New Zealand In Australia

[Gilly Fan]

We've really fought back well today. That wicket of McCullum was crucial. he could've destroyed us in the final 10 overs. Now we have to worry about Oram. Hopefully there are no pies from Roy.

 

[SciD]

McCullum is in form of his life. If only How could have scored freely wonder what Aussie would have been thinking then?

 

[Gilly Fan]

Dissapointing. New Zealand are collapsing. Only Oram can give them a competitive total.

 

[irottev]

Gonna set a pathetic score now. McCullum being up the order takes something out of the lower. But Sinclair should be higher in the order.

 

[SciD]

After being 90 in 15 overs how can they post only close to 250 ???????

 

[irottev]

Because of our younger players. How was far too slow.

t's a shame, every other game we get saved by the lower order and middle order, this time the top order fires and the lower doesn't.

40 wasted balls by How. That's 6 overs. That's an amazing amount of overs wasted when you think about it. Add those on and I reckon we would have had 300.

 

[mattfb]

Yeah How batted way to slow. Bracken bowled 3 maidens in a row to him. Great fightback by Aus

 

[kookaburra69]

How and Vincent need to be dropped for sure,Maybe give How one more chance in the second ODI but Vincent needs to go.

 

[irottev]

No way. How played well in SA. He just needs to be taught to rotate strike.

This game is over already. Not enough runs on the board. o pressure on the batsmen. artin got Gilly out off a no-ball. Things arn't going our way. I'm switching off and doing something worthwhile.

 

[Gilly Fan]

Gilly played an awesome knock. Just got a bit carried away though.

Those sixes were awesome!

Rain closing in. Thought I'd work my D/L magic and come up with this.


Par Score needed after 15 overs: 67

It seems this program I am using is wrong. The Par score is 71.

Ya Churchie was on fire and thats probably the reason Ponting and Clarke could bat so easily.

 

[irottev]

Exactly. That's usually the reason they can bat so easily. Mills wasn't bowling bad balls, Gilly was just too good. Fetching perfect length balls from outside the offstump. Wouldn't have been so easy against Bondy though.

Gillespie isn't someone we would like to be opening the bowling. But unfortunately Franklin and Bond are both injured. Bondy and Mills sounds like a pretty nice combo to me. Let us hope we can field them against England. Having Franklin as well would be terrific.

 

[aussie1st]

Not bad from Tait, Hopes continues his good run in the Green and Gold and Lee isn't have any of that form problem in both forms of the game.

Batting was just devastating still had a lot in reserve too.

 

[superhussey]

Headed down today, Gillys knock was amazing! that six ontop of the Chappell stand was a classic! Shame he got out, he was on fire.

Have to say that the Aussies looked a class above, Tait is like a God to watch, so exhilarating.

Also, I think Ross Taylor will be an absoloute champ.
