[cricketworm]

Zaltzman taking dig ...

"STAT ALERT: Test batting averages since 1 Jan 2007: Ponting 39.4; Vettori 40.0. Vettori edges it in wickets taken as well."

 

[Inziquicksingle]

Vettori is brilliant.

 

[talha3]

Nice positive attitude from the kiwis. Need to make the most of this old ball.

 

[cricketworm]

I should have started with Pattinson, may be he will get new ball.

 

[Bullet Drive]

100 partnership

 

[cricketworm]

Brown-lie

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Anyone has a link to the live coverage?

 

[cricketworm]

I hope ppers remember that Siddle is bowling at +140 km/hr, same speed guns will be used for Ind-Aus series.

 

[cricketworm]

What a shot!!!

 

[Bullet Drive]

almost out

 

[cricketworm]

Calm down! Harry Potter!!

 

[KingKhanWC]

Superb partnership

Vettori makes the opposition tear their hair out. lol

 

[Bullet Drive]

Ian Chappel, Tony Greig

 

[CricnPak]

Brownlie reminds me of Azhar Ali the way he plays defensively, but steadily.

 

[UP]

Healthy run rate of 3.63

 

[KingKhanWC]

Time for Pattison to show how good he is.

 

[TheHK16]

300-350 good score on this pitch

 

[UP]

Good comeback by NZ.

Aus should have blown them away around 160.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Brownlie reminds me of Azhar Ali the way he plays defensively, but steadily.

Yep good temperament.

 

[TheHK16]

pattiosn = right arm-fast

vettorie plays aggressively in test

pattison constantly 140 +

good leave

145k

 

[Inswinger]

No need for ball by ball, one-word commentary.

 

[TheHK16]

No need for ball by ball, one-word commentary.

ok

 

[chaiwala]

Brownlie has an impressive First-Class average. Looks like a very good prospect for New Zealand.

 

[cricketworm]

Pattinson is bowling too many wide balls. .... wasting his energy!

 

[cricketworm]

Brownlie was very edgy yesterday ... and dodgy footwork .. but he is still at the crease, that's what matters.

 

[cricketworm]

Aggressive sweep coming up by Vettory

 

[cricketworm]

WOW. Here it was!! Dropped!

 

[cricketworm]

Pattinson's line-length has been terrible so far.

 

[iHammad]

Wow...Pitch has flattened up

 

[Random Aussie]

I hope ppers remember that Siddle is bowling at +140 km/hr, same speed guns will be used for Ind-Aus series.

Not sure what you meam here, he can crank it up and does from time to time. Siddle has hit 150+ previously.

He slows down noticeably when he is not bowling well or the pitch is doing little.

Clarke's drop is just unforgivable now issed:
Plus Usman missed a couple, plus Warner, plus Starc. Our fielding is shambolic.

 

[Random Aussie]

Wow...Pitch has flattened up

Yep, day 1 it seams all over the place, goes flat days 2-3 then starts spinning. Good cricket wicket but we should be batting by now.

Bloody Vettori again

 

[talha3]

Vettori run out on 96. Gem of an innings for his team. Deserved his first ton against the aussies.

 

[cricketworm]

Ridiculous!!! Harry Potter!! ***!

 

[CricnPak]

Heartbreaking man. What an awesome player is Vettori.

 

[iHammad]

WTH Vettori! Damn...how many expected from the tail now?

 

[Random Aussie]

Phew!

Now just four more *top order batters to get

*NZ style

Speed Guns are apparently 'tempered' when Indian bowlers clocks 140 km/hr.

Fielding has been pathetic really!!

 

[talha3]

WTH Vettori! Damn...how many expected from the tail now?

Let's just say NZ have 3 tail wickets and one 'free' wicket.

As I type, 1 tail wicket goes, 2 to go.

 

[cricketworm]

LOL Siddle gets it. Deserved it! Only bowler bowling well.

Also, Lyon too actually.

 

[Inswinger]

I wonder what the odds on a 100 by Vettori were

 

[iHammad]

7 down..NZ back to collapsing

 

[Random Aussie]

Speed Guns are apparently 'tempered' when Indian bowlers clocks 140 km/hr.

Fielding has been pathetic really!!

According to PP every speed gun is dodgy unless the reading favours a Pakistan bowler.

Then it is undeniable truth.

 

[Random Aussie]

Go Sids! He has bowled really well this game

 

[iHammad]

I say around 290 all out will be NZ

 

[cricketworm]

Excited to see how Bracewell bowl.

 

[PakPrince]

excited to see chris martin bat!

will he be able to make more runs than his average of 2.5!

 

[iHammad]

Siddle bowling 147!

 

[iHammad]

Aussies will make 350+ on this pitch definitely

 

[iHammad]

Saeed Ajmal is the best spinner in the world right now - Tony Grieg

 

[Poison]

Siddle is wearing a sports bra lol

 

[CricnPak]

Griegy really going at it with Chapell about the doosra and Ajmal!

 

[Poison]

Lol, Greiggy and Chappell don't really like each other eh

 

[CricnPak]

Lol, Greiggy and Chappell don't really like each other eh

I don't think Ian's said a word since being called out by Tony haha

 

[iHammad]

8 down

 

[WalkingWiggett]

Bracewell : without troubling the scorers - 18-ball duck!

 

[iHammad]

264-8

 

[iHammad]

Nice lofted shot by Vettori

 

[iHammad]

Southee SIX
NZ 285 now..

 

[iHammad]

NZ 290 now...

 

[iHammad]

9 down, Southee out

 

[cricketworm]

OMG Starc is another Mitch

 

[cricketworm]

Haha Martin is legend.

 

[iHammad]

295 all out, wow NZ

 

[Random Aussie]

About 140 more than they should have got, now Warner and Hughes to
open this will be interesting.

#wannabesehwags

 

[MVP26]

Aussies should look at 400 here

 

[MVP26]

want to see how warner does in test cricket

 

[iHammad]

Warner gone! 1 down...YES KIWIS!

Lunch.

 

[Inswinger]

WHat a debut for Warner!!

 

[insaftak]

) ) ))

@ Warner!

 

[insaftak]

) ) ))

@ Warner!

 

[WalkingWiggett]

Warner perishes - it happens - at the hands of the deadly Southee. knows all about him.

 

[Rizie]

too bad Warner got out I was expecting an entertaining innings

 

[insaftak]

Hughes

He sucks!

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Both batsmen very very nervous. Ponting will get out soon

 

[Random Aussie]

Hughes

He sucks!

Correct he does. Warners three balls gave me more confidence that Hughes ever will. Square him up, catch to slips. Repeat once per inning.

 

[iHammad]

I like Khwaja, I like Ponting...but I'm also supporting Kiwis.

 

[insaftak]

Who did Peter Siddle get out to complete his hattrick last year?

Stuart broad what a yorker!

 

[iHammad]

Ponting...that was a majestic shot!

 

[insaftak]

[utube]GpJFqpK2muE[/utube]

Loved the yorker and loved the celebrations!

 

[iHammad]

Ponting straight drive fourrrrr
