Commonwealth Bank Series

[aussie1st]

That was very good captaincy by Fleming and good bowling by Gillespie.
Symonds and Clarke this is usually a good partnership if they get going.

What a foolish shot from Clarke. He was playing so well too.

Still, it's a well deserved breakthrough for NZ who have worked hard for it.

 

[aussie1st]

Don't know what he was doing there, didn't need to play that shot at all. It was a good over from Bond none the less.

 

[aussie_ben91]

It'll be interesting to see how Mr. Cricket goes against Shane Bond.

 

[aussie1st]

Pretty similar to how Hayden was playing him as Bond just keeps pushing him back and back. Been a lot of bottom edges of Bond so far.

 

[aussie_ben91]

Bond didn't get Hayden out so let's hope it's all the same for Hussey.

 

[aussie1st]

It appears Franklin had a migraine so that might explain why Franklin was so wayward. It at least means Astle can finish his overs off and hes been going well so far even beating the bat a couple of times.

 

[aussie_ben91]

White would've had his heart in his mouth for a second there. If he had've been given out that would've been 2 golden ducks in his first 2 ODI innings.

But damn, Hussey's out. His average will drop now.

 

[rickyp]

lol, hes becoming more realistic every match!

hopefully cam white will do something magical, because we need 250+ and it doesnt look that easy right now.

I dont think the pitch is as good as they let on, apart from the opening 10 overs, the bowlers have owned this match

 

[aussie1st]

White was way outside the line so hard nothing to worry about. Both these part timers are going well though, McMillian looking quite dangerous.

First run for White in ODI.

 

[rickyp]

maybe if there were a few more stumps on off side white would of been out, couldnt work out what they were apealing for

that was sooooooo out!!!!!!!!!

but we will take it

 

[aussie1st]

Yea that was out lol what a shocker by the umpire. White is looking dodgy against these spinners, his sweeps aren't working too well at all. Hopefully he can stay in for a bit longer and then we see the fireworks again.

 

[aussie_ben91]

Bring Bond back on. I wanna see White & Symonds destroy his bowling figures & finally see someone cart his bowling around.

 

[aussie1st]

The Bear is destroying Vettori's figures now Those slog sweeps were amazing and powerfully hit. Two consecutive 6s off Vettori not often you see that.

 

[rickyp]

said that too soon aussie, two slog sweeps for 6 in a row! im hoping for 270 now, thats easily defendable
