New Zealand v Australia at Basin Reserve, Wellington
Wicket Keeper wakes up with stiff neck, Main allrounder injured. Aussies off to flying start, is not how Kiwis imagined as they prepared for first of 5 Chappell-Hadlee trophy matches but the remarkable aspects about home team today were their back-up plans, one after another, untill winning runs were hit..
Australia, undefeated for last 4 overs, Favorites and first 4 overs produced runs for no loss, without a fuss. Tim Southee and Shane Bond didn't bowl too bad but balls were hitting sweetest spot of David Warner bat and Shane Watson liked the bounce and pace off Wellington pitch. Bond remained calm, attacked the stumps and Warner missed a straight one and Watson was held out to Jacob Oram trying a rash shot.
Manou was Promoted to number 3, the day in spectacular style when he dived to his right for a one-handed catch to remove the Manou from the fourth ball. Franklin, the first-change, bowled Dussey with his opening delivery to have the hosts 39 for 4 in the four over and he was also involved when Manou (0) was unlucky to be given out lbw. Clarke, a player who is so important to Australian side, was hit on the foot well and goes for four. Finding the boundary was the hard thing for the away side and New Zealand's tight bowling prevented a quick start and a competitive score. A quick stand of 41 for 4 in 5.1 overs between Clarke and White was crucial in gaining some momentum for the hosts, but they quickly fell back and were dismissed on the final ball of the 10 over. Clarke was dismiss for 25 of 26.
