Yeah, nice reporting bro -- keep it up.
Australia Vs NewZealand
I'm running with the same lineup I used in the last game.
The pitch and conditions are great for batting I feel, N.Z thought otherwise winning the toss and sending me into bat.
**21st Over update**
Australia are 2/86
Australia started off strong again, getting to 0/50 scoring at 5runs per over. Vettori came into the attack and picked up Hayden with a slower ball, getting a C&B, Hayden gone for 20 off 21 balls. Gilly fell a few overs later, ( I didn't think Vettori could spin the ball so much, pitching way outside offstump to come in and catch Gilly plumb LBW) Ponting (25) Martyn (8) are at the crease. N.Z are really keeping it tight, my runrate is only 4.0 per over.

** 30 Over update **
Australia 6/130
Terrible 10 overs from Australia.. In an effort to life the Runrate I lost key players Martyn (27) and Ponting (29). Bevan and Lehman were dismissed cheaply (Symonds might make an appearance for Lehman next game). At the crease Clarke (10) Bichell (1). With 20 overs left, i've got to survive and bat smart the rest of the way, to avoid an embarrising total.

Australia all out for 181 after 40 overs.
Well N.Z bowled well, and got me out before I made 200.. Clarke managed 28 after being givin out LBW. Bichell got a honerable 17, Mcgill 12.
Batting really let me down. I had several players score into the 20's but knowone was able to carry on.

** 10 over update **
N.Z are 3/43.
First ball of the day, Mcgrah clean bowled McMillan. Flemming and Astle then started to settle in before, Flemming was run out on a close call trying to push for a quick single. New Batsman then came to the crease and was caught out trying to cut. N.Z are scoring slightly above the required runrate.

N.Z are 6/94.
N.Z are loosing wickets, the Key wicket was Mcgill bowling over a set Astle for 30 runs.
N.Z only need 83 more runs to win the game. All my bowlers have great economy rates, I havn't used any partime bowlers yet, and I don't think I will. Bichell has bowled out his 10overs, Mcgill has one left, Mcgrah and Gillespi have 6overs left each.

N.Z are 9/161.
Runrate isn't a problem for them,, they only need 21 more runs, and i only need one more wicket. At the crease Mucullum (26) Bond (8). Mcgrah, Bichell, Mcgill have all bowled out. Gillespi has one over left, from then on i'm going to have to go with partimers.

LOL, how did you lose from that position??
Like the commentators said, you should save some of your best bowlers for the dieing stages of the match. Good win from NZ though

Yeah, i was a little greedy, and thought from the position i was at, i could bowl them out. But they batted really well. and you can see from my bowling statistics that they thrashed Bevans and Lehmans over. I think my bowlers did well though, Gillespi a little expensive. But N.Z really held down my batting.
