Australia v New Zealand 3rd test at the SCG Jan 3 -7

[Vegeta]

I don’t think he’s s**t at all, I think he’s a very handy cricketer. Just perhaps a bit pedestrian to be opening the bowling.

But credit to him, he’s bowled well.

No doubt he isn't good enough to be in the team as a specialist but it's useful having an a/r who can move the ball and keep things tight/pick up wickets.

So far de Grandhomme has looked more threatening than Henry.

Wickets?

All rounder. You hit the nail on the head.

Burns was definitely out last over, no comments on here at all lol. He edged it

 

[Vegeta]

I would have opened with my best bowlers. First morning of a test match

CdG is a better new ball bowler than Wagner.

If there was any sideways movement out there, he would find it and utilize it better than Wagner.

Already talking about spin being introduced

Bat hit ground!?

He was so out even hotspot forgot to bother showing a mark

Sounded like it but hot spot showed nothing. Think they would have stayed with the on field decision as there was inconclusive evidence to overturn it.

Bat hit ground then ball hit bat. Was clear as day, a deviation plus hotspot plus RTS...

 

[Jez1974]

Only one!!

And a samoan

 

[getthefooty]

Did you all miss the mark on the bat that punter specifically pointed out? Anyway carry on

 

[Jez1974]

You watching what we all were?

 

[atlas1]

You still haven't put me on ignore.
The more I know it pisses you off, the more i'll do it.

[Dez!]

Warne still on about the bails? Warney it didn't smash into the stumps like you think, it just clipped them hence why the bails didn't come off.

Yeah - I thought there might have been a faint edge at the same time the bat hit the ground. Too hard to see on snicko and hot spot inconclusive though. Saw a tiny white dot appear but not sure it was on the line of the ball.

Definite but small speck on hotspot. Would've been hard to overturn

 

[Hawk Time]

I thought the same thing.
Seems like an odd decision.

Yeah because Wagner swings the ball so far.....

Wagner is better. Stats prove it

 

[StillAtLarge]

Game over already haha. What a disappointing series this has been

I didn’t see the hot spot Rick was speaking of. Didn’t see a spike in the right areas on Snicko. Can’t see it being overturned on review

Love it as I think it is easier for Aussies.

 

[Hamez]

Inappropriate comment by Tim Lane saying the crowd were quick to rush in this morning and hope to see Warner catch fire.

That's what id be hoping for. Or any Aussie!!

Yeah, but a lot of energy is passing through the stump even when a spinning ball feathers through it. The bails should've come off.

Burns is batting well outside his crease, as the speed of dgh is killing him.
