Final: Australia vs New Zealand

[aussie1st]

Good stuff Ponting had to hit sooner or later.

 

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

Pakistan really missed trick by letting Aussies in. :laugh

Credit to Kamran Akmal and Younis khan, probably

All those bouncers and Lee ends up bowling that as the last ball NZ end up exactly on 200.

Have to say Broom's dismissal annoyed me the most, he was looking really good before he run himself out.

201 needed for victory, hmmm at least 50-60 short. If we can get Ponting and Hussey early (I know Paine and Watson are opening) we might be in with a chance.

Great bowling display by our bowlers yet we struggled to take out the tailenders

good going AUSTRALIA

Relatively good tailend display by NZ, they could have gotten out for less than 200, but they got over the line. The question is whether it's a 200 surface. The pitch for the Pakistan game appeared worse than this and even then, 220 would have been a minimum score to be comfortable with. This does seem like a pitch on which 250 could have been made and that does put a lot of pressure on NZ.

Is this really a batting pitch :confused:

 

[Fatal Shot]

This match has been an anti-climax.

No Dan the Man is a huge disappointment.

 

[Howsie]

Is this really a batting pitch :confused:

If you get in it is, New Zealand just didn't have anyone that was able to go on and make 80+.

 

[Fatal Shot]

Why are these insects coming again? What's up with this?

 

[aussie1st]

Dam flying ants surely should be some spray to get rid of them.

aussie1st added 6 Minutes and 4 Seconds later...

Oh no not Bond again

 

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

Dangerous swing there from Bond Paine departs

 

[King Cricket]

Just switched on the TV, good to see that the play has finally resumed. And guess what! There goes Tim Paine.

 

[Howsie]

Bondyyyy. Add's to his Australian wicket total.

Btw in nine games against Ponting he's got him out six times.
