Aus wrapped up first test by 9 wickets today. Young Pattinson being the star of the second bowling innings for Australia. It was like watching a young Glen McGrath. Beautiful line and length and just ripped through NZ's top order with a touch of movement away from the batsmen. It's so nice to see a solid right arm pace bowler from Australia not so intent on banging it into the stumps every ball like Siddle and Johnson have a tendency to do.

Watched a bit of it and Pattinson looks a very good bowler. Vettori being run out in the first innings was a shame, he had played very well.
Btw is Watson injured again?

Yeah, hip issue.
Pattinson looks class.
Marsh, Khawaja, Paine, Pattinson, Cummins. Superb class of players coming through. Others like Cutting, Hazlewood, Maddinson who I haven't seen yet..

Aussies in control so far, great bowling conditions to be fair. The best part so far has been Richie Benaud's commentary - he can swear live on TV and nobody worries about it.
The man is a god. Siddle still pisses me off though. Half decent conditions and he'd have been destroyed. Stop fecking aiming it at the stumps every ball.
Aussies need 37 runs with 1 wicket left. Warner is 105 not out. Really good match.
DRS overturns the out, aussies still alive. Brilliant! And the BCCI hate this system 
Kiwis win a fantastic match. Warner finished unbeaten on 123, very good innings from him. Forget T20, Test match cricket is where all the fun is. Also DRS must be brought into all games, it adds to the excitement and is more accurate than not.
Aussies are in shambles. Cant wait for India to get there and thrash the shit out of them
Steady on. No denying we've got issues that need sorting pronto but I thought that was a good performance on one of the greenest pitches I've seen in ages.
But yeah, need a massive lift for India.
Australia's bowling attack is still stronger than India's. If these kind of pitches are being made here, I don't think we should made favorites.
Btw what an Innings by Warner.
