I dont recall Kasper's follow thru. How can you?

Anyone else think Southee’s follow through looks like Michael Kasprowic’s? 

DC Joe Burns is another with similar Head technique. Watch how he pushes away from body at ball contact..

Boult nearly bowls Burns LBW again with a swinging pitched up ball. 

Southee is shaping it into the left hander. 

barring rain or a calamity, when we win we should play a bunch of glen maxwell like players in Sydney. At least they have less brain cells to loose against the bodyline nonsense

I have to say when you are so far ahead in the game dont release the stranglehold. Kiwis may get a brace of wickets for not many in our second. Suddenly they have a morale boost. Captains are so reluctant to enforce a follow on these days.

Mike Hussey backs my call that the deck has not deteriorated all that much.

No follow on. 

It might be conservative, but with only 4 specialist bowlers I think Aus batting again and Kiwis batting last is my preferred option to the follow on. 

Thoughts? 

Starc looking dangerous with his 145kph short balls as he yorks Boult. 

Kiwis all out for 148. 

Aus must be 340ish  in front. 

All over red rover. Enthralling bowling display by Cummins and Pattinson.

No looks like Aussies are batting again going on the speed our openers are leaving the field.

Go on get those rib ticklers into Wagner.. give em out prepare to take em. Pattinson too short when bowling to him. Cummo bowled one snorter into his chest region but nothing since.

I dont see the pitch deteriorating. We have only bowled 35 overs.. comms are saying enforce.. go for the jugglar.

It gives the bowlers a good rest too. 

Cummins 5-28 off 17 overs. 

I'd rather not. The pitch is deteriorating fast and I wouldn't want to chase anything on this pitch

nah just a few more than normal to wagner. Only a few more so its probably half hearted revenge

The short ball against a genuine tail ender is big weapon to either take a wicket or make them less likely to step forward to fuller balls are more threatening

5 for Pat Cummins.

Do we enforce follow on?

Cummins takes Southee’s wicket, caught behind Paine. 

Cummins 5 for! 

8-124.  

Will we force a follow on? 

Grazor, I think the Aussies are bowling a few short balls interspersed with good length balls. 

Wagner just copped a very spiteful short pitched ball from Cummins. 

Do you think we are bowling too many to tailenders? 

yep normally 6-7m is the dangerlength

on this pitch its a touch fuller and we've hit the right length much more consistently this morning than last night

would love to hear some stats on how many balls Australia faced that would actually hit the stumps compared to when we bowled. I reckon its a big difference. Even when they weren't playing bodyline tactics NZ were back of a length or wide of off a lot

Very impressive over a sustained period. 

Patto just inducing more edges. 

I can live with it if its just against wagner and just 3 fielders on the legside. I'd rather we bowl conventionally though

and starc is one of the best strike bowlers of all time

Getting some of his own medicine with interest. 

ugh cut this out cummins just bowl conventionally

Wagner now copping it from faster short pitched bowling from Cummins. 

They aren’t getting into the ribs as much, but that one did dropped by Wade at bat pad. 

Ok some rib ticklers for Wagner fellars.

Now Santner goes for 3.

Caught behind by Paine from Patto’s bowling - pitching on a good length. 

Latham  has an average of 40 plus. He can bat. Good wicket for us, Baggers. 

A good backs to the wall knock by Latham. He did not need to play at that. Perhaps the pressure Cummo had built drew him into the drive. 

Well DC I said Latham was going to be a thorn in our side.. needed to at least double that gutsy 50..
