How is Latham still batting... Sent from my HTC One_M8 using proboards The way we have fielded this session it looks like we want to keep him out there.

Didn't realise. Fixed now. Excellent ! And he's a sucker ! Follows a fine Aussie tradition of Happy Hookers. Remember this fella backin 85; Both kept bouncing him, and he kept obliging. I think this was the moment the late great Richie Benauld's hair went completely grey! Enjoy... Edit; bloody video link not working. Follow this

Surely that should have been over ruled?? that's out LBW any day of the week , it was a poor call from the on field umpire in the first place . That's exactly how I saw it mate. I've been getting ready to go out so I've missed any analysis of it,so why wasn't it over ruled Bisp?

But very just. Do the Kiwis have 3 wicket keepers in this team? Ronchi, Watling and McCullum?

I thought it was strange in the last Test when Watling was injured that Latham kept wicket? Why didn't McCullum? It's a pretty decent position to skipper from behind the stumps (I know I use to).

I believe that McCallum has a chronic back problem mate that's why he's relinquished the gloves .....I've never found keepers to be particularly good captains as most of them are around the bend ! ( your good self excepted of course )

Never question a woman's logic mate .....they don't have any ! .......going back to keepers they are a breed apart ..especially the modern version who is nothing more than a mouthpiece in the field ! They never shut up .....constant verbals after every delivery ....oh for the days of Knott and Taylor who hardly uttered a sound .

Before 'keepers were a bit strange (Knott, Taylor, Barstow), then Gilly came a long and they all wanted to be aggressive attacking batsmen. That's more and more encouraged their behaviour behind the stumps. Anyway, interesting fact of the day (courtesy of "Tuffers Alternative Guide to the Ashes" - an Xmas present) - Bradman came in at number seven at the MCG in 1937 (http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/current/match/62643.html). I assume there was a reason the greatest batsmen ever batted so low?

And where as he may have got his front leg just outside the line ....it hit his back leg which plainly was not ! .....none sense of a decision .

Use to be really pissed off at the 12th man if it wasn't 12 mins. Always use to prefer Taylor to Knott (after all he did own the only sports shop where I grew up).

You can't really imagine why else the Don would bat so low.

And Jack used to take dozens of tins of Heinz beans on tour with him ! There was very little to choose between Knott and Taylor behind the stumps ....both were world class , local sentiment I suppose means that we would favour Taylor , but Knotty was in a different class with the bat whereas Bob Taylor was hopeless really ....he wouldn't get a look in today ....didn't Bob Taylor have an association with Bagnall C.C. I'm sure I played against his son once upon a time ?

Didn't he start off as an opening bat though? You're right, the days of an out and out keeper who can't bat are long gone.

Well I'd never like to have to judge who was the better .....possibly Taylor would shade it ....but it would be a shade for me .....Alan Knott was one of my favourite members of the England side of that era , so possibly there is a little bias on my part ....I'm not sure that Willis went in above Taylor ? ....for Bob' s sake you would hope not ! ...I can't say about him ever being an opener though . When I say Bob of course I'm referring to Taylor not Willis
