Test 3 day 2 lawn 3: Garrison and Westerby vs Death and Mulliner by Jarrod Coutts

Kiwis are red and yellow. Death is having first break after I heard he hit 4th turn of a duffer opening and is going round currently approaching 3b and will be making a spread

Westerby takes the long lift.... middles boundary ball to c4. Should be away now

12 Jan 2014 8:23AM (Tournament); 41 Readers

Ugh Oh. . Hampered out of h1.. referee called. .. No dramas

12 Jan 2014 8:23AM (Tournament); 40 Readers

I'm predicting an nsl with Deaths k at h4

12 Jan 2014 8:24AM (Tournament); 41 Readers

My prediction was correct. . But I didn't guess he would be attempting a pop along the way. Didn't get the pop but finished witha right leave.

12 Jan 2014 8:47AM (Tournament); 57 Readers

Interesting. . I thought it would have been straight to Stephen but it's Death who picks up the ball. . Middles the long lift. What will the leave be?

12 Jan 2014 8:48AM (Tournament); 56 Readers

Garrisons h1 ball is 5yn of h2 Westerbys 4b ball is 2yw of h1 and b an k are laid up approximately peg high near eb.. Not exactly where they wanted to be as the roll over from h2 strikers ball hit the peg so it's a 2.5y reverse rush and they didn't get the wire they were hoping for

12 Jan 2014 8:55AM (Tournament); 62 Readers

Westerby corners Mulliner rolls of h1 from c4 to a foot. Good shot

12 Jan 2014 8:56AM (Tournament); 62 Readers

Rushes back to c4 afterwards. . Still a bit if work to do but should/could be a standard tp on the cards here

12 Jan 2014 8:57AM (Tournament); 62 Readers

Doesnt get a rush to c2 as strikers ball rolls into it. Take Off finishes e of it so will be a backwards take off to h2...

12 Jan 2014 8:58AM (Tournament); 59 Readers

Bounces of the leg to 6 inches 20 degrees. . That could have done anything there. Should be a standard tp now

12 Jan 2014 9:00AM (Tournament); 58 Readers

Angled h3 runs it by 8 yards. . Dribbles at 7y return. . Misses peele.. snicks escape ball but snicks it to 3 inches in front of 4b :/ tpo from him now

12 Jan 2014 9:03AM (Tournament); 61 Readers

Will he try and get a peel or two on partner as well?

12 Jan 2014 9:05AM (Tournament); 65 Readers

He's peeling the penultimate ball through 6 to get it into peeling position. . Left himself sshort 30 degrees hoop?

12 Jan 2014 9:10AM (Tournament); 70 Readers

No problems. .. second peel done. At the moment partner is at 1b.. Will he swap this over with peele so he can get partner to 4b and be confident of the straight finish? Nope partner is straight to 3b

12 Jan 2014 9:12AM (Tournament); 69 Readers

Lining up the rover peel going to 3b... looks surprised it hasnt gone through. . Should be rush peelable. Hampered after 3b but copes

12 Jan 2014 9:17AM (Tournament); 66 Readers

Competes the tpo has Death and pegs two off. This is a bit more exciting
