Second Test; Adelaide: Australia vs New Zealand

[hearts on fire]

We are cruising along alot quicker than the Kiwi's were, great to see some nice fluent batting......

It would be great to see a 500+ score and see a couple guys get hundreds, we haven't seen that for a while.

50 to Ponting

Aus 2/108

[the joker]

Bloody terrible by Katich, Hayden was almost down the other end and the Kat didn't want to budge.

he was ball watching (he knows he shouldnt do that) they say that Haydos is furious in the change rooms when he gets run out especially on a deck like that in your 100th test

I would be too, Katich is probably hating himself right now and Hayden is probably kicking himself, but thats life, everyone makes mistakes.

[stan]

3/209 has been a good day's cricket for Australia. Hopefully we can see another good partnership.

I also think Chris Martin should get some hair on that head. He looks very strange at the moment.

Also note there are some calls from Kiwi fans for a return of Franklin and Mills.

[spell_check]

Just about every shot today was about placement and timing from the Aussie batsmen. The outfield was so fast, there were a number of defensive pushes that reached the boundary. The only time I recall Ponting putting some real power into a shot was when he got out.

Yep the Kat was ball watching but perhaps the 'WAIT WAIT WAIT' call should have provided a subtle hint to Haydos that the run wasn't on. The run was only on with an immediate YES call and I still haven't heard it no matter how many times I watch the replay. Blame shared for mine.
