Its Summer! - the Fever Cricket Thread.

Wow, in the post day press conference Pattinson was saying that he thinks the groundsman left it so soft because during a shield match this season the pitch broke up so bad that the ball was occasionally rolling on the last two days, and the groundsman is scared of that happening here.

It IS Hamilton v. India mid 2000's!!

the 150 is looking a lot better now

Yeah, definately can't blame our batsmen TOO much for imploding. Though we can when Clarke Hussey and Haddin add 300

Is that 4 wickets we have?

Nope, its 5 wickets

and thats 6....

clarke -goonneee

Great fightback.

Bugger me the pitch is a right leveller and the nix are live at 5 tonight anyway 

You don't fool me with this sh*t Blackcraps.

YUSS!!!

Phil Hughes is hopeless!

We must believe.

Good to see NZ Cricket have listened to the critics from last years home test series. Have just got an email from ticketek about prices for this years series, and the prices for the SA test at Seddon Park are $15 for a day, and a 5 day pass for $45.

Absolutely brilliant. Much more realistic. I hope we get a good turnout.

Young needs to make some runs here

Southee should hang his head in shame - and I said that after the 6, let alone when he holes out AGAIN to long on.

Really Southee?

We really needed a lead of 300+. hopefully we can roll them again for f all because of the shoddy pitch but I can't see it.

I hang my head too, for believing in the blackcraps. 

I think if we can get one of Ponting or Clarke in the first 75 runs or so then we have a show.

Keep going Boult

240 not to bad, should have at least been 300. 

Good little cameo by Boult, but 240 isn't going to be enough

Early wickets with the new ball and we're a chance.

Yeah our bowlers really need to strike early to put the pressure on them.

Ive just started watching again, Must mean a few wickets to come

This one's gone. Bring on Zimbabwe.

That's it.  I f**king hate these youngc**ts.

Not bowling well. Game over unfortunately :(

We have got the next 4 tests at home,so look forward to some improvement.

These two test series leave me so sad. Missing 3 or 4 test match series. I remember when these NZ-Aussie tests were epic. Hoped like frick Taylor/Williamson/Ryder or any of the accomplished batsmen was guna do something in this one. Specially if one is at the Gabba. Aussie never lose there, so you're always on the back foot.

Zimbabwe though Leggy! bludy zimbabwe!

Played T20 yesterday, we made 230 in our 20 overs then had them four down for 40 after 6, then sh*t got interesting when the umpire (their player) started throwing punches after our players disputed one of his calls - he called a wide that went between the batsman and leg stump. So with two of our players nursing head injuries we walked off. He was a big samoan guy so we thought it was best not to fight back and let the board deal with him. Not your typical game of cricket.

Sounds exciting for once

LOL, P. Hughes c Guptill b Martin x4!

Big collapse now please. Geez i hope that arrogant little prick Warner doesn't carry his bat or get a 100

Can somebody give me 3 suitable reasons why I'm watching this?

1. You have nothing better to do.

2. You're kidding yourself in to thinking a miracle may happen.

3. That little Aussie c**t Warner is currently in pain and struggling.

Masochism? Self-hatred? Stiffy for Ricky Ponting?
