Swing, bounce and pace. This is some extroadinary bowling from Lee.

Great bowling Lee! sensational, great support by Bracken too, That Lee 10-fer is looking good

 

[symonds_sixes]

I've probably only see him bowl better against India in the round stages of the 2003 world cup

This is amazing bowling by Lee, didn't take him long to reclaim his ODI form of last year. So much for the extra batter a tailender would have had the same effect
Wow another ripper over Taylor.

 

[mattfb]

that last ball came down the track at 154 and that one at 149 once again beat the edge

 

[aussie1st]

Wow Lee is heating it up today, swing at 155km/h! Got 3 slips as well not often you see that.
Wish Johnson was playing today as this looks to be a place for quick bowling and he said he wants to hit 150km/h this would have been the place to do it.

 

[IloveGilly]

He's in good form. Don't think Ponting wants to take him off after 4 overs like he usually does. You wouldn't want to be batting right now at all.

 

[symonds_sixes]

I think with that green strip Clark would bowl well here.

 

[mattfb]

definately, he could have hit the 145's not sure about 150's but with Lee and Bracken bowling so good he could try and push the 150's, 2-7 off 6.2 overs, reminds me of the first match in the chappel hadlee trophey last year in NZ

 

[aussie_ben91]

I'm not so sure, I just hope Clark doesn't ruin the momentum already built by Lee & Bracken.

 

[aussie1st]

Should have chucked Tait in here as the Kiwis usually struggle against pacemen aka Lee, Malinga, Sami!

Yea does look like Clark could go well here, if he doesn't well that could be his ODI career.

 

[mattfb]

i agree, he needs a big proformance, the green should help Clark as he is a seam bowler more than a swing or pace

Damn this young kid has guts! hes really taking to Lee!

 

[aussie1st]

Jeez typical Kiwis always playing better against us then other teams. Taylor fell early against England but against us hes smashed two brilliant boundaries off Lee.

 

[mattfb]

well these last 3 overs have produced 23 runs, so they started off slow but the new sensation might have saved his nation!

 

[aussie1st]

Hes probably NZ best batsmen with Fleming still shakey. Not bad for a kid that has just come into the team.

Interesting that White has been put in gully as hes meant to be a good slipper. We could then have Hayden in his favoured gully region. Still that was a good stop, looks like we have produced another good fielding.
