Australia vs New Zealand | 1st Test | Brisbane | Dec 1st-5th

nice, thanks for the info

ok I don't really follow Aussie cricket, so sorry for this question, but why is Brett Lee not in the team?

Brett retired from Test cricket.

Actually pretty happy with the start from our bowlers. Pace, movement etc.
 
Always a pleasure to see a hard-fought session of test cricket :)
 
Brisbane is sometimes at its most bowler-friendly on the first day, with the pitch flattening out later.

Really interesting test match in prospect.
 
Really want NZ to lose this series 2-0. They're a highly over-rated team. Can only beat WI, Zimbabwe and BD at home, and probably only Zimbabwe and BD away (as far as tests are concerned).
 
Khawaja drops one ... and Taylor must have remembered Akmal. Hits him for four next ball.
 
Kiwis have really taken off the block today ... going at almost 4 RPO, but importantly they have lost a couple of wickets.
 
Redeems himself with an easy catch. Lyons happy as Larry, good move by Clarke to bring him on.

Make that 3 ... Williamson goes.

Wicket to Lyon as Khawaja holds on this time.
 
Runs keep coming ... another FOUR this time to Ryder.

Kiwis just need to consolidate and take it through to lunch.
 
"Well, Williamson handled Harbhajan really well in India last year, but he's looking a bit clueless now. " hahaha...handling a spinner is a bit different to handling a dart thrower"

cricinfo comment :yk
 
Aus take morning session. One wicket too many for the Kiwis but still can put up a good total if Taylor gets his head down.
 
wow the aussie youngsters are on fire! :inzy :rehman

are Aussie showing the first signs of them being back in the big time>?
 
very irresponsible stuff from Taylor. Considering he is the captain of Kiwis and there were 4 minutes left till lunch.
 
Ryder is the key now.

he is looking edgy but he scores big ones when he does score
 
Pattinson, Cummings, Starc can be the next Lee, McGrath, Gillespie combination

Cummings is probably the most talented of the lot
 
If its any consolation to the Kiwis ... England only made 260 in their first inning here at the Gabba last year, but still managed to draw the test match.

And they were 4/125 in their first innings after Collingwobble got out. But in the second innings, England went on to score a devastating 1/517 to force the draw. :botham
 
it is being shown on atn cbn in canada



NZ to post 300 target for Aus :butt

No, the hobbits are gifting their wickets to us. We will probably return the favour later.

Both the newbies have looked promising and Siddle has bowled very well but quick bowlers always look pretty special on day one, Gabba, this time of year.

Horrendous fielding though, how many have we dropped so far? Usman is no good at short leg, Hughes should be in there. And it matters less if Hughes gets one belted in to him.
