New Zealand in Australia Nov-Dec 2008 Feb 2009

Hilfy is useless

Doherty has a habit of losing his rhythm and then bowling a slow half tracker.

Whoa Kyle Mills hit a six over the stands, he should open the batting for Australia.

 

[IloveGilly]

Think we'll be seeing the end of White and Hilfy soon, also David Hussey if he doesn't perform.

I've always enjoyed watching Taylor bat, one of my favorite NZ players.

What a shot from Mills that was, that would've traveled over 120 meters.

 

[irottev]

Not enough runs. We let Clarke bowl too many cheap overs and Hopes too. Both of them are very average. :/

 

[Mr.Cricket]

Clarke 8 overs 1/23
White 2 overs 0/24

::

Clarke shouldve bowled 10 overs or maybe use Hussey for couple of overs. But keep the ball away from White , he is useless bowler. We really need to learn how to bowl yorkers in the PP. Our PP bowling is pathetic.

Good effort from our bowlers overall though. We should be able to chase this down but anything could happen this summer.

Hopes for MOTS. What a star!!! :hpraise

 

[aussie1st]

Hilfy certainly shouldn't be bowling at the death if hes in the side, he really struggles under pressure. Bracken has been pretty poor under pressure in the last 2 games as well. Hopes has been the star when the pressure is on. Johnson with his pace and better control lately would be better at the death until Tait/Lee come back.

 

[irottev]

We need more wickets now. We have to bowl Australia out.

Clarke out to tall cover again. (Calling Fulton at that position short cover is just silly)

 

[aussie1st]

He really didn't need to do that, just had to drop anchor like he has done in his past 2 games. Now got pressure on these two given the poor form of Dussey and White.

 

[irottev]

I've had a gutsful of these incompetent Australian umpires (aside from Reifel and Taufel) That was so plumb it's not funny.

We get all the shitty decisions this series :/

 

[Mad Snake]

I cannot believe that lbw wasnt given out

 

[irottev]

We need everything to go our way in small chases and that didn't. The run-rate is dropping, but we still need wickets or it's easy.

 

[aussie1st]

If Ponting hits form the short boundaries are primed for him. Haddin playing some good shots now after a shakey start.

 

[irottev]

Southee gets his Bunny

 

[aussie1st]

Geez Ponting form is worrying, not how we need him going to SA. He seems to be playing T20 cricket these days can't be bothered staying in for a big knock.

Make or break for Dussey if he fails here that must be his chances gone.

 

[King Pietersen]

That was a really awful shot from Ponting, was looking good. He's turning into Ian Bell, goes out, looks great, gets a start then gets out. Hopefully Vettori'll bowl well and pick up a few!
