Good fighting total by NZ.They are closing the gap b/w themselves and Aussies.

I think NZ can win today especially with Bond and Vettori in the side. Also Styris will be handful in middle overs and Aussies will miss Symonds.

New Zealand have just as much chance of winning as Australia does.
Good total posted. An extra 10 would have been nice of course. Taylor and Styris were struggling a little near the end. Can't blame either, one is inexperianced and the other is first game back (And I think he batted well, just a tad slow.)
That catch to get Oram was an absolute ripper. Good thinking from Lee, though Oram middled it, just unlucky really that Hodge was out there. In NZ that was six. Huge wicket too, he looked very dangerous.
Tait bowled absolutly fantasticly. 160 km!!! Jeez. What a performance. They all had trouble scoring off him. Only 1 wicket, but he's the reason we didn't get 300 up. Clarke did a good job, but Hogg has to be included.
Clark wasn't good enough (he did bowl a few good balls at the end though) and Johnson, probably isn't quite ready yet. He;s had some good performances, but today wasn't effective at all.
Great batting by Vincent and it was good to see Fulton get a 50.
290 will be a record and with the runs on the board and bowlers like Vettori and Bondy it's going to take something brilliant. But the Aussies are in no way out of it. We SHOULD defend this. Key wickets are obviously Gilchrist and Ponting. We need Bondy to breakthrough. It's a good pitch.
Come on boys!
Great chase ahead of us.

2 wickets for the Kiwis, Pup and Punter need to build a partnership, Punter got off to a good start
