That Tim Southee is a ripper of a bowler as is Jesse Ryder

If Australia can add another 60 or 70 runs it would almost put the game out of reach. Ideally, if they could get the lead past 300 I couldn't see New Zealand chasing that, their tail is worse than I thought it would be and their top order didn't do a lot bar a few small contributions.

Prtety good game though, haven't had one of these on Australian soil for a while.

I prefer this sort of game then one on a lifeless road where bat totally dominates the ball.

Still wtfing Pontings choice of shot tbh.

Just seeing Johnson bowling to Martin, is he an idiot or cant he bowl a yorker?

Was a definite missed opportunity for a test hattrick.

He could have bowled two types of ball, the one he bowled or a yorker. He probably should have got him though, Martin is a genuine number 11. Averages something like 2.5 with the bat.

2.3 I feel.

Not even a edge through slips that.

2.38 in tests, 74 runs and 30 not outs.

Averages 1.60 in one-dayers, total of eight runs.

The funniest thing was the next ball he bowled the exact same ball and Martin played it the same way
