Australia v New Zealand | 3rd Test | Adelaide | Nov 27-1 Dec 2015 | Match Thread

[Anfield]

Boult has been awful bowler this series. Couldn' walk the talk.. statements like, "I have learnt to move the ball when it's not swinging" makes you look like a fool in hindsight.

 

[Justcrazy]

Kiwis need quick wickets here .

 

[Junaids]

Need to hear more from [MENTION=132916]Junaids[/MENTION] about what a bad bowler Hazlewood is.

Quicker to 50 test wickets than Harris (in terms of tests played) and Lillee (in terms of balls bowled) despite playing on Australian highways.

I've been very impressed by him here.

NZ have played in the image of their reckless skipper. Eight of the ten wickets were due to over-aggressive shots against a weakened attack.

Great match, great pitch, surprisingly good ball. But Suicide McCullum keeps presiding over much too aggressive a team.

I walked past Kane Williamson in the lobby today while he was being lectured by Greg Matthews. I was very tempted to say "why all these unnecessary drives?"

But I figure he knows a bit more about batting than me. Mind you, he looked desperate for someone to rescue him from Mo!

 

[Justcrazy]

25 in no time , Aussies taking the game away already.

 

[Convict]

If Warner could get into Kiwis in this session match would be very much in Aussies' hands. He could chase down the total in this session alone. lol

He knows we need 100+ this ession

 

[Belawal2014]

Collapse?

 

[Justcrazy]

boult strikes

 

[Justcrazy]

[yasir]

[Justcrazy]

With smith at crease do not see Kiwis getting any chance

 

[trogger]

Smith looks lost, i think warner was the key wicket can't see this middle order chasing this down.

 

[Justcrazy]

two down

But just 125 runs required

 

[Justcrazy]

Smith looks lost, i think warner was the key wicket can't see this middle order chasing this down.

Just 120 odd runs required , Aussies should win by six wickets

 

[trogger]

If the kiwis can't finish off whats left it would be an epic choke.

 

[SL_Fan]

Just need a couple of partnerships.

 

[SL_Fan]

What would be interesting tho is how the old pink ball will behave under lights.

 

[SL_Fan]

What a difference a bit of grass cover on the pitch makes eh. Finally some proper Test cricket. Real shame this series could have been a cracker.

 

[Convict]

Ian Healy "he's faced 17 balls. I hope he's not tired"

Actual quality banter there

 

[SL_Fan]

Healy is always good for a laugh. Haters gonna hate.

 

[SL_Fan]

Shot

 

[SL_Fan]

100 to go

 

[SL_Fan]

Marsh looking a lot more relaxed out there.

 

[Zeshan547]

The Marsh gonna become hero from zero,

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Is mcculum retarded giving the ball to this guy in a tight situation. Craig has lost it for neq zealand. Just keep boult and southee on! Who cares if they get tired the match is gonna end today

 

[SL_Fan]

Runs are coming thick and fast now.

 

[SL_Fan]

75 to get now.

 

[SL_Fan]

Poor review that.

 

[Justcrazy]

A couple of wickets here will spice up the game

 

[Convict]

If you're making reviews like that I don't think you can complain about DRS

 

[SL_Fan]

Dinner time. 74 runs to get under lights 7 wickets in the shed. Still anyones game.

 

[Justcrazy]

dinner

Australia require another 74 runs with 7 wickets remaining

 

[ChachaCricket]

The Marsh family carrying the team on their back under pressure, showing Smith how its done.

Softer than marshmallows eh.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Australia in very strong position now.

 

[Junaids]

McCullum attacked too much against Voges and Marsh and leaked 25 runs too many.

The lights are on but there is still also bright sunlight. By my reckoning, Australia has at least eight overs before the ball misbehaves. I think they will win comfortably.

 

[Junaids]

If you're making reviews like that I don't think you can complain about DRS

It was probably tactical to bowl one over less before the dinner break and floodlights.

But I'm still wearing sunglasses!

 

[#GreenRoars]

Now both brothers on the crease.

 

[Zeshan547]

Guys Do Martians have in them what it takes to get aussies over the line here? [MENTION=132373]Convict[/MENTION] [MENTION=100030]trogger[/MENTION] [MENTION=132916]Junaids[/MENTION]

Super Marsh Bros?

