Does anyone have ideas how we can improve for the second test?
 
^you could bring mccullum in as a specialist batsman instead of taylor or mccullum could keep and you can go back to bowling leggies.
 
Why does Aussie have five Internationals, while we only have three??? :eek:
 
Because I like to play all my PC members?

Or there aren't as many Aussies are there are kiwis.

Auckland Ace and Callum both bowl leg spin so we don't really need that.
 
Wow, We won the match.. Katich is been in serious form. Allover We played Well, Hope we will win the next match as well..

A few notable changes in the lineup, Waqas makes a comeback to test cricket after abruptly being dropped for the in-form Hauritz. And from the New Zealand lineup Brendon McCullum makes his test debut for PC New Zealand. It'll be interseting to see how he performs. Surprised he's keeping though as he's a excellent outfielder.


Team Australia

Coming off a strong win against the kiwis would look to continue that momentum in this second final, they know they have to push hard here, and not let the kiwis get away.


Key Players

Waqas

Code:
Name               Club             Mts  Inn  NO  HS   50 100 4s 6s Avg    Runs  Overs  Maid RunsA BBowl  5I 10 Avg    Wkt  Ct  St  RO
22   Waqas              AUS              3    5    1   32   -  -   12 1   17.75  71    34.0   14   86     1-33  -  -   86.00 1   2   -   -

Not great stats for a test grade player but he'll look to strike early with his variations especially on this poor track and strike hard as a batsmen.

Andrew Peters

Great middle order batsmen, he hasn't done much yet but as a captain he needs to concentrate more and play the innings he used to before; one quick-fire 50 could be the deciding factor on this track.



Team New Zealand

Strong team, but lacking confidence. After the first defeat; they would have to bounce back strong and win comfortably to show the aussies they mean business.


Key Players

Brendon McCullum

Strong aggresive batsman, he'll come down the order and blast runs if needed or play defensively depending on the situation, he has to score runs today otherwise the gamble didn't pay off and it could cost the kiwis the shield.

Daniel Vettori

Great performance by him in the last test he'll have to continue his form in this match if the kiwis have any chance of winning.


A must win game for New Zealand here; we'll be back with the toss and the day's play soon. Until then goodbye.

2nd Final


Welcome back, lets go out to the pitch for the toss.

GALL_WACA_SS1_gallery__312x400.jpg

Andrew Peters tossing the coin as Choie watches on

Andrew if you would do the honours.

Jono Choie - "HEADS"
Match Referee - "Its Heads"

Jono Choie - "We'll bowl first the pitch looks poor and a little grassy best bet for us to bowl first and restrict them to around 300".


So the New Zealand captain decides to field first a bold move this as batting last on this pitch will be a hassle. We'll have to wait and see how it goes.


We're set to begin the field is set and here is the first ball.

New Zealand draw with Australia
  
Man of the match: Simon Katich



What a match; this is the first draw we had in ages that to on a poor pitch. Finally the batsmen get some scores. Now the series goes down to the last match if Australia win they win the series, if New Zealand win we will have a joint shield champion.
 
Good century from me, but Simon Katich!!! :eek:
Now we need to win the final match.
 
Well Played, Now pressure on NZ. Katich is in great form, Hope to continue this form in the next game .
 
That was a fail poor pitch lol

Chewie added 0 Minutes and 26 Seconds later...

RDF hasn't been performing very well at the start of the innings... :(
 
Looking at that, RDF and harshshah are the two NZers that have been underperforming. And Callum. But he scored a century so he's ok.
