Ponting to average less than 25
Hughes to be caught behind the wicket at least twice in the series

[stampy]

i'm going 1-1, hope like shit we get mccullum early or he will make us pay dearly

Even the bookies expect there is very little chance of play today.

They have the draw at $2.70 is this still very good value.

My source who lives 20 minutes from Brisbane reckons it has been pissing down since late last night and wouldnt be surprised if they announce no chance of play today before lunch as it still hasnt stopped raining.

Not sure if he is taking the piss out of me though, he knows i take the first day of the summer of work every year.

Yep you should get a new source, try the Bureau of Meteorology.
Maybe a few drops here or there, but no significant falls in Brisbane.
However, it will rain at stages of today, should be okay tomorrow though.

He's a rare talent, sheep-shagger or not, I love watching him bat.

[DOC]

0/22 third over much better over

[NFC]

Nice over by Patto.

[DOC]

0/25 starting to get some good movement

[stampy]

no luck early

[Johno6]

Aus 2 - 0
Ponting Most Runs (Taylor most runs for NZ)
Siddle Most wickets (Martin most wickets for NZ)

1st wicket today LBW or run out.

[NFC]

Not much luck for Aus, NZ throwing their bat at anything with a bit of width.

Pattinson 2 good overs in a row, beaten the bat at least three times.

[DOC]

0/34 7 overs

[whufc]

As expected from young blokes, bowling some very good balls but bowling many to many four balls.
