Australia in New Zealand

[nik]

i my god, the kit is so bland!

 

[barmyarmy]

I swear that's the Aussie rugby shirt...

 

[MWaugh]

Now, if New Zealand win this ODI series, they will be playing the ODI's against the world XI instead of Australia, right?

it is official, australia only had to win 2 out of their 9 odi between the vb finals and the entire newzeland tour to play the allstars. matches are booked in undercover in melbourne

Aussies are gonan win against new zealand

 

[MWaugh]

having seen the pic of brett lee in the australia shirt, and then the pic of dennis lillee and rod marsh etc. i dont think this looks the same. the old style one was yellow with a couple of green strips across it. the new zealand one however looks alot closer. but hey if new zealand think that the only way they can beat us is to ask us to dress up in tight clothes and grow beards then good luck to them

Cricket needs more mullets.

Punter just hit 30 off that over, 4 sixes, 1 four, and a 2

Australia ended up on 5/214 (20 Overs)

Should be a competitive score i'd think

 

[Ajit]

Aus 214/5 after 20 overs
R.Ponting 98 runs,55 balls,9 fours,5 sixes + 30 off an over of Tuffey(4 sixes, 1 four + 2 off a ball)
They were 54/4 earlier.

I think Aussies just proved that they're the best in any form of Cricket.

 

[angryangy]

That was huge, Ponting and Hussey, 77 off 3 and a half overs. Half that would be impressive in the 50 over game. Sub 250 ODI scores perhaps a thing of the past?

Australia on the verge of winning the first ever Twenty20 International along side with winning the first ever Test and ODI

 

[barmyarmy]

214 isn't a disagraceful score for a 50 over game...
So what do the Aussies here think of Twenty20?

 

[squiz]

It's great entertainment that's for sure, although it doesn't require as much skill as ODI's and Test matches, it's just big hitting. I just hope they don't replace ODI's with Twenty20's

 

[andrew_nixon]

I don't think they'll replace ODIs, they'll just be added. After all, you could fit a 3 match Twenty20 series into one day.

The ICC Champions Trophy will probably become a Twenty20 tournament eventually.

 

[squiz]

New Zealand the first team to be bowled out in a Twenty20 International

Pretty easy win in the end

Glenn McGrath bowling underarm. Shocking. Ban that man!
