That was beautiful to watch, lets hope we can skittle the other 4 and finish them off

Test is ambling towards a draw.GG McCullum 170* so far. Williamson also with a good knock.

[BeNZene]

Nice work McCullum!

[kilabee]

Yes double tonne goodness. While we are quick to bag the team when they lose,and fair enough after the last tour, they certainly deserve praise for picking themselves up and performing like they have in India.WD Blackcaps

[Zarkov]

We might have won if it wasn't for $&*#ing Harbajan.

And he was leching on our physio girl too.

[BeNZene]

Speaking of great knocks, Chris Gayle's on 303* off 394 balls at the moment. Not a bad wee innings!

She's the one with the bruises on her shins?

Not bad. Not quite at Gary Sobers 365 N.O. against Pakistan in Karachi!


Left-handers' Hero!

That's her.

Everytime she's on the field giving our guys a cramp massage, there's Harba hovering around.

He likes the idea of getting his bum massaged.

[Ngati_Grim]

Who doesn't?

[kilabee]

Opps we suck again

[Zarkov]

Maybe India are the best in the world.

An innings and 200 odd runs is still a pounding though.I guess every NZ cricket fan would have taken 2 draws and one loss at the start of the tour.Just hoping now it doesn't flow on to the odi series.

Its the way they lost the last test, yeah the pitch was turning but did you see Taylor, we are 3 down with fuck all on the score card and he decides the best way forward is to swing like a tail ender. Genius

Taylor and Guptill were both sawn off, having said that Taylor was plumb and not given so yeah, bad umpiring all round that last day

wouldnt have made much of a difference tho

The real cricket starts tomorrow. With any luck England will dominate and Shane Watson and Graeme Swann will do shit.

[SteddieEddie]

How good was that hat trick from Siddle, really turned the game around for the Aussies.

Here I was thinking the Poms would have it over them this series, still early days yet

I have no idea why people thought the poms were good. Just because australia had a few bad games, doesn't suddenly make them a terrible team. Yet suddenly everyone says aus are the underdogs, and england the favourites.

[Scunner]

After the build up, it's good to see the Poms stumble on the first - especially since it is the Poms. I wasn't sure why everyone was saying we would be in trouble since the Australian side is still a good side. It'll be better once North fails and he goes the way of Hauritz. It's also funny to hear everyone say it should have been Bollinger in the side instead of Siddle.

[Zarkov]

I'm enjoying it.

Plus, I like it when either side loses, so it's win/win from my perspective.

[kilabee]

At first I couldn't decide who to support.Then I imagine the face of that cheating prick Brad Haddin and I say go the Poms.

[Spork]

^ Butthurt?

Yea, been a great competition so far.

[SteddieEddie]

It is always a shame to see Ponting struggle

[toofast]

Love to watch hussey find his form again. Always great to see people hit 100s when the pressure gets on them.

His job is to dig Australia out of the shit.

He's done it a fair few times.

[kilabee]

I recall M.Beven doing it a few times before as well.With the greatest respect... Fuck you Beven.








Yes I have a long grudge memory...
