Australia Vs Kiwis First test

[Footy Smart]

Is this a by-product of coming off 4 tests on pitches that played like roads or is it good bowling by NZ?

Anyone got any info on Southee? I've never heard of him?

Southee is a youg bloke only just came into the NZ team but been through there junior system. He took 5 on debut and made 77 at no. 9 including 9 sixes in the seocnd innings of his first game i believe.

Good prospect for them and may bring some life to this test series.

Think he already has

[Brock Landers]

Clarke not looking comfortable. Edged one through slips for 4, it just didn't carry. And just put one at catching height between gully and point.

[Rik E Boy]

Soft hands the key today. That's why Pup got four there.

[Brock Landers]

Clarke flashes at a ball with just a hint of away swing and edges it wide of the slips for 4.

[Brock Landers]

Clarke hit in the "protector"

Aussies 3/56

[silicone skyline]

Lara Bingle will be devoed with Clarke out of action with a bruised knob.

Clarke has officially appointed me as "super sub"

[Dutchy]

some gold from Foxsports commentary -

1230: Ouch! Hussey takes one to the baby maker, makes for a good replay but that has to smart. Follows up with a couple of runs off the next ball, that's the way Huss, run it off.

Baby Maker

It was Clarke that got hit in the cods

She might be happy about it, could be a bit swollen.

Aussies 3/60 at lunch

Good fightback by Hussey and Clarke

The southee I know is holidaying in the US at present and regularly contributes posts of extreme disappointment on this site during the SANFL season!

[Stumps]

Southee has a similar action and shape to Hilfenhaus IMO

[MightyEagles]

The ball has hit the umpire and has saved a four.

3/90

[Drop Bear]

Rudi strikes again! Hussey out to an interesting LBW decision.
So much for benefit of the doubt.

[FD88]

Hussey gone, close decision that.

4/96

ENTER SIMMO!!! (half-expecting a duck )

[Dogwatcher]

DB - no shot offered makes it hard to give the benefit of the doubt.

Crooked-finger wouldn't have even entertained it

DB - no shot offered makes it hard to give the benefit of the doubt.

I realise that, but still the ball moved along way and he was well outside off stump.

There is no way Rudi could have been 100% certain the ball was going to hit the stumps so it shouldn't have been given IMHO. Sure he wasn't playing a shot but the umpire still needs to be certain the ball is going to hit the stumps. Rudi caught guessing again
