WC2007: Super 8

They definately should've brought Symonds or Hussey in to take advantage of the powerplay.

Just as I speak, Clarke smacks 2 boundaries.

 

[aussie1st]

Clarke's going just fine with 18 runs in 11 balls which is doing our run rate no harm at all.

 

[ZexyZahid]

At the moment Australia really should reach 350 runs. And it seems Hayden is in the unstoppable mode again. Just hit two fours in a row. And there is another one. Unbelievably hit with ease.

 

[aussie1st]

Right now our score is pushing the 400 mark although that would require some hitting to get there. Wow what a shot from Hayden, I thought we couldn't get Styris and Vettori away but seems like that was due to no powerplay.

 

[ZexyZahid]

It seems that you can see the best batting in matches involving Australia and New Zealand.

Australia 206-2 after 30 overs. 350 runs should be reachable and even 400 runs is in sight, unless wicket falls.

And Hayden gets his century. Great player.

 

[aussie_ben91]

10th ODI century for Matthew Hayden! 5th already this year. I doubt Sunil Gavaskar reached these heights of domination.

 

[aussie1st]

Geez that Hayden is in some purple patch. 3 100s in this WC best ODI form I've seen him in he really is converting now which was a problem early on.

 

[aussie_ben91]

Made twice as many centuries in 3 months as he did in 13 years. Hasn't batted better in the ODI form. Still not better then what he acchieved in Test Cricket though.

4 odd centuries against NZ and Bond didn't play in any of them.

Double-Hundred on the cards?

 

[aussie1st]

Let's hope so, it's really annoying having to start all over again on the quest to see an Aussie make the first ever ODI 200.

 

[angryangy]

Stop bloody jinxing it!

 

[ZexyZahid]

Hayden is out, but nevertheless great century of him.

 

[aussie_ben91]

Err yeah... That's all your fault Sly.

Nevertheless, I got my prediction right that Hayden would finish his career with 10 ODI centuries.

 

[aussie1st]

Oh Ben why did you have to get me started
Won't be getting 400 today.

Looks like McCullum just dropped Clarke there one of the problems with standing up to the stumps.

 

[BigCrickNan]

Hussey has just came in, which means NZ are already at the tail .

 

[angryangy]

btw, if we're being honest about averages.

Tendukar: 44.056
Hayden: 44.065
