[Carbine Chaos]

Switch on, first thing I hear is Christian taking up Harris as Warner's replacement.

Yeah, I'm out.

 

[MJG14]

Ian Bishop doing this match on Seven. Fantastic!

Ponting on too.

 

[danielnajdek]

This guy sure loves his 5 minutes of fame.

 

[CakeEater]

This guy should do all the welcome to countrys in Australia

 

[NYRB]

6 Over averages in the Power Surge era at the GABBA from 18 games batting 1st is 47 runs.

Do Brisbane come out like a house on fire today?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Munro surely due

 

[SSwans2011]

Audio out of sync for anyone else watching on Kayo?

 

[NYRB]

Beautiful from Josh Brown and that will get his confidence up and about.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Audio out of sync for anyone else watching on Kayo?

It's out of sync on Foxtel as well.

 

[NYRB]

There is a 47 metre boundary at the GABBA where Josh Brown hit it.

 

[NYRB]

New Zealand v New Zealand

Corey Anderson v Colin Munro

 

[NYRB]

Batters batting here today will be aiming for those 47 metre boundaries . Its a drop punt away , in AFL terms.

 

[NYRB]

Looks like a big crowd up in Brisbane tonight.

 

[NYRB]

Battle of the captains

Munro v Nathan Ellis

 

[NYRB]

And Nathan Ellis beats Munro first ball. Good start from the Hurricane.

 

[gtrxuone]

Wonder if Corey will get another over.

 

[NYRB]

Munro with a lovely drive off Ellis, thats worth the price of admission alone.

 

[NYRB]

Will we see big Tim David give the arms a role given how got a wicket midweek against the Gades?

 

[NYRB]

I like how Ponting still takes the BBL seriously with his expert analysis, he doesn't just waffle away with nonsense like other commentators.

Most of them spend more time cracking lame jokes amongst themselves and talking about other irrelevant stuff than focusing on the game.

Brett Lee, Mark Waugh, Brendon Julian, Brad Haddin, Howie could well do a look at how they go about things. Half of the time I dont even find their jokes funny.

 

[Around the Wicket]

I seriously don't think Brown is up too this level hey

 

[NYRB]

Advantage Hobart who have bowled well early.

Just the 23 off the Powerplay 4 overs there.

 

[NYRB]

Tim David continues his run as poor fielder, you catch those as a professional cricketer 99 times out of 100.

 

[candyapple]

He is an utterly awful fielder
