Aust v New Zealand 2015

[lsz]

Is Bracewell related to the offie from the 80's?

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Think that he may be a nephew but not 100% sure. There is another Bracewell coming through as well who bats 3 for NZ A

Sorry for the delay in reply fellas, been flat out playing both days last weekend so barely saw much of the test.

Thanks for your thoughts....hoping your season is going well.

Yup, his Dad played test cricket but KE is right, john is his uncle. 2 other uncles played first class cricket, the other Bracewell mentioned is his cousin. talk about keeping it in the family 🙂

Second test at the waca has started.

Aust won the toss...elected to bat.

Aust 1/162

Warner moving towards another century.

Apparently only 3 other aussie batsmen have reached 4000 test runs quicker than him.

Bradman,
Hayden, and
Harvey


Annnnnnnnnnnd Warner gets his third century in three innings.

Warner is seeing beachballs out there. 206 and still carving.

 

[manlyfan76]

The most runs by an Aussie on a day one.


I'd bat all day tomorrow, expecting high 30's.

 

[manlyfan76]

N.z. Have taken 14 wickets for 1359 runs so far this series. We still have four wickets to go inour first innings at 6- 539.

 

[globaleagle]

well...aust going the slog so the first innings will all be over soon!


edit: aust declare at 9-559

Now we'll see what the bowlers can do.

Well probably not me....it's almost bedtime.

1 down after three overs.

Khawaja's oft reported issues with fitness and training look to have hit home again, looks like he has done a hammy. Got to admit he was carrying a bit of pudding and he just doesn't seem to want to invest in, or respond to, training hard. That was one of the reasons he has struggled to hold down a regular spot... that and his inferior fielding.

Hopefully he hasn't torn it too badly, it'd be a shame to see him miss out on the rest of teh summer given the great start he has had. Was shaping up to be a real confidence booster for him against two pretty weak bowling attacks.

Agree.

The espncricinfo writers don't really hide their disdain for aust much anymore. I've noticed this over the years, esp when playing India but I guess I'd reather see the numbers then read their non funny prattlings. (prob not a word.)

Latest was reading about how Nz has come close to Aust. So I thought wow....someone must've hit 300 plus.

nz....2-140, not really "close."

Williamson doing well again.

Starc just hit 100MPH.

We got a bit of our own medicine back today. Kiwis batted well. Have to laugh at the difference between Warners carry on for each milestone and the way the Black Caps acknowledge theirs.
