Australia tour of New Zealand 2010

[rocky_pratik]

████ man...238 all out NZ

They had more 6 overs left..

 

[aussie1st]

Nice hitting by the tail but the damage was done and once again NZ fail to finish their overs while setting.

There is rain out in the west so there is hope yet for NZ.

 

[rocky_pratik]

If there is Rain how can you say there is hope for NZ?

 

[Varun]

If they take early wickets , and rain comes then aussies have to face a more difficult target due to D/L method

The trophy is gone but if it rains we could still draw the series.

 

[rocky_pratik]

Hmm got it..

 

[Chewie]

Loving this atm. Hope Tuffey and Bond last the whole 50 and NZ have at least 260 odd to bowl at. Nothing better than a couple of tailenders getting runs off the quickies!

Cricketman added 0 Minutes and 57 Seconds later...

YES! Overthrows! Brilliant cricket this.

Who said ODI cricket was dying?!

Bond clobbers that! Damn son, that was a beauty!

Cricketman added 4 Minutes and 4 Seconds later...

Southee at 11? He can hit a long ball can't he?

Southee can hit crap bowlers around like the english In particular Monty

 

[Howsie]

Ha, even our bowlers can't go on with a start 100 runs short though, Bond will have to produce a brillant spell to get us back in the game.

Some Franklin bashing might cheer me up though

 

[pcfan123]

He can hit only spin basically

 

[Howsie]

He can hit only spin basically

Tim Southee? Nah, he's better of against medium pace. Anything around Johnson's pace is probably to quick for him though.

 

[Iridium]

When they were 100 odd for 1 down I thought that at last NZ was going to post a big score. But no. Poor stuff right there.

 

[Chewie]

Well its raining now where I am...

 

[irottev]

This shouldn't happen 2 games in a row. Can understand the odd collapse but it happens too often.

Felt kind of stink for Taylor. He tried hard to play maturely and unfortunately luck didn't go his way. He hit that ball too well.

Stewart was on debut so I don't wanna be too harsh, but not a smart shot. Styris and McCullum got out VERY soft. Franklin's was another unlucky one. It's the kind of dismissal which you get when nothing's going your way. Hopkins couldn't do it again. Has been a shambles in the middle order.

The thing that irks me was that Australia didn't even bowl well. They were poor early and even in the middle they were really nonthreatening. We shoulda got 300. Just gifted wickets.

Oh and I don't think Australia should select Bollinger in ODIs again. He seems pretty ████.

 

[aussie1st]

Bollinger is just having an off series, hes been the pick of our bowlers all summer, was the pick of the bowlers in India and the UAE.

 

[irottev]

He was the pick of the bowlers against weak sides like the West Indies and Pakistan but now against better opposition he's being shown up.

Australia should play McKay in the last game - wanna see him. They might have to if Harris has a niggle

Yay for the rain. Well maybe. It's probably going to give them an even easier job.
