New Zealand In Australia

[irottev]

You Aussies ready to go down? lol. I'm in one of those "lets be cocky moods". I'm really quite looking forward to these ODI's and especially this Twenty/20.

 

[mattfb]

Same. I cant wait for cricket. Im not too much of a fan of Twenty20 but boy, I really want some cricket

 

[kookaburra69]

Holly crap that was an awesome catch from Patel!

 

[angryangy]

If you can't beat these second stringers, there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

But seriously, this is what I want to see.

Clarke
Gilchrist
Hussey
Symonds
Voges
Pomersbach
Noffke
Lee
Bracken
Johnson
Tait

 

[Gilly Fan]

what a catch. What a catch!

Patel. You star! That's catch of the summer sown up.

lol at how Pomers got a go. SUCK BALLS HODGE!

 

[ZexyZahid]

Symonds is going ballistic. 52 runs in 26 balls.

 

[angryangy]

Good effort from Pomers.

 

[irottev]

Symonds punishes us again. Taylor had him caught, bad mpiring, obviously he had that controlled. Didn't cost us luckily.

186, maybe the edge to the Aussies since they have it on the board, but it's in the balance relatively. Tait will be the main thing for us to look out for. The top order really needs to get us off to a good start.

2 wickets down, bugger all runs. I'd say we've basically lost it already. WHAT McCullum was obviously run-out. **** decision. No excuse for the third umpire to skrew that up.

And it's over now.

After seeing how quick the pitch is and realizing the Aussies have 3 150km bowlers, I don't see why I thought we had any chance.

Boring! Another whitewash.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Three ducks in the New Zealand innings so far and four overall in the match. What's the record in a Twenty20 match?

 

[irottev]

Anyone who isn't watching. It's not particularly bad batting. just probably the best fast bowling display i've seen in any one day form of the game ever,

 

[karnog]

I switched off once styris got out. I began imagining myself in the team and smashing Brett Lee's first over for 32 and then doin a yuvraj singh by smashing 6 sixes against Bracken. Then i win the match not out on 146. What a dream. NZ win by 10 wickets. My gramps is kiwi so i could move to New Zealand and live out that dream (cough).

That was pathetic from NZ. Taylor's duck was dissapointing and How was plain embarrassing. Bowling from Patel and Vettori was quite good though. NZ are good with bowling attack but their batting is so bad. Vincent has lost his form completely.

 

[SciD]

Whats with umpiring. Allowing 3 bouncers in 1 over !!!!!!

Personally never wanted 20-20 at WACA. Worst place if you come from outside to play cricket as it bounces so much you cannot adjust quicky. Adelaide or Indoor Stadium in Melbourne would have been ideal place for it.

 

[aussie1st]

Hope we get to see the 3 guys over 150km/h in the same team for an ODI match would be interesting seeing how we go. Noffke great form continues he must be really close to a ODI call up too.

 

[icyman]

I was damn impressed with Wombat there.
He can really press hard for an ODI cap as sly says.

Rest,well the Kiwis had no naswer to the Aussies.
Its kinda-you takje away McMillan and Oram,and the Kiwis will be in deep trouble.

 

[irottev]

The umpiring was pretty bad. Didn't cost anyone at all, just they really should have taken the Taylor catch upstairs, all the bouncers they allowed to go, McCullum was obviously run-out earlier which is the worst decision of all.

Oram's innings was superb. Thank god he saved us from embarrassment of being bowled out for under 100.

Was hilarious when Symonds said over the mic "oh now i've gotta bowl to this big basta...". That was awesome with Gilly and Symo speaking a lot. They were really funny.

I sure hope our top order works on facing express bowling, because they looked really bad vs Lee and Tait. Vincent was unlucky,was 2 skyed pulls going to the keeper from the top 3.
