I think he asked one of the fielders actually. Greig seemed to think it was White. Was the opposite direction to the square leg umpire anyway.

Oh, OK

 

[_Ed_]

Reminds me of his Napier innings, where he fell over with cramp after smacking one in to a neighbour's backyard. That was quite spectacular.

 

[_Ed_]

Going at a run a ball now, fantastic innings no matter what happens.

 

[Craig]

Fulton looks good in the supporting role.

Bit of faith shown in Symonds here. Should be interesting.

I would like it to be more "fantastic" though. At least to the 40th over. Got a runner now.

Bring on these wides Roy

 

[Craig]

With regards to the running, wouldn't Fulton and McCullum be doing the calling even if Taylor is on strikes and hits the ball into the outfield for two?

 

[Fiery]

Fulton looks good in the supporting role.

Yep. I think he's good at 5. Doesn't have to deal with a new ball and good at working it down the ground for singles

 

[Craig]

Wouldn't somebody like Chris Cairns love somebody like Cam White bowling? Nine off his first over.

Hilfenhaus back on.

 

[Jono]

Early days yet.

("Almost well and truly" is an oxymoron)

Fair enough, was just pretty peed with Fleming's dismissal.

LOL @ Tony Greig there. "Well fielded, oh no wait its straight through him".

Far out Greigy how do you do it every single time.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Great shot from Fulton there.

Hate that I'm missing out on this brilliance, have to have the TV on mute since I'm at work.

 

[Jono]

But he didn't say it bounced. He looked at the square leg umpire and asked him.

He looked at Cam White. Symo almost claimed it at first, but fairplay to him and White.

Square leg umpire is on the other side of the pitch.

Edit: Sorry Fuller already posted that.

 

[Craig]

Great shot from Fulton there.

I reckon he is one of the best in the NZ team. Surely White is nothing but fodder at this level and is possible they need to find a spot for Hogg so White doesn't need to bowl again, I mean Mike Hussey would probably go for less runs.

 

[_Ed_]

Both teams were 3-155 at the 30 over mark!

Australia got 94 from the last 10 though it has to be said, we're extremely unlikely to match that.

 

[Craig]

Partnership 80 off 67 balls, excellent effort.

 

[Fiery]

Fulton playing a very good innings here too

 

[Craig]

Johnson breaks through.

Game set and match at this stage, but Taylor really looks the star.

Haha, that shot was against Hilfenhaus. Calm down about White, I think everyone realises he's got a strike bowler at international level yet. He's playing as a batting all rounder, not the role Hogg would play.

And now a wicket. Crucial one under the circumstances, NZ were getting into a good position.

 

[_Ed_]

Game set and match.

I wouldn't say that yet. It must be added that I am an endlessly optimistic NZ supporter (I almost thought NZ still had a chance at 39-6 last week ), but we're not out of it yet.
