Gold coast are rubbish at supporting anything it seems

If they put a team there over Canberra then it deserves to fail

I have tickets for tomorrow, but if this smoke doesn't go away I'm probably not going

They were talking about cancelling the match on the radio this afternoon, if the smoke is as bad as today.

I don't think it will go ahead

Not too bad today

the PM2.5 readings are off the charts and won't improve when the wind changes again

I live five minutes walk from the ground... it is really bad. It changed in the matter of minutes. The photo really not showing how bad it is. It is like a bonfire right in your backyard. Yet this smoke is coming from the south coast and the fire near Braidwood.

4 more balls and no wickets and I collect. Can you start up your blower GE??

It was a rough walk to GEs from the ground to get my car. The drive home was eery

5556 was the crowd, unsurprisingly

Just driving around town today, it is also pretty clear that Friday was the last day at work for a lot of people, and there are a lot of people who left town yesterday.

I'm not convinced GE. There were truckloads of people at majura park today

Yeah people are still here, they just weren't interested in going outside when every media form is telling them not to

Why are the BBL umpires so **** ? Genuine question

I went to school with Paul Wilson the umpire.

Toronto High 1983-1986.

Me and Blocker..yep !

[greeneyed]

They really are playing BBL at substandard grounds these days. Moe? It’s really lost some shine.

Lynn made a run, must be Christmas

I reckon it’s bloody fantastic that they’re playing these games at regional areas. I mean these games are completely forgettable in the long run. Coffs Harbour hosts a gams in January too.

[Northern Raider]

Some of the crowds have been a bit ordinary. Might warm up post Xmas.

He had an embarrassing side-crease no ball problem.

Everybody expected that to be the case. Still some epic trolling from Langer by adding Siddle to the squad.

1st over Boxing Day and Boult unleashes a cracker to dismiss Burns. Going to be a tough session for Aussies.

[RedRaider]

It was a great left arm swinging delivery though. Right on the money and cleaned Burns up middle stump. Difficult conditions for the Aussies but they are battling through it.

[greeneyed]

Now Warner is gone.

[Northern Raider]

Aussies were looking pretty solid till that last half hour. Warner started fending outside off again. Then copped one in the chest that may has rattled him. Smith battling away but looked like Wagner was getting in his head.

Normally would be NZ session but given they chose to bowl first you would call it even. 1st hour back from lunch will be telling.

[Matt]

Great ball from Boult. Perfect left arm swing delivery. It's a good ball to bowl to Burns, as his technique is in question there too. Bat and pad too far away.

Warner definitely rattled by the hit to the chest. Started fishin', eventually 'caught something.

Labu dragging on off his forearm. Well, that's the very rare example of why shouldering arms is the way to play it. Get out of the way completely. Don't 'swing the lightsaber' when leaving. Coz stats will show, eventually something like that will happen.

Smith quickly to 50 post Tea.
Wade looking edgy.

They have such a solid seam attack. Really let down by lack of a quality spin bowler.

The NZ commentary team covering this test match through either tv, radio or print all agree he's not even the best spinner in NZ...tru dat !!

1st test I thought Raval looked more threatening. Accurate stump to stump line kept them honest. Santner they just wait on him till they get a loose one.
