He's 7 off 44 balls Geo ….......

Every other batsmen has scored at over 50 runs/ 100 balls , but that's OK Captain Grumpy is a NSWmen can't do anything wrong , can he

I said stop it…

NZ have bowled much better in the first hr .....plenty of time build and increase his run rate...

Until that Brain Explosion... :brick:

Happy proven correct again

Hey Dopester….you watching the cricket....S Smith comes in at 1/8 after Burns got a Duck and calmly peels off a Century off 144 balls...his 4th Century as Captain and 8th in the calendar year......

Yep

Its late on Day 4 and 21 wickets have fallen for approximately 1400 runs

Sounds like an absolute bowlers paradise Geo isn't it :brick:

Your embarrassing yourself again….
 
Great show of respect from the shaggers to Johnno.
I really like the NZ boys as players and as men.
Glad they are back in this series.

Yeah, I wouldn't mind so much if we toned it down a little and behaved a little more like the Kiwis. You can play hard and aggressively and still be respectful.

I hope this results in a draw, as a win either way is the worst possible advertisement for this type of pitch. Wickets have fallen, but the preparation of this deck have really taken the bowlers out of the equation. The WACA was the paceman's paradise.

Australia only seems interested in holding on for a draw on a batman's wicket.

As they should. If you're playing for the series you would. The pink ball is an unknown quantity.

The decks that the curators are putting up at the moment are anti-cricket. It would be unjust ratification that these pitches produce results.
 
The shaggers need 321 in 48 overs. Game on! Very generous declaration from the Aussies after NZs go slow tactics yesterday. Hope Mitch Johnson can lift one last time

Apparently Hazlewood has a strain or soreness, they're not sure if he'll be playing.

If I had my way, I'd play without SOK and Siddle. Smith and Warner turn the ball enough to assist Lyon and Bananaman is struggling. Down on pace and couldn't take a wicket against WA, while Patto picked up 3 for 39 and is a handy bat.

If we were going to pick an over 30 to replace Uzi, my pick would have been Klinger but that's neither here nor there. They picked Darsh because he's been there before.
 
I like the pink..

Solid start from the Kiwis..until Starc trapped Williamson with a corker…

*Vale Phillip Hughes..
