Its Summer! - the Fever Cricket Thread. (Part 2)

flip-needed that

Huge wicket. We have a massive chance to win this now, but can't take the win for granted. Need to keep bowling the dangerous balls we have been sending down to Bell to the tailenders too.

Give Wagner a knighthood.

Another inside edge :(

Not had any luck today. Frustrating. 

I'm feeling depressed.

But expected.  Good test teams don't throw results away.  They battle hard for the draw and make sure any win by the opposition is hard fought.  I think we are so used to our team rolling over and dying we forget that good teams battle for every last ball.  I just hope that the public/media remember that if we don't get the wickets.  I expect however, that the term 'pathetic' or some other synonym will be thrown about if we can't do it.

I still wish we had enforced the follow on, or at least declared a hell of a lot earlier than we did.

Shark, I was celebrating that inside edge from Prior, I was sure it cannoned into the stumps ;'(

*Sigh*

Southee and Boult on plz...last roll of the dice...

Now, time for the big yorker Southee.

This pitch is an absolute beauty (for surviving)...

Lol, 2 have hit the stumps now without the bails coming off!

How did that miss the leg stump?

Argh!

Unbelievable luck from England today. A Kane Williamson hattrick here. 

C'mon Kano, do it for us again.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

CCCCCCCCCCCCMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNN!

WWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

COME THE $%^^ ON

Edit: Just noticed there isn't auto censorship on the new boards.  My apologies ;-)

Unbelivable scenes...

holy fs-they should make a movie of this...

Need to keep Prior from getting the single at the end of this over.  Need to be bowling at Monty.

Runout to win the game?

Whatever happens here, can I just say I love test cricket.  There is very little that can produce drama like this.

Lol, NZ crowd cheers as Prior's shot trickles over the boundary.

C'mon Kano

Monty, surely he can't survive a whole over here?

Make him play...

Bummer.

Bugger, Monty crawls through for a run on hands and knees.

Need an in out field here.  Can't afford to give away another single.

This is just like MCG '87 again.  Minus Hadlee.

Game over.

3 balls left.

Great effort in the field.  Great test match.  Should have declared a lot earlier, but other than that and the non follow on we have done just about everything right in the last 5 days.

gutted, but what a test

A bit stiff...you have to say...
