**Official** Chappell-Hadlee Series

[Jono]

Me, obviously. He's gun from his name to his anchoring pace

Katich is awesome

He's like one of my favourite Australian players, as long as I don't see him bat.

 

[pup11]

Frustration creeping into haydos look at the way he is moving all around the wicket like a cat on a hot tin roof.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

NZ on top, but Australia aren't in the worst position, with only two down. 200 is a good score here.

Hussey playing really well.

 

[Fiery]

That ball Bond bowled Haddin with looks better with each viewing

 

[Natman20]

gone

 

[Neil Pickup]

The phrase "you could see that coming a mile off" seems relevant here.

 

[pup11]

I really saw this coming haydos really was looking frustrated there, but in the end a nothing shot really.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

If Australia lose another wicket soon, surely they'll send Watson in ahead of White?

 

[Fiery]

That was not the most free-scoring partnership I've seen the Aussies play.
Partnership: 29 runs, 14.1 overs, RR: 2.04 (Hayden 9, Hussey 19)

 

[Jono]

I've seen him bowl enough beamers to suggest otherwise actually, but let's not go there as I'll probably get jumped on again. He definitely bowled a deliberate one to Razzaq too after copping a couple from him.

Yeah that was far too much of a coincidence IMO. Definitely intentional.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

The one to Razzaq was intentional for sure. McCullum's weren't IMO.

 

[Fiery]

McCullum's weren't IMO.

Naive thinking imo

 

[pup11]

Fiery its ain't a flat track either mate so no problems with the pace of the partnership, but its the way haydos got out that makes the partnership look that bad.

I know pup

Why are you guys so harsh on binga, atleast he apologises after bowling a beamer but someone like akthar doesn't even do that after bowling a beamer.

Jeffrey Dahmer also apologised to his victim's families in court

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Well, the first one's more debatable than the second IMO. The second was in what, the 47th over? and it was a pressure situation with not many runs to play with. A certain no ball and possibility of 4 runs was something I doubt he would've risked.

I can't quite remember the situation for the first one, but I remember it being earlier in a game in a much less tense situation.

hmmm possibly the most feeble argument.... as pointed out by fiery

I'm sure McCullum would have been chipping him all day as he does. I have my own opinion that both were intentional but only Brett himself knows really

 

[Natman20]

Are Australia being paid to do this?
