1st Test New Zealand v Australia Feb 29-Mar 4 0830hrs @ the Basin Reserve

[Gethelred]

That's the difference in mindset, represented pretty clearly in the change in comms.

Julian's going on about leaving the ball outside off, 'you don't need to play at it', thinking of it in terms of risk; Haddin's talking about how Carey plays his best when he's looking to score, forget about the risks.

 

[Gethelred]

That's just a jaffa from Henry. Wide of the crease, good length angling in, hits the pitch and leg cuts hard to miss the stumps by almost half a foot.

 

[Voice of the G]

Of all the Aussie commentators they could have brought over they got Brendon Julian? Was he cheap?

And Haddin? Did they get a budget package deal?

Turn the sound down you people that do not like the commentators,do you really need commentators seeing you can see what is happening any way.

 

[The 747]

This is the point of an innings he can get stuck at though and eventually lose his wicket. 50+ is critical for his confidence.

You on the money, he's stuck and walking down the pitch now....

Well BJ was born in NZ so maybe they got him at a discount rate along with Haddin.

Mark Waugh or Gilchrist would have been better but maybe they charged too much.

You people?

I'll comment on cricket-related things on the cricket board champ

 

[BarneyBent]

I'm liking Green moving his feet. Even if the ball wasn't swinging and seaming, sometimes he just plants his feet and gets a bit stuck. He looks better with his feet moving. Not to say he should be charging every ball but just getting some motion, some responsiveness into his footwork.

[Plugger35]

O'Rourke bowling with some good pace and bounce but sometimes he overdoes it.

 

[dogs105]

Abysmal over rate

 

[Gethelred]

Well, shit.

 

[NSWCROW]

DICKHEAD !!!!

 

[Westend]

[dogs105]

Keep it on the carpet mate...

 

[Plugger35]

That was a gift from Carey.

 

[hawkman]

Inglis would have put that away for 4

 

[Westend]

well most likely bowled out soon....i cant see the tail hanging around on this deck

 

[Jatz]

Geez that's soft. Play it along the ground Alex.

 

[new breed]

Catching practice , picked him out beautifully .

I reckon Starcy might get a few here.




Obviously might not too.

 

[Woody15]

Carey does not do it for me. Too many soft dismissals.

 

[danielnajdek]

How long until Careys position is questioned by anyone.

 

[hawkman]

Surprised Cummins isn't in at 8 after his Gabba innings

 

[dogs105]

If Marnus gets dropped anytime, move Green to 3 so he has less chance of being stuck with the tail
