New Zealand in Australia Nov-Dec 2008 Feb 2009

[aussie1st]

Voges is in pretty good form this season, I don't know how hes going now since he hasn't played in a few weeks. But that 4 he hit seems to suggest hes not in bad form especially compared to Dussey who totally looks lost out there.

 

[Inbox24]

Congratulations New Zealand on a good win tonight.

LOL, sorry Australia! I've been bloody good at jinxing Aus recently

Now your doing it on purpose

 

[aussie1st]

Geez we play some boring T20 cricket. Watching NZ the other night they were batting like how you would expect. I think Dussey time in the T20I side could be over.

 

[IloveGilly]

NZ really should get this on their form. But at least there's something decent to defend.

 

[aussie1st]

Not the way I saw Henriques inns ending. After the start we had I really thought we were going to play some good T20 cricket but we seem to gt bogged down too easy. I'm sure NZ will show us how it's done.

With B McCullum showing the Aussies how to hit a ball with the bat, they should take this total and drown it

 

[King Pietersen]

Loved White saying to the commentators 'Yeh, I'm gonna try and put this one away', next ball is despatched high into the stand. That was awesome, as was Vettori talking to Mark Taylor about his plans for Warner, then to get him next ball. Good stuff.

Should be a fairly comfortable chase you'd imagine, but this series hasn't ever gone as expected. Just hope we get to see McCullum on fire, there's not many things more exciting in world cricket atm than watching an on form Brendon McCullum, other than an on form Kevin Pietersen of course

King Pietersen added 7 Minutes and 36 Seconds later...

Guptill gone, that was plum. Siddle looks a talent tbh, he looked good in the last game, and is looking good again here. Australia have a talent on their hands I think!

 

[aussie1st]

Fulton gone as well, Siddle is keeping it tight just needs to bowl with a bit more pace to take his bowling to the next level. He certainly is making a bid to be in our ODI side although he is bowling a bit too much on leg.

 

[angryangy]

Straight bowling seems to be pretty hard to play. Hilfenhaus didn't find his line at all, hopefully his overs don't prove the difference.

 

[aussie1st]

Dussey looking good with the ball tonight looks like the best he has bowled for Aus. And I guess we won't be see Henriques bowling since we need to keep the pressure on.

 

[angryangy]

Geez he's cutting the batsman apart, if only he was a bit fuller, he might have hit the stumps.

 

[King Pietersen]

McCullum needs to open up abit and start playing some big strokes. His skip down the wicket lofted cover drive was a peach. The guy's got so much power. As long as NZ don't collapse they should win.

 

[angryangy]

Ah now that over from Hilf brings them right back. only 2 balls hit, if they had been skipping down the pitch there, they might have been stumped.

 

[aussie1st]

McCullum starting to open and hes now got NZ back in it. Nicely made 50 by him.
