Australia v New Zealand | 2nd Test | WACA | Nov 13-17, 2015 | Match Thread

[marlonbrowndo]

Dont think it was that fast. Looked a bit above 150. Think somethings wrong with the speed gun

 

[Convict]

hahahhaha

To think he was a wicketkeeper until he was 14
[MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION] - will McCullum declare behind?

 

[Varun]

Haha what is with these dropped catch?

 

[Lurker_Ind]

Starc too quick for batsmen and fielders too.

Nobody can catch the ball. Its coming to quick to them.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Mcculum needs to stop this over attacking rubbish. This is a vital moment in the game. He needs to make a big partnership with taylor

 

[dashing_man]

another drop catch!! Australia what is going on!

 

[Convict]

Wind is right behind him so he'll get some speed help from that.

 

[SL_Fan]

It hit the cruck.

 

[Aman]

I don;'t buy that was 160kph.

The other deliveries were nowhere near that.

 

[sandsaims]

Not sure about the 160k delivery, he hasnt touched 155k with the rest so far.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

160.4 screamerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

 

[Saffer_XIII]

Lol. Who spiced up the ball

 

[Junaids]

It might be because of a crack, but finally a ball moves off the pitch - after 925 runs have been scored. Hooray!

 

[dashing_man]

wooaah!! cracks opening

 

[Aman]

Dont think it was that fast. Looked a bit above 150. Think somethings wrong with the speed gun

If it was 160kph no way Taylor would have kept it out.

McCullum needs to tighten up against Starc he only has an over or two left.

 

[dashing_man]

160.4 screamerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

WHooo!?

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Mcculum is a retard. Irresponsible

 

[Aman]

WHooo!?

Didn;'t look 5ks faster, think it was an error tbh.

NO way Taylor keeps out a 160kph yorker.

 

[Gilly]

How fast was it then?.

Let me guess you don't know.

true

 

[cricketjoshila]

Its 160.4ks.Commies confirm it.

 

[Aman]

How fast was it then?.

Let me guess you don't know.

Didn't look 160kph, his second fastest was 154.6 just too big of gap to consider it legit.

 

[Lurker_Ind]

Starc is bowling 150k like its nothing.

 

[SL_Fan]

Speed guns always lie. That's why they should be also connected to a lie detector. ICC take note.

 

[Gilly]

Didn't look 160kph, his second fastest was 154.6 just too big of gap to consider it legit.

Really, so you know what 160kph looks like and you can tell from watching TV, OK.

 

[Lurker_Ind]

Effort ball may be.

 

[Junaids]

Yup.

If the last 7 Kiwi wickets could add 300 in the 70 overs until the next new ball they would have a lead of 100 and the cracks would be getting difficult to bat with.

It would be like the recent first test between Pakistan and England in that the team taking a small lead would be the only one that could win.

But I don't think McCullum is smart enough to adapt to play that way. The Kiwis need to stay in, not slog and get out. They are actually in a good position, but they'll throw it away.

 

[SL_Fan]

There's a fly slip for BMac el o el

 

[dashing_man]

ooo Come on. another drop

 

[ChachaCricket]

Poor guy can't buy a damn wicket. Aussies fielders are channeling their inner Pakistani.

 

[dashing_man]

149.5 yorker. Starc you beauty

 

[dashing_man]

Poor guy can't buy a damn wicket. Aussies fielders are channeling their inner Pakistani.

I want their inner Pakistani to come out next year when we visit them

 

[Lurker_Ind]

BMac cannot play Starc.

No question about it. He is a walking wicket against Starc.

 

[filthyfulltoss]

it is a bit odd to think that starc could randomly bowl 160...

akhtar and lee were consistently in the 150s and starc is generally in the mid 140s

 

[Aman]

Really, so you know what 160kph looks like and you can tell from watching TV, OK.

Okay.

How many times has Starc bowled 160kph before?

If he can bowl 160kph on the third day of Test match, he can surely do it in an ODI or T20, easily.

 

[Lurker_Ind]

it is a bit odd to think that starc could randomly bowl 160...

akhtar and lee were consistently in the 150s and starc is generally in the mid 140s

In this spell, Starc has consistently bowled over 150k.

 

[SL_Fan]

Predict Viz predicting a draw. Give the viz a bizkit.

 

[Zak_Fan]

It is not hard to believe that Starc bowled 160. I am sure Aman's reaction would be different if Milne did that.

 

[Lurker_Ind]

Starc is clearly tired.

Pace dropped to 145k.

