New Zealand v Australia, 1st Test, Wellington, Mar 19-23

Or Hi-MAAL-ya, as the PC now intone.

Only requires Haddin and Midge to apply the bit of bang-bang, and NZ are done up like a kipper.

Nanook also brings up his ton.

Har de har.

Seems like Australia is cheaping their way to another massive total.

Is it any wonder that Modi's All-Star Thumpers are such a hit? I ask you.

To add to that, the weaselly faced qunt's got a 100 and so has some guy caled North.

If there's one guys who typies smarmy, erm, smarminess, it's that weaselly faced qunt.

No wonder.

But Punter was out yesterday

I've got it. You're following this on cricinfo.

Nope, I actually like Punter, he's straight. He may be a moron with two heads talking at 'crosspurposes' but he's straight.

Bingle's bungle on the other hand...

Urgh, there's only 4 1/2 decent test teams in the world at the moment- India, South Africa, England, Australia, and Sri Lanka at home.

New Zealand, Pakistan, The Windies and Bangladesh are all as bad as each other.

The case for a 2 tier test league grows stronger.

Good declaration by Drunky, and a good start by Aus. NZ crabbing their way into Aus hands. 2-20 at Tea chasing 5d-459.

Excellent footwork by Midge to run out some neville.

PeterCS wrote:Well, you can be proud of your boy. Held the innings together when it could have been dicey.

Excellent. it's one of the reasons I like Katich so much.

Pleased for pup and Ollie too. I actually like watching North bat (well, I enjoyed his Cardiff ton) so I hope he can do enough this tour to keep his possie in the side.

In the Kiwi side, only Taylor, Vettori and McCullum seem to know which end of the bat to hold.

Which is?


Be careful. This could be a trick question!

Good fightback by the Kiwis.
