Australia tour of New Zealand 2010

LOL Clarke somehow managed to read my post.

 

[Howsie]

Pretty good ball that.

Lucky for Clarke he started attacking, made his strike rate look semi acceptable but getting out now has made his innings look pretty poor.

 

[McLOVIN]

50 from 5 overs. 2nd 50 took 15 overs for 3 wickets.

the effects of a McLOVIN watching the game... i came in right after the 6 from Watson. after that...

 

[aussie1st]

Tough one to give but Ponting given a life by the umpire.

 

[Howsie]

Bah, New Zealand needed that. Would of given Tim Southee some pretty good confindence also.

 

[McLOVIN]

I hate umpires!! This could hunt the NZs. Another wicket here, specially Ponting's, could have really put NZ on top. If you arent sure, if its tough for you (as the commies are saying) then why not use the TV umpire?? why does it always have to be run outs. why not use it for other stuff more often as well???

 

[Robelinda]

White is such a great hitter, he is so strong and muscles the ball, no finesse just brute strength. I like it, bit of an old style 80's biffer like Viv or Botham or O'Donnell- belt it hard son.

 

[aussie1st]

Southee is bowling with good pace over 140km/h but not look too threatening. Can't wait to see how he goes in the death as that could be the difference between 280 and 300 or 350 even.

 

[Howsie]

With wickets in hand Australia really should be looking at 320+ At this stage I'd be backing them to get that much anyway.

 

[aussie1st]

Nice slower ball by Franklin completely fooled Ponting. Justice is kinda of done there from the umpire not giving him out earlier. Don't want another wicket especially with Hopes a bit iffy from a collapse, need these two to stay in till the 40th over at the very least.

 

[TumTum]

That's it, i'm out. Cyas all in about 4 hours.

 

[Cricketman]

Man NZ making a fight o this. Wasn't expecting this sort of reply from the black caps with the ball with Vettori out, a new, untested captain in Taylor, and Watson blazing away like he was at the start.

One more wicket here, of either White or Hussey, would have them in the drivers seat. Restrict them to anything less than 280/270 and NZ are favorites for me.

 

[aussie1st]

Hmmm strange injury for Oram, don't even know how he managed to do that but doesn't look good at all for him.

 

[Howsie]

Looks like a pretty bad knee injury that for Oram, ouch. Sucks for New Zealand though.