 

[Aman]

It is not hard to believe that Starc bowled 160. I am sure Aman's reaction would be different if Milne did that.

The prospect of one of our batsmen keeping out a 160kph would be better anyway. I just doubt the legitimacy of it, a bowler bowling that on the third day of Test match is just too far fetched for me, that too with no other ball being over 155.

 

[SL_Fan]

Taylor shott one fitty. Great knock.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Starc is clearly tired.

Pace dropped to 145k.

145 is tired.

Whattay bowler.

 

[SL_Fan]

Lyon coming on to bowl this should be fun.

 

[Firebreaker]

LOL at all of them who said NZ is an overrated team

 

[Zak_Fan]

The prospect of one of our batsmen keeping out a 160kph would be better anyway. I just doubt the legitimacy of it.

Batsmen get used to pace. Even a 140kph yorker can surprise a batsmen if the bowler had previously been trundling at 128-130kph. Here Starc had been touching mid 150s even before, so it wasn't something that unexpected. Batsmen were ready to face express pace.

 

[dashing_man]

LOL at all of them who said NZ is an overrated team

New Zealand is an overrated team. don't make cast your judgment without seeing the game. Australia are fielding like UAE today

 

[dashing_man]

Mitch on, come on son Hit that 155 barrier

 

[SL_Fan]

NZ should break into the top 3 in the coming years. Solid young team.

 

[dashing_man]

140 now

 

[dashing_man]

NZ should break into the top 3 in the coming years. Solid young team.

yes they can. If they somehow convince Good bowlers around the world to join their country

 

[Gilly]

It is not hard to believe that Starc bowled 160. I am sure Aman's reaction would be different if Milne did that.

Yeah if it had been a NZ bowler then it would have been indisputable.

 

[Lurker_Ind]

Mitch on, come on son Hit that 155 barrier

MJ will be in wheel chair if he tries that act.

He is too old for that.

 

[Aman]

Yeah if it had been a NZ bowler then it would have been indisputable.

Milne isn't capable of bowling more than 154kph so any delivery around 160kph would be disputed.

 

[filthyfulltoss]

In this spell, Starc has consistently bowled over 150k.

then it makes sense, especially since it was a yorker and the ball didn't touch the ground

 

[SL_Fan]

They have a decent pace battery and all-rounders. Could do with a quality Test spinner tho. Struggled this series but definitely a side on the up.

 

[Gilly]

then it makes sense, especially since it was a yorker and the ball didn't touch the ground

Yeah but Aman was watching it on TV and decided that its not correct.

 

[ChachaCricket]

Good to see NZ putting up a fight.

 

[SL_Fan]

Tea tyme.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

then it makes sense, especially since it was a yorker and the ball didn't touch the ground

Bowling speed is calculated from what its released from hand. The speed after a milli second after its released.

Not the speed at which it reaches a batsman.

[Justcrazy]

Tea .

Taylor has a chance to score a double here

 

[ChachaCricket]

Tea .

Taylor has a chance to score a double here

Are you sure?

 

[BigBoy123]

Actually Nz have a chance to win this game if they can keep batting like this they can make about 750 by tea tommow and have a lead of about 200 ..they can put pressure on Ozs on the last day

[Justcrazy]

Need to find boundaries , which he can , the pitch is good.

 

[Aman]

Terrible innings from Baz, made the pitch look more difficult to bat on than it really is and probably had 2-3 lives...

 

[Justcrazy]

Taylor closing on a double hundred here

 

[Justcrazy]

Baaz gone

 

[khalil1986]

Think you are being a little unfair, he came in as soon as the ball was changed and along with that Starc spell it was actually difficult to bat in that period.

 

[khalil1986]

Can Australia get a couple more here?

 

[Justcrazy]

Taylor is now highest scorer against Australia by a Kiwi batsman 190 no

 

[Navdeep Srivastava]

New Zealand tail is quite long like India and at least India have Ashwin and Jadeja .

 

[Varun]

The batathon goes on.

446/4

Overall 1005/13, how riveting.

It's like they're trying to kill the game.

 

[Navdeep Srivastava]

Highest score by Nz batsman against Australia.
Congrats Ross.

 

[Justcrazy]

starc gets watling

 

[Aman]

Gah.

Thrown away.

 

[khalil1986]

Another one down, NZ still 112 behind.

 

[Navdeep Srivastava]

Said it earlier that tail is long , somebody from the bowlers have to bat long

 

[LastManstanding]

Take a bow Taylor
