NZ just had a hurricane come in the form of Ponting 
and swept away all that got in its way, this is from the game I am playing right now against Aus on a dry pitch. I have not really seen better placement or run scoring without having to hit over the infield in Cricket 2002. Ponting absolutely massacred my bowling skills in the first 15-20 overs. Thanks to Jonah's 
suggestion of playing on in Sq Cut shot, Ponting played one on to his stumps to give the breakthrough. That was the first false shot Ponting played. Aus were 141/2 after 22 overs :o , it took one heck of bowling changes, change of pace, field setting to eventually restrict it to 289/9 
: off 50 overs. Yet again Bond :sw: came to NZ rescue in the death, once Bond's figues read 6-0-42-0. Vettori was good to start with but I bowled one of his overs in the death(49th) to test if CPU gets out stumped every other ball. It did happen but only once 
, I gave away 17 runs off the 49th over. I thought Aus will end up scoring anywhere between 350-380 but thanks to the fall of wickets every now and then, the newer batsmen could not often middle the ball. In the end it was a true test of skills and patience to bowl on this wicket to the World Champs and I have to say as the Kiwis do to OZs every now and then, I struck one up to them :fyou: . Now on to the run chase, I think I can chase this if couple of the top order batters turn up in good form fingers crossed.
There were only couple of edges, one carried to the keeper and another headed towards the slip but I had no slip then(45th over).
