First Test vs New Zealand @ GABBA - commencing 1/12/11

[mal]

6/88
44 behind
Will be interesting to see if NZ can scrounge up a lead of about 50
Mr Warner
Mr Slips Qhughes
If they can get not outs, is a plus mark
If they both fail, then both will be jittery

Came on here to post exactly this.

Would be good for them to have have a chase, if one of them fails I think they have to go.

Surely Warner deserves another chance, considering the number Hughes has had?

IF Watson is ready or they play Christian
That means a batter will dip out
The situation becomes even more jittery when Shaun Marsh is available until he gets injured again

A chase of 150-170 will be quite interesting I think

My prediction...
Aus will need to score 40-50 runs, Hughes will get out cheaply, Warner will batter the Kiwis and get a 30-odd unbeaten, and we will see Hughes leave the team when Watson returns.

This may come back to bite me, but why on earth would you bowl Mike Hussey???

Blushing about your comment?

[Media Park]

Yep, embarrassed myself again...
And how was Warner's first nut, dropped catch!

[mal]

NZ 7/121


Fair dinkum is this Micheal Clarkes luckiest Test
Bowled off a no ball
Dropped a few times

Then he has one of the most destructive bowling combinations since Mcgrath and Warne bowling in tandem
Time for party tricks
Mike Hussey and David Warner in tandem
Warner almost gets a wicket but butterfingers Pattinson drops a catch
Then Mike Hussey gets Vettori out the next over

Im telling youse, this Clarke guy has a remarkable feel as a tactical Captain

[Jim05]

Did say before the match that Warner bowls ok, id be giving him a bowl more often

[locky801]

Siddle picks up Brownlie

8/123

[locky801]

Southee throwing the bat at everything

NZ 8/133 lead by 1

[RustyCage]

We have to bat again

[Jim05]

Hilarious stuff with Lyon having 6 around the bat to Martin.

Australia needs 19 off 18 balls
NZ have faced 132.3 overs
AU has faced 129.3 overs
Its a run a ball, the selection of Warner is now a masterstroke !
