Any changes to line up?

I wouldn't be making any changes.
With the 3 quicks plus Marsh - I think we have enough of an attack - and Lyon continues to perform well for us.

Unsurprisingly Australia have named an unchanged 11.

If the bowling is wayward again will Siddle come in for the Adelaide test where control and consistent lines and lengths will be more important?

I reckon Hazlewood would've been a borderline selection. If he's ordinary in Perth, I'd say he'll make way for Siddle or Pattinson.

Just read that Hazlewood was almost rested for Perth due to a high workload. Sounds like he will miss the next test regardless, especially if we win. If Pattinson has a good shield game this weekend I guess he could leapfrog Siddle, although I would rather they are conservative with him and make sure he's 100% before bringing him back to test cricket. I reckon boxing day against the Windies would be a good comeback game for him!

Agree with that. Siddle was also very good in his English Test. The line up seems more balanced when he is there, deserves another shot.

Warner with a Hatrick.

Well done DW.

Khawaja has also surprised with his good form

All of our top order are going great guns, but gee NZ look awful. They've played some pretty competitive Test cricket over the past year or 2, but this last game and a bit have been horribly disappointing.

Bit of luck so far though - 2 edges to the keeper - one put down and the other given not out but NZ had already burned their reviews.

200!

[bulldogtragic]

Re: 2nd Test Australia v NZ - WACA start November 13th 2015

Warner 200 not only in a day's play, but inside the first 80 overs. Bloody hell!

[bulldogtragic]

Re: 2nd Test Australia v NZ - WACA start November 13th 2015

360 after 80 overs.

Double it about with some late slogging. 700 in 155 about overs.

That's nearly the whole last session tomorrow bowling and not batting again in the game.

I've been pretty disappointed with the decision to take test match cricket away from the WACA because it means losing such an iconic pitch...then this highway is served up.

Great batting though, you've still got to score them
