So you get a marginal call and leave the pitch for a few drops just when we were fronting up. Disgraceful behaviour
Seriously though I am annoyed - as finally had some time to watch some cricket at the Steyne and they are off. Ahhhh now the a league is on instead. Rather watch us getting battered to be honest
Will give you that one.
Sadly though it reduces our odds of winning. Although BM is still good for a quick fire 150 off 70 balls to bring us closer to that achievable target
Sadly we have never survived more than 82 overs in a fourth innings against you blokes - reality sucks.
As Cobra said - we made it to the last day!! Game on . Yet in rugby it's 4 more years
Sorry LL but I will use this for only 12 more months rest assured....then it will be forgotten.
And replaced by 3 more years
Actually they've done heaps better than I thought ..... gone 4 days in this one without looking like even being in it to begin with Ted
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
Draw still not out of the question with weather circling, and Australia haven't bowled well enough to claim they have been ripped off
Well done Aussie. Smashed us as you should have done. Well played your batsmen really. Set the game up nicely after that first day.
I reckon the Kiwis will be lucky to go three days if we get a proper WACA pitch...remember what Mitch did to the Poms
