So you get a marginal call and leave the pitch for a few drops just when we were fronting up. Disgraceful behaviour

Hand of god ted .

Don't knick, I mean dont knock it

the beauty of this game ted is it goes for 5 days.


not so good for you and kane and tb .

yawn

The crying shame about all of this Pup is that touring teams in cricket across the world never play any real first class matches anymore in preparation. Whether they want to or are not allowed I do not know. But traditionally (well for the last 100 years or so) they always played a few matches to get into the stride of things and adjust to conditions but these days do not. Without Southee we would always struggle but it seems there is no real life prep anymore. One only has to watch your team in England to know that is also the case. A shame that other forms of the game and a desire to pack more into a season (forcing shorter tours) are damaging the long form of the game so much. I hope we can at least be competitive next match after we draw this one sorry I have been drinking dreaming again

Geez without those commentators saying the word New Zealand every so often you wouldn't know they were out there come on mate fair suck of the Savelloy ..... your bowlers have served up tender 1 & 1/2 inch Black Angus Sirloin with all the trimmings and optional Bacon Warner's has beaten the shylock out of youse to every steamy tropical corner of the 'Gabba you've leaked more runs than Elton John has saying something hey one bloke has made 2/3 of your runs but good on him and he's gawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwn

Good question tux.


The test will probably a washout

wonder what the odds were on a draw late on day two?

Any winners yet?

Seriously are they going to bother playing another match after the first one.
