Not too unhappy with this start. How many overs has Boult bowled? 7 is it? And Southee?

 

[sand_man]

Thanks.

This ground is tiny. My word, how does it compare with some of ours?

 

[Arthur]

Thanks for the lyrics. Still dunno what the flip that guy sings over and over in the short version. Must be my damaged Zep ears.

 

[Neoprod]

Southee and Milne have been closing the innings for NZ...hopefully we can take advantage of the new closer (whoever it is).

 

[sand_man]

Damn it man!! Soft.

 

[Hectic]

That is a pity.

 

[Neoprod]

Eff it, another batsmen error. Still well done for getting us through the tough patch, Rilee.

 

[krycor]

Meh.. They needed to keep together for another 5 overs..

 

[Arthur]

AB must now play his best innings. Gulp.

 

[Ho3n3r]

I've never seen an opposition team celebrate like that to get AB in before...

No pressure

 

[Neoprod]

Jeez, wtf is AB doing?

 

[sand_man]

Warne reckons 275 is par.

 

[Crystal Web]

Jeez, wtf is AB doing?

The right thing. Playing his natural game.

 

[Neoprod]

AB's trying to go really early here...wants to transfer pressure to NZ right from the start.

 

[Neoprod]

The right thing. Playing his natural game.

He ran down the pitch twice in his first 5 balls at the crease...that's not natural. Against a seamer nogal.

Looks like an imposter. No timing.

True. Normally he'd have come down to all 5.
