Haha, I actually meant that Australia would be looking to score 320+, but fair enough. Anything above 275 should be quite defendable.

Anyway, I don't think this pitch is anywhere near as slow as people are making out. It might slow up later, but so far it's quite similar to the way it played in the last game, where it was a little slow but played quite well throughout and Australia chased a big score down.

We'll see how the spinners go, but it's a big score day IMO.
whatever mate :p

England shouldnt use the next powerplay for a little bit. Bowl Panesar for a bit with Dalrymple and Flintoff and keep things tight with the field back and then use the powerplays once you've established some sort of stranglehold, hopefully.

Hussey captain and Clarke his vice for NZ, can't wait. Three Brad's in the squad as well, must be some sort of record.

Pup VC? Gee that surprises me
He's been touted as a future captain since before he played internationals, really. Captained a lot at junior level and so on, plus he's a regular, long term member of the team while the other VC options like Haddin etc generally aren't..He doesn't really have a leadership role in the team yet I shouldn't think, but I'd imagine that's why they've picked him to be VC.

He just seems like such a pup to me (excuse the pun)

I haven't played Indoor Cricket for about 15 years. Are you still allowed to get people out mankad in Indoor? I took the majority of my wickets that way back in the 80s. (This question might sound random if you're not following the game on Cricinfo)
