New Zealand v Australia, 1st Test, Wellington

[Forward Press]

Well that means Adam Voges goes into tonight as better than Bradman.

Good session that.

 

[Personman]

Was Voges ever considered for tests before his dominant shield season last year? Like in the 5-10 years before it? Career peaking after 35 is amazing.

I know it hasn't been spoken of by the commentators (even though it would have been non-stop if this was on Nine), but I don't want any "attacking"/"sporting" declarations from Steve Smith here. We bat until we're dismissed, or reach the 180 over (two full days) mark. There's no rain forecast, and there'll be 2 1/2 days to bowl them out and probably win by an innings if we bat through.

6/463 after 130 overs. Another 50 overs and 150-200 runs to come for us then

 

[Cupid Stunt]

waiting for voges' autobiography now

 

[HBF]

Aussies should look for Voges to get to 200 and then declare.

Nah keep going.
Might be looking to only bat once.

 

[Gough]

Yep, f*** 'em, bat to a finish, and then make them bat for two, and a half days to save the game.

You have to hand it to Voges he managed to get through the day without being gifted another life by incompetent umpiring.

Umpire put him off the first time when he started calling No Ball. Luckily no such slip ups from them today.

Was always seen as a talented batsman, more suited to the limited overs stuff, and even then he was always sort of on the fringe of the ODI/T20I sides, never a regular. Kind of like Shaun Marsh in a way.

Prior to the 2014/15 Shield season, Voges' FC batting average was 41.54. Since then, he's played 56 FC innings, for 15 not outs, and 3,381 runs (82.46 average). His FC average now sits at 48.07.

The offended is strong in this one...

Yep. Bat for as long as we can. We're only two days into the match.

I think he may have been 12th man for a Test years ago?

 

[Gough]

Didn't he miss a tour, because his wife was having a baby, which IIRC was frowned upon by those in high places, and he went from being a fringe ODI player to exile for a couple of years.

May as well bat as long as we can.

Could be wrong but I think he did get selected in ODIs again not that long after.

 

[TexanKnights]

Aussies should declare at sux for sux hundred and suxty sux

 

[BACCS]

Another spirited 30 by Peter Nevill

Was a gritty innings after losing 2 quick wickets, exactly the type of knock needed from a number 7.

 

[JimDocker]

"The statistic judges the man" when the man has been dismissed at least 30 times, IMO.

Voges doesn't get dismissed !

 

[Shane Sheridan]

When Martyn retired, I think Voges came into the squad for the Perth test. Symonds got the spot.

That's very gracious of you.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Voges the Undismissable.

What this does, as it always seems to when a player is on an unbelievable hot streak for a tour or a season, is show you why Don Bradman will always be the greatest cricketer of all time.

Precisely.
