New Zealand had completed dominated the first session...Kiwis had scored 112 runs for the lost of only 1 wicket...On the other side Aussies bowling was completely exposed....Fleming was not out on 51.....Lee was to continue the bowling from the Pavilion end....Fleming and Taylor were more watchful to Lee now...Lee was getting a lot of pace and bounce....White also continued from the other end....So it was still a surprised not to see Johnson in the attack...Taylor played a great cut and cover drive for four of the bowling of Brett Lee has he reached his well deserved and invaluable 50....It was great innings by Taylor...The partnership between the two batsmen has crossed 100 runs....the Aussies needed the breakthrough if they wanted to stop the Kiwis from scoring a large total....Taylor and Fleming kept rotating the strike....It was looking all easy for the two batsmen...

Taylor raises his 50​

Partnership​

As desired by the Aussies the breakthrough came...It was the bowling change which brought the breakthrough...Stuart Clark was able to get a thick edge of Taylor and it was caught superbly by Hussey at 3rd slip....Taylor had to go back...He was applauded by the crowd when he made way for Peter Fulton...Soon after New Zealand lost their 3rd wicket and of former skipper Stephen Fleming...He was bowled by a great yorker from Brett Lee....An wonderful innings came to an end...Fleming was given a standing aviation when he departed for 61....Inform Styris came in...Styris didn't last long as he felt just short from his crease and run out...Poor judging of the run by Fulton which lead to Styris' wicket...He departed for mere 3...Inform Jacob Oram was in now...

Aussies celebrating quick wickets​

Peter Fulton and Jacob Oram had to play sensible cricket as their team had lost 3 wickets for 20 runs in 7 overs....And they both did exactly the same...Fulton was rotating the strike and Oram was just playing carefully...Fulton played some great shots for no runs....Cameron White and Brett Lee were both given long spells and were bowling with some great pace and bounce...Oram was unable to read Cameron White...A period had come when no runs were scored of 5 overs....Oram was just struggling to stay at the crease...Soon Mitchell Johnson was given the ball for just 2 overs...he bowled quiet well...Stuart Clark was also looking very accurate...Fulton soon got the boundary after 13 overs...he smashed a great cover drive of Stuart Clark for 4...and this lead to runs to flow again...Stuart Clark in his next over was smashed for a six by Jacob Oram...White was really economical...Fulton played a great cut shot of Clark for 4...while Oram played a similar cut shot for 4 of the bowling of Brett Lee...Fulton reached his comeback 50 ...it was the most important innings in this match....the crowd stood up to give him a big round applause as he raised his back...Fulton and Oram kept on rotating the strike by converting ones into twos and twos into threes...Running between the wicket has been the highlight of the Kiwi Innings today....Kiwis went back for tea with a score of 218 for 4....

Fulton reaches his half century​

Australia fighting their way back in the match. 218/4 at tea is just good for Kiwis but now they need a partnership till the end of the day. Awesome graphics mate :hpraise great work with the partnership graph as well. This story is getting better and better as it is progressing. KUTGW

 

[surendar]

Styris should do what he exactly did.. ( retirement from test side to concentrate in ODIs ) His place would give chance to some promising players atleast. However, lets see how far they go from here. Some big century needed! This is where Kiwis miss Astle and McMillan

Com'on Kiwis.. Keep up the fantastic presentation!

 

[Highlander999]

Some big wickets fell in that session, so credit should go to the Aussie bowlers. This story has been really impressive and should be a real contender for this months SOTM. Keep up the great work

Phillips Tea Time Talk With Slats and Waz...​

Michael Slater : Welcome to Phillips Tea Time Chat...me Michael Slater with me Wasim Akram known as Waz . As we promised we are going to have a special guest everyday during tea time with us . Today we have one of the best bowler in the history of Cricket . He has taken more than 500 wickets in test cricket and is the 4th all time wicket taker in test cricket..He is known other than the legend of Australia Glen McGrath . Welcome Glen . Nice having u here .

Glen McGrath : Thank You Michael .

Michael Slater : Everyone was saying Australia are gonna struggle after the departure of Warne and you but the situation is not like it now . Some quick young bowlers are coming up and Brett Lee has taken the responsibility of the main bowler quite well . And you would also be pleased with the was Suart Clark bowls . ? What do u think who would replace Warne ?

Glen McGrath : Yes , I had heard many Aussie fans saying after our retirement that there would be no great bowling attack left with the Australian . But yes as you said Brett lee has bowled superbly well . He has taken the responsibility very well as the leading bowler . He is having a just incredible year . He has been taking wickets on regular account . He has improved with his line and length and even has controlled his pace with some accuracy . Other than Brett even players like Johnson , Tait , Noffke are really talented bowlers . Johnson has made his place in the test and ODI side and is really a great bowler for the future . I am really happy with the way Stuart Clark is bowling . I feel proud when people compare him to me . He is a great bowler who would ball in the same areas again and again and make the mistake from the batsmen . Warne's retirement was a major blow as there was no good spinner to replace him . Brad and Stuart are good but not quiet good for the future of Australian Cricket . But I am happy with the introduction of Cameron White . He bowled brilliantly so far and he is hot prospect for the future .

Wasim Akram : Hello Glen , You have bowled for many years please tell us the whose wicket was the most difficult to get ?

Glen McGrath : Hello , for me Sachin Tendulkar and Brain Lara's wicket was the most difficult to get . They are great players and more than that two great gentlemen .

Michael Slater : Thanks Glen , Thank You for coming
Stay Tuned as after the break live action of session 3 coming up...

 

[surendar]

Glen McGrath : They are great players and more than that two great gentlemen .

I agree with those Three great cricket personalities on the field as well as off the field -- The above said two and Steve Waugh in my opinion.

Nice work with the show mate.. Keep it up!
