previously at the gabba

Australia

Looked very motivated to get wickets, and thanks to a few bad shots and some loss of concentration didn't have trouble finding them.

Then after seeing the Kiwis throw away their innings, decided to do the same, but Katich was having none of it.

New Zealand

Lost the plot from ball one.

Bowled well when they got the chance, but 250 on this pitch could have assured them a victory, now they will have to work their ass off for the chance of one.

Who is in front

Australia has the game in its grasp now, anything over 200 should be hard to get.

But New Zealand have the fire power to get the runs, so Australia will want to set 250 at least.

Either team could still win.

Play of the day

Has to go to Jesse Ryder getting hit in the nuts, but not so much for the fact he was hit, but that a chocolate bar was taken out to make him feel better.

Whether that chocolate bar was injected with tequila we will ever know, but as the great leg break put it, that is man management.

Testicular moment of the day

Since i instigated this i have had to award so many cricketers i have bagged, and here is one for the Krab Katich (Slater approved nickname).

While everyone else was whinging about a pitch where the ball moved ever so slightly, the dirty sandgroper just batted, and outshone his millionaire team mates.

Working Class man of the day

Daniel Flynn is the sort of player this award was made for.

Nothing flashy about the little fellow, but he fights, blocks and gets hit like an old fashioned test batsman.

All this while people of 12 times the talent were playing stupid ass shots around him.

Without him they probably wouldn't have made 100.

Jesse Ryder moment of the day

Lets look beyond his flattened nuts for a minute, how excited was Bill to have him out there.

Bill likes a personality and loves a cult figure, so with Jesse he is getting his fill.

Then Tony joined in, but it felt sick and wrong when he did it.
