NZ need a few quick wickets now, great batting from Gilly

 

[McKanga]

Unfortunately not. Unless someone was to pay the air fare....

Don't encourage him marc71178. Our experience is that Kiwis don't go back again.

 

[James90]

Fashion disaster this. Umpires in all black, Kiwis in all black, Australia in all bottle green.

Yep, wrong season to move on to the green for Australia. Maybe the umpires could change colours?

 

[age_master]

Vettori on now, love watching him bowl. Always very dangerous vs Australia too.

 

[James90]

The umpires have more reason to be a dark colour than anyone as the white ball may be coming out of their shirt (especially with bowler's like Malinga).

 

[pasag]

Ponting goneee.

 

[Sw1fty]

Ponting gone for 10

 

[Dravid]

bye bye "punter"

 

[Fiery]

On ya bike Punter. Gillespie looking the goods

 

[pasag]

Good stuff from NZ to claw their way back in. Impressive.

 

[Nate]

Impressed by Patel, always rated him. Australia in a tiny bit of trouble, keeping in mind our insanely inexperienced bowling attack.

 

[Halfpast_Yellow]

But our batting in our last game left a lot to be desired, remember

Yep, it looks a lot better for us kiwis seeing no McGrath, no Lee in the bowlers column. Australian tail looks incredibly long too. White at 7

 

[Halfpast_Yellow]

Hmm, I'm going to be optimistic and forget that game as well, and remember our great chases vs Australia in the last Chap-Hadlee series.

And you're right, no Lee, no McGrath..the new Aussie lineup could be great, but they could have a bad day, we know how Lee and McGrath don't seem to have many bad days vs NZ.

 

[Nate]

White can`t be classified as part of the tail by any means. All of our last four can certainly swing the bat.

 

[Halfpast_Yellow]

Macca should be on soon to try and suck up some of Franklin's alloted ten. Franklin might as well be on as well, don't want him bowling at the death. Franklin, Macca and Vettori to take us through to the 40 over mark?

edit: bring Franklin on soon/first to see if he can do one of his trademark 'comebacks', but if he gets tapped try Macca...hmm..

 

[Fiery]

Good catch Nath!

 

[pasag]

Clarke out, poor shot, nice catch.

 

[Craig]

Shane Bond makes another key break through.
