Ryder saved the day for New zealand with a Brilliant century

Australia vs New Zealand
Result: Match drawn
MoM: Jesse Ryder​

​

 

[Dipak]

There are a few positives to draw. I thought we will get thumped since a played my second side wheres the opponents were going full stangth

 

[mohit_dude10]

Is the presentation fine or needs any improvements?

 

[Dipak]

My suggestion is to post the fist inning on both teams together and same with the second inning and use only 2 pictures.

 

[Iridium]

Nah it looks nice. I've never been a fan of using too many pictures but you've got them at a nice size so that's all good.

 

[Dipak]

@Iri:- Wanna exchange team. I have SA and you NZ.

 

[Iridium]

I was actually thinking about doing that earlier today. I do support NZ but I want to try a different team. I'll see how things go after the warmups

 

[Bhargav]

Ya. The presentation looks great mate!

 

[mohit_dude10]

Thanks for the feedback guys.