I wouldn't know how to handle the Marsh brothers winning a test match for Australia. My mind would just stop functioning

 

[#GreenRoars]

Marsh brothers, journey from zeroes to heroes.

 

[Firebreaker]

When are Australia playing next Day Night Test?

 

[Zeshan547]

Super Marsh Bros?

man they are no ATGs but ain't that bad either, so show some faith in them man. #MarshesTheSaviours

Mitch bowled well in Starc's absence

 

[Convict]

I've seen them from WA. Hell, I've played plenty of cricket against Mitch. It would just be surreal.

 

[Zeshan547]

I've seen them from WA. Hell, I've played plenty of cricket against Mitch. It would just be surreal.

but if they really are that bad than how in hell they made it thus far, perhaps aussies selectors have some different ideas about them than you? Or does it help if dad is a selector.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Mitch , but i must say his little and quick fire was a very good knock.

 

[Zeshan547]

Now you would be jumping with joy [MENTION=132373]Convict[/MENTION]

 

[Haroon786]

Australia need to channel their inner Pakistan to lose from here.

 

[Zeshan547]

Now you would be jumping with joy [MENTION=132373]Convict[/MENTION]
but i guess marsh brothers have done enough to prove their doubters wrong i guess.

 

[Convict]

Oh they're not bad.

just well. Not the greatest under pressure.

Mitch is a good prospect.

Don't get me wrong. I like the Marsh brothers. I'm affectionate in my doubt.

 

[Zeshan547]

Don't get me wrong. I like the Marsh brothers. I'm affectionate in my doubt.

so you are saying that they are good under normal scenarios but you don't trust in them when heat is on? I wouldn't call a player even good if he can't perform when things are not going his way.

 

[SL_Fan]

SO 19 to get 5 wkts in hand. Could go either way.

 

[Convict]

Nah. I've seen WA choke some many times over the years that I can't trust two WA batsman to do well in the same innings.

Shaun Marsh will never be consistent enough to be test standard. He has the ability but doesn't perform often enough.

Mitch Marsh will develop into a test class player but at the moment he's a genuine bitsa who does handy cameos with the bat and the ball but never both at once

 

[Random Aussie]

Regulation win coming up

 

[Random Aussie]

Sadly for us this means more Shaun, Mitch and Adam Marsh.

 

[SL_Fan]

Attendance 120k+ for the 3 days apparently. Not bad.

 

[SL_Fan]

Adam Marsh deserves a go as well tbh. Marshes could be the new Chappells.

 

[Random Aussie]

That's true if talking first class cricket. Test cricket no. If you give people enough chances, every now and then they prove you right.

 

[SL_Fan]

Nevill has looked the best bat this Test for mine. Solid technique.

So wait there really is an Adam Marsh. Thought you were kidding around RA

 

[SL_Fan]

Ball moving around all of a sudden. What gives.

 

[Convict]

So wait there really is an Adam Marsh. Thought you were kidding around RA

There probably is but he certainly isn't one of Geoff's

 

[SL_Fan]

Ahh Marsh out for 49 oh well top knock under pressure nevertheless.

 

[#GreenRoars]

6 down now, Marsh The Hero
2 more quick wickets in an over can bring the match back for NZ

 

[Convict]

Marsh bros copping so much at the moment on Australian forums

Especially Shaun

 

[SL_Fan]

Maybe there's one on the way that only RA knows about.

 

[SL_Fan]

Only 5 to get. This looks to be really getting away from NZ now [MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION]

He's super nervy isn't he. Decent bat otherwise. Geoff Marsh has a lot to answer for I reckon. His fault.

 

[SL_Fan]

oMG what's happening.

 

[Convict]

This is the old pink ball at night.

Unplayable. As in all 9 shield matches

 

[SL_Fan]

Ball just started hooping around out of nowhere ) Pink ball is awesoome.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Nevill out, starc in with a broken foot!

2 runs to win.

 

[SL_Fan]

Fifer for Boult finally turns up this series well bowled. Great catch by Watling as well. We have seen it all. D/N Tests FTW!

 

[SL_Fan]

Ball hits the stumps ) As I said we have had it all.

 

[Amjid Javed]

straight drive and hits the stumps )

 

[Convict]

The stumps!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Convict]

Yes sidds you ripper
