Aus. v NZ - Test Series / Shaun Marsh Appreciation Thread

[locky801]

Johnson bowling nearly 30km/h slower than Starc, body language doesnt look good

[locky801]

3/400

Reckon the last session will be a beauty

[locky801]

NZ 3/406 at Team

Trail by 153.

McCullum is still in at Stumps NZ will lead IMO

[The Dark Knight]

Bancroft to open and Burns 3 hopefully

I don't think they'll change the opening partnership and Smith will go back up to 3. Don't think selectors are going to pick Bancroft just yet, as for who comes in to number 4 I've got no idea but hopefully it's not f**king Shaun Marsh.

Completely agree DK. 3 consecutive hundred opening partnerships at good rates. I will be incredibly shocked if they change that. I get the feeling that Smith regrets leaving 3 and will have a chance to make some very big scores v the Windies at 3. I expect him to return there.

Marsh may come in at 4.
Any player that is in the NSW squad could potentially be selected
They may give Bancroft a crack at 4

Just thinking of options to come into the side INSTEAD of Shaun Marsh. I'd pick Maxwell before him! Hell even George Bailey! Don't think they'd pick Klinger who's probably the most in form batsmen in shield cricket at the moment.

Starc 160.4km

Thats some serious heat

Great to watch, shame he's bowling too quick for the fieldsman! FFS

[The Dark Knight]

Mitch Marsh 137.9 km, bowling pretty quick too.

My fav current NZ closing in on 200

[mighty_tiger_79]

Watling gone for 1, caught Lyon bowled a full toss from starc

[The Dark Knight]

Starc finally gets rewarded! Bowls a poo full toss and Waitling goes after it and gets caught at point, Nathan Lyon the fieldsman

[locky801]

Watling gone now

5/447

Taylor 198*

[The Dark Knight]

Come on surely we can get Bracewell cheaply

[The Dark Knight]

200 up for Taylor

[locky801]

200 up for Taylor

Been a fantastic innings

Ah the classic shit gets wickets [emoji38]

[Jase]

Instead of complaining about the pitch perhaps the heat should be applied more to the pathetic opponents. I would guarantee NZ wouldn't be 1/330 had they won the toss. The bowlers have served up garbage and havnt bowled enough wicket taking deliveries, combine that with terrible captaincy and its little wonder the score is like it is.

Erm...

You were kind of right, they were 2 for 330...

They didn't bat first though

The longer this has gone on the flatter this deck has become. Massive road, I guess we can expect it to implode in the coming days?

Doesn't help when your frontline spinner bowls around the wicket leg stump rubbish. He has bowled terrible this test, far too negative

If it was Adelaide it would have a burst water main coming through it
