QF WP First Test Cricket Report - Australia v New Zealand @ The Gabba

[QF WP]

Play was suspended due to rain with NZ 0/28, so they took an early tea. Still not back, but the rain shouldn't last long.

First NZ wicket:

10.2
Johnson to Latham, OUT, Mitch J strikes and beams, his family is pumped. He waves to them I suppose. Lifting short ball rushes onto the left-handed opener at 147.1ks, Latham does not get hold of an attempted hook. He top-edges it as the ball balloons to long leg. Hazlewood runs in, plunges forward and completes a smart catch
TWM Latham c Hazlewood b Johnson 15 (32b 2x4 0x6) SR: 46.87

Maybe Johnson should announce his retirement more often

14.5
Johnson to Guptill, OUT, bouncer and boom, Johnson style! Banged in at 141.5ks, rises and leaves Guptill in an awkward tangle. He hops up and pops it to short leg. This one carries low to Burns
MJ Guptill c Burns b Johnson 17 (43b 2x4 0x6) SR: 39.53

Now 2/58 with a tired looking Taylor in with the other NZ hero from the first innings, Williamson.

 

[Major]

I am looking forward to bowlers Steve O'Keefe and James Pattinson in Adelaide. Another spinner is a smart move
