Australia v New Zealand | 2nd Test | Hobart | 9-13 December 2011

[Random Aussie]

Usman out for his usual 20ish off 50ish balls.

Making the selectors job easy they are, see you in a while Usman! Marsh in for you.

 

[Sledger]

Ponting off the mark with a four. Younis Khan now averages more than him lol.

 

[Random Aussie]

Only 84 runs to go now, Warner playing a gem of a knock. Now averages 56 and more than Younis Khan

 

[ElRaja]

Only 84 runs to go now, Warner playing a gem of a knock. Now averages 56 and more than Younis Khan

if he see aus home he'll average nearly 80, third only to the don and that windies player who scored a 120 in his only knock me thinks.

still, great knock by him, shows the value of having a counter attacking player to take the game to the opposition.

him and watto could form a good opening partnership, right left hand combo would be handy too.

 

[talha3]

Clarke gone for a duck. This could get interesting.

 

[WalkingWiggett]

Pup

Game getting... interesting now.

 

[talha3]

Hussey gone first ball!!!

 

[WalkingWiggett]

Mr Wicket for a golden by DRS!

 

[tauseefm]

I am afraid india is going to beat Australia in the coming series

 

[Sledger]

Haddin the saviour (exclusively against NZ) will do it.

 

[pinger]

I'd rather lose than have Hadddin make runs.

 

[akamaka]

Just goes to show it doesnt matter if you have an attacking mindset or defensive as long as you have the ability to score runs you can play in any format. Warner playing according to his attacking nature.

 

[talha3]

I swear Haddin gets as much hate as Kamran on this forum.

Don't think it's all deserved.

One more reason to include Umar Akmal in the test team

 

[Random Aussie]

No kidding, we are in struggling to beat New Zealand.

The batting is just hopeless, hopeless. The only reason we are anywhere near winning this game are two players (Warner and Pattinson) who are playing their second tests.

Ponting, retire damn you.

If we play like this again indian we will lose 4-0

 

[Random Aussie]

I swear Haddin gets as much hate as Kamran on this forum.

Don't think it's all deserved.

It's deserved. issed:

Watch for him to slog a catch now when the pressure is on.

 

[Sledger]

Warner gets to a hundred. What a knock.

 

[ddss]

goneeeeeee

 

[WalkingWiggett]

Haddin-ough

Random Aussie was right... as always?

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

It's deserved. issed:

You called it.

 

[ddss]

Lol...I bet if Aus lose all blame will go on Haddin.

 

[Sledger]

Haddin goes for the big booming drive, edged but that's gone through for four.

Lol, under 50 runs left now, I have a license to do my best Afridi impression, another drive, big nick straight to slip.

Time to make way for Timothy the beast.

 

[Random Aussie]

It's deserved. issed:

Well that didn't take very long as Haddin slogs a catch.

I want him burnt in effigy!!

this clown is the vice captain

 

[cricfan967]

Another goes!

NZ on top here 194/7

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Another one goes!

Warner the key now!

 

[WalkingWiggett]

Siddle

Oh don't say the Hobbits are gonna win this... that would be a worse embarrassment than last year's Ashes débacle. At least Flower's England is a monster of a Test team.

 

[Sledger]

Warner or bust now. What a fail by Australia's batsmen..

 

[Random Aussie]

Now Siddle out.

This is embarrassing

 

[Sledger]

Inside edge for four lol! Good close finish on the cards.

 

[tauseefm]

Time to bring krapich back in the team

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Decision Referred!!!

 

[cricfan967]

) ) )

Australia in tatters ! 199/8 !

 

[Sledger]

Left it and he's out lbw.

 

[Random Aussie]

Time to shoot most of the team

If we lose this Aussie cricket fans will go mental, there is only so much we can put up with.

 

[Sledger]

It's been reviewed..

 

[Sledger]

It's not swung enough, he's not out.

 

[cricfan967]

Missing the stumps

 

[PennOne]

Rauf has been terrible, throw him out

 

[Sledger]

Not to sound biased, but it looked like a decision you just had to give in real time.

 

[Random Aussie]

Oh no

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

ohh not out!

 

[Random Aussie]

I love UDRS

 

[Sledger]

Edged straight to slip. NZ big favourites.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

eight down!!!

 

[cricfan967]

this time ) )

 

[Sledger]

I love UDRS

Fail. )

 

[IgnitedMind]

 

[cricfan967]

i love udrs :d

) )

 

[Sledger]

Time for Warner to go into T20 mode.

 

[Random Aussie]

Oh god another one

 

[ddss]

Beautiful catching

 

[Sledger]

Risky leave, NZ look like blowing this tail away.

 

[Random Aussie]

Warner might as well start smashing it seeing as he is the only one actually playing cricket against the opposition.

Please no, not losing to New Zealand at home

 

[cricfan967]

Bowled in ) ) )

 

[Sledger]

Bowled him. NZ gonna do this now.

One wicket left. What a shocker!

 

[VolcanicAsh]

Another Hawkeye fail, the LBW shout on tv cameras showed that the ball hit Pattinson in line but hawkeye completely messed that one up.

 

[cricfan967]

) Oh aussies

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

bowled him!!!

Fifer to Bracewell!

 

[Abdullah Zubair]

When did NZ last beat Oz in a test? 10 years? 20 years?

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Warner has to go into T20 mode. He needs to put pressure back on the Kiwis!

 

[IgnitedMind]

when did nz last beat oz in a test? 10 years? 20 years?

20!!

 

[saeed-sohail]

Why do they keep chasing wide one?

 

[NZcricketfan]

when did nz last beat oz in a test? 10 years? 20 years?

1993

 

[Sledger]

So NZ have done what Pakistan couldn't last time and will win a test on Australian soil. How embarrassing.

Still, not nearly as bad as what Aus will be feeling. Roffles.

 

[pakistanbest]

What a match! I am loving this!!!

Warner v NZ now

This is what test cricket is about

 

[Sledger]

Sorry Lyon bro, ball is swinging. This will be a struggle for you.

 

[Random Aussie]

This is the end of Australian cricket. The end.

 

[Sledger]

Warner is on strike now and just having a go (right tactic, shouldn't be blamed if he's the one who gets out.)

 

[Sledger]

Two play and misses in a row.

 

[cricfan967]

I don't want this to end yet, keep going!

 

[Sledger]

Three play and misses. LOL.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Three play and misses in a row!

 

[Sledger]

Warner could be the next Tendulkar. Great century.

 

[pakistanbest]

Warner struggling here, come on you kiwis

 

[Sledger]

Driven for a single now. Wasn't middled. Number 11 to face now!

 

[pakistanbest]

Aussies to win place your bets now

 

[IgnitedMind]

Single taken with two more balls!!!

 

[Sledger]

Class leave son.

 

[saeed-sohail]

Likes of Ponting, Clarke, Haddin threw their wickets here. Criminal.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Lyon survives!
