I cannot recall being in a better position after day one when batting first. Quality all round great to see Usman get his ton.

would almost have to go back to 2002, after England sent the Aussies in at the Gabba. 2-364 following centuries by Matthew Hayden and Ricky Ponting.

Score would have even higher if nz weren't so slow with the bowling rate (only 88 overs were bowled).

 

[CroydonDog]

So, when should Australia declare?

 

[coach]

Surely at least 450

 

[CroydonDog]

I live about 11km from the Gabba as the crow flies.

Looking south it doesn't look too bad. But there is definitely a rain "smell" around.

 

[CroydonDog]

ok i spoke a bit soon.

Trivia: Australia is 6 runs shy of the biggest 4th innings chase of all time.

 

[CroydonDog]

It is raining over my house. but i think we will get more play soon

Either you know your cricket really well or you have been listening to the commentary team cause they made the exact same comment. Surely it is the first cause I for one can't stand the commentary team. I think the only ones I can tolerate is Mark Nicholas, Hussey and Lee. The others are useless live way too much in the past and only want to talk about themselves and what they did when they were playing!!!

Haha I think that is an understatement and a half. Would be a record chase if they were to get there! Even getting close would be a record. This almost makes up for our world cup defeat in the union

That test was one of my favourites lol, Haydo made 197 and 103 in the match and Punter scored a century too..it was the test where Harmison bowled a mega wide it ended up at 2nd slip

Did anyone see the Warne v Tendulkar all stars thingy from New York this morning?

I only caught the last 15 minutes or so.

That wasn't 2002 that was 06. Was just after they had cleaned us up back in England and everyone said they would come out to Australia and destroy us. I saw that first ball and I knew that we were gonna smash them. And boy did we ever smash them. One of my favourite test series. Always love a good whitewash especially against the poms!!!

I didn't think Glen Innes was that isolated - even my parents in Leeton get Gem (AFAIK)

we watch normal tv through foxtel and it doesnt pick gem up for some reason

 

[Legend23]

we have that issue, have to run one tv separate so we can pick up GEM.

I barely watch TV, only really have Foxtel for the Footy and EPL, but they are losing both next year

Not sure whether I enjoy smashing new Zealand or getting a bit bored by it.

It's only going to get worse v Windies.
