Second test, Aust vs NZ hobart starting Friday

[Squids]

Would it not be silly to reverse the batting order

seems like those who come out at 8/9 seem to be able to make runs.

[Media Park]

51 run stand so far.

[RoosterMarty]

Siddle out for 36 then a great catch by Williamson to get rid of Pattinson.

Looks like NZ will have a lead now, 9/131.

[locky801]

All out 136

[locky801]

NZ 0/29 at tea

Some pretty ordinary bowling from the Aussies in that 10 over session

[dedja]

2/36 now ...

[Media Park]

Guptill caught Haddin Bowled Siddle 16
McCullum caught Hughes Bowled Pattinson 12

[Big Phil]

Hughes drops Taylor in gully

[Q.]

Pretty to watch Hads, pretty to watch.

[dedja]

Haddin clever ... Ryder dumb

[mighty_tiger_79]

Haddin clever ... Ryder dumb

ryder = the aussie version of cosgrove

[dedja]

but dumber ...

[locky801]

NZ 3/103

Taylor 23*

Williamson 19* (and looking good)

[mighty_tiger_79]

but dumber ...

correct

[locky801]

NZ 3/130

Taylor 38* (looks like is going to make Aust pay for Hughes dropped catch)

Williamson 30*

[mal]

Hughes drops Taylor in gully

Very smart thinking by Little Phil
He would be hoping NZ get 300+ in front
That gives him an opportunity to make a big hundred, and save his career

Agree MaL, Brownlie showed that

Brownlie played good shots when they where there to play, he was also very patient. Something Brad Haddin is not. Another terrible shot..

What a sh*t wicket..
Southee gets one to go underground at 135 kph on a green top..
Don't mind seeing a test wicket with a bit in it for the bowler but this is ridiculous at the moment...

Please.

Its good to see a wicket like this, it just shows how easy batsmen have had it the last few years. A bit of juice in the wicket and the batsmen are all at sea. Show me the wickets that were a direct result of the pitch playing really poorly?

Chris Martin reckons he got an unplayable one which moved so far off the wicket into his stumps

Williamson out, ct Ponting bwd Siddle first over
