Cricket Summer 2023-24

Get around the big fella, this is magnificent. THIS is what we've been wanting from Cam: authority, technique, confidence. Once he realises how good he actually is he should devastate attacks all around the world.

I can pretty much see the smile on your face through the computer screen.

Henry deserved the 5. Would have sucked to go to Southee who is bowling slow and unthreatening.

Has the pitch flattened out?

Green you legend.

It looks like it. But short stuff at only 120 - 130 to Green isn't going to work. 41 in extras doesn't help either.

Definitely wasn't expecting lunch to be extended for 1/2 an hour at the start of play.

 

[John S]

NZ in all sorts! 3 for not many after a few overs.

Williamson will be spewing about that run out!

 

[Sully]

5/29 now.

 

[John S]

Falling like nine-pins

 

[Sully]

It's making 9/279 look bloody good.

Yep - and its looking like the pitch *should* be getting better to bat on

Pace difference has been noticeable. Starc getting 146km/h on here has looked really uncomfortable with the bounce.

Hardly any green left, should be just about perfect tomorrow. It's meant to turn wet some time Sunday & Monday's forecast is even worse so Aus may need to enforce the follow-on for a change.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

If you could get them out before the close of play I'd do it. Bowlers still fresh with it not being hot, only 2 sessions and get an overnight rest.

Follow-on not enforced.

Smith gone early...

Labba will get a double ton easy so I’m not worried at all.

Well he's (over)due & we're pretty generous in that regard...

Can’t believe you jinxed him like that

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Marnus cmon. Thats garbage

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Can’t believe you jinxed him like that

Nah, that was all you, bruh, I was just agreeing politely...

 

[John S]

Last ball of the day and Lyon dropped by Southee. What a day

Wish Aus top order could bat better

We need to get over that one time it backfired last century.
