How good was day 3? Or, should I ask, how exciting was the
third day? In my opinion, it was just brilliant! Amid all those runs fetched
from the modern day heavy bats favour
Neil Wagner’s ploy to deliver the short-ball consistently
broke Australia’s resistance and led to the fall of a flurry of wickets after
lunch while, James Pattionson’s lively pace simply electrified the Hagley Oval’s
atmosphere. You people still have no idea how enjoyable it is to witness a
pace-bowler in full throttle. Pattinson had been perfect today in terms of
generating deceptive pace. During the afternoon session, it was all about him –
rhythmic action, perfect seam position and disciplined line-and-length. The
extra-pace didn’t err his line-and-length.
Brendon McCullum wished to repeat yet another mayhem, but this time it didn’t
happen – a 27-ball 25 entertained the crowd, but at the same time they were sad
to see the sunset of a cricketer who has reached the height of excellence
despite so many obstacles.
Thank You
