Second test, Aust vs NZ hobart starting Friday

[the joker]

It's ok bill is back for the India test on boxing day, where it will all be happening

Lawry?

yeah he is looking forward to opening with Watto

[locky801]

Lets see if NZ bowlers make the best of the conditions, if so, never know we may see them back at the crease just before stumps

[Jim05]

Vettori out with hammy injury
These jokers will be lucky to make 150

Got that about right

[the joker]

You gotta feel for Chris Martin some times. How can someone be so bad. And make Glenn McGrath look like Don bradman

I feel like belting him with a stump the way he runs into bowl.

GD McGrath (Aus) 124 35
SK Warne (Aus) 145 34
M Muralitharan (ICC/SL)133 33

If Martin can play another 20-30 Tests, he will take the mantle, surely?

Thought that was his 32nd duck ... 25 0not outs as well

[Jim05]

Game back on
Difficult session for the openers. Wouldnt be suprised if we were 3 or 4 down at stumps

[Jim05]

Poor throw.
Hughes should have been run out for a diamond

[Jim05]

Hughes edges a 4 past the 6 slips

[Jim05]

0/7 after 1
Will be 2 1/2 more hours of play today

[locky801]

Surely now it's bye bye Mr Hughes

[CoverKing]

Lol what a stupid post. Great fielding and then a bloody good quick release that just missed the stumps. Would have been safe anyway IMO

[Johno6]

LOL BLOODY PHILLIP

PHIL HUGHES at Test Level

16 TESTS
29 INNINGS
1048 RUNS
36-14 AVE

The disMisALs or not outs

24 CAUGHT

24 Caughts are :

5 CAUGHT BEHIND
5 1ST SLIP

3 3RD SLIP
2 2ND SLIP

Phil has been dismissed 27 times by Test bowlers [excluding the not out + run out]
He has been caught by the keeper and slips and gully a staggering 19 times [about 70%]

HAYDEN
Matthew Haydens advice for Phil
'' Must be prepared to put away some of his pet shots .""

MAL
Mals advice to Phil
""Dont listen to Matt."'
This is how to play to balls that are getting him out behind the wicket
Dont poke, throw the bat, and try and hit them over point ,slips or gully for 4 or 6
The field is up, get a few easy boundaries
Sooner or later the slips will have to man 3rd man and point
Then the edges MIGHT get thru the weakened slips cordon as well

IF Phil is confused I suggest getting out the videos of his first few innings
He will see how he made a plethora of runs
He will also see that my advice is how he USED to play

Make that
30 innings
20 times caught by keepers slips and gully

[Squids]

Hughes has to go.

[Brodlach]

Bye bye Phillip

[Squids]

Awesome call by the umpire there.

[Johno6]

i say give him the captaincy....
