Australia pip New Zealand in first day-night Test
Siddle’s grandmother passed away overnight – the day after he took his 200th Test wicket.
It was the first time since 1993 that an Adelaide Test match had not produced a single individual century.
Player feedback was more mixed and numerous 22 involved in the fixture that ended inside three days are yet to speak. “Once I get home I will talk to the medical staff and map it out and see what it looks like”.
“It was a great Test match”.
Hazlewood continued the impressive form he showed under the lights on day two by collecting BJ Watling (7) and Mark Craig (15) caught behind and then castling last man Boult (5) to better his 5-38 against West Indies in Kingston in June.
The total attendance for the match was 123,736 – higher than any other non-Ashes Test in Adelaide. People are voting with their feet.
With the pink ball, Hazlewood proved to be very effective, especially when there was some movement on offer under the lights.
Like most, Darren Lehmann loves it when a punt pays off.
“It was fantastic for Shaun to get an opportunity, I think he has been batting extremely well”.
“He just made an error of judgment, they’ve admitted that, fair play to them for holding their hand up”, he said. I think, tactically, there’s a lot to learn for captains as we head into the pink-ball era. “Even on day one, I thought maybe there’s a chance of declaring which is unheard of in Test cricket”. It certainly asked some different questions.
“There’s no point doubling up with extra time with a bit of surgery, too”. “Everything sort of fell into place with teams getting bowled out”.
New Zealand Cricket will move on satisfied that Nigel Llong followed the correct DRS processes in his incorrect decision in the day night test.
“The whole Test was a great innovation”.
“(It was) a great spectacle. New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum. “Some swing and some don’t when you’re trying to bowl the same ball”. Mitchell Starc limped off. Josh Hazlewood stepped up.
“The good news is that the system is robust enough”.
Tom Latham and Martin Guptill edged catches to the cordon and Ross Taylor was undone by a piercing in-ducker. We couldn’t be happier with the results with nearly 3.2 million people watching Nine’s broadcast last night. Australian paceman Peter Siddle.
Trent Boult of New Zealand celebrates dismissing Joe Burns of Australia for lbw during day three of the Third Test match between Australia and New Zealand at Adelaide Oval on November 29, 2015 in Adelaide, Australia. For a period of time, we’ve seen games probably slightly weighted towards the batters.
Speaking before the ratings for Sunday’s final day were revealed, Cricket Australia boss James Sutherland was already hailing the historic event as a success. “I felt it crack that last ball”.
