Trans-Tasman Trophy (NZ in Australia), December 2011/12

I feel for Warner.

He did not play sensibily at the last. He should have taken most of the strike. He was taking singles on the first few balls.

Yeah he probably could have done that differently, but to be fair, the partnership was working.

So how much lower do we want to go?
Well done Bracewell, can't complain about his performances to date. Unlucky Warner, not much more you could have done.

 

[Aalay]

Awesome comeback from NZ. A very good match overall.

 

[midgetwars]

Sure let's start blaming Warner in his 2nd test...
I was hoping he would hit 2 sixes to win...

laxman v australia did exactly this and won the match.

brilliant match. australia have been involved in so much entertainment recently.

Sounds so similar to my junior side

 

[midgetwars]

On another perspective, if only we matched NZ's first innings...

That cost us HEAPs.

Yes! Thats just made my week, I'm so tweaking happy right now. Awesome stuff from Warner, the rest of the aussies need to have a serious look at themselves they were pretty pathetic.

Why does the public get to choose the man of the match??

 

[teamindia]

Who in their right mind lets spectators vote for MOM. Bracewell deserved it more. If this is done for the India series, Indians will win MOM in every game.

Pattinson Man of the Series...


IMO Chris Martin Man of the Series
Doug Bracewell Man of the Match

Pattinson Man of the Series...


IMO Chris Martin Man of the Series
Doug Bracewell Man of the Match

Martin series?? Pattinson won it for Australia in Brisbane and took 8 wickets this match.

Pretty sure they won't continue with this in the India series.

 

[Sedition]

Not many others achieved their average with the bat like Martin did though.

 

[angryangy]

I agree, but I do think a problem with MotM awards is that they heavily underrate efforts against the run of play. This was a bowler's game, so Warner's was a really standout performance in context and without it, Bracewell might not have made it into the attack.
