    I see Warner has been dropped ,and is being investigated for allegedly attacking Joe Root after our game . Hope the kiwi's stuff them out of sight !!!!!

    It might have done them a favour as he has hardly been prolific so far this tour.

    Adds a bit of extra spice to The Ashes series though!!

    Stupid behaviour from Warner.

    Be interesting to see how NZ cope with 244 to win after their batting display the other day.

    Nathan McCullum seems to think Australia are 20-30 runs under par. I think it will be a competitive score despite being a very good pitch for batting. Purely based on NZ struggling to chase 139 to win against Sri Lanka. Remains to be seen.

    It is doable but they will have to bat a whole lot better than they did the other day.

    The NZ openers are making this look a very good pitch so far. I could imagine India making 330+ on this <laugh>. I think with NZ's wobbly batting they are quite hard to predict in general.

    New Zealand seem overly cautious. Or maybe the track isn't as good as I thought for batting.

    It does seem to be the trend to start slowly and build a platform. Saying that losing Guptill so early might be costly!
