Have to question why Smith keep going with the tailender facing 2 balls per over. Hazelwood is a bunny. Strange call by Smith

Couldn't disagree more regarding the comment on India. Now this bazball nonsense is back getting shoved down our collective throats.

England at it again claiming a bump ball as a catch and then sooking when the third umpire rightly gave it not out. So much for the "Spirit of Cricket" ::).

Hazlewood (22) hung away with Green (174*) to put on 116 runs together for the last wicket.
Aussies 383

Then the Aussie bowlers knocked over NZ for just 179. Lyon 4/43, Hazlewood 2/55.

Aussies 2/13 at stumps. Smith and Labuschagne (in a batting rut) both out. Lyon as nightwatchman was dropped on the last ball of the day.


ps. Comedy capers from Kiwi batsmen Williamson and Young crashing into each other midwicket and running Williamson out for a duck  :lol.
