**Official** Chappell-Hadlee Series

[FaaipDeOiad]

Yeah, it always amazes me how tiny this ground is. Watch out if Haddin or White end up getting set today.

On that note, still amazing that Haddin is at 3. He was fantastic at 7 in Malaysia, and he's not going to be at 3 in the World Cup. Why bat him there instead of Hodge or Watson?

I can see Shaun Tait ripping through New Zealand, we aren't the best players of express pace.

 

[Laurrz]

God Dammit ........

 

[moshnz]

Another Aussie bites the dust.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Classic Hayden dismissal there. Played pretty well until then too.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Bye Bye Haydos

 

[Bahnz]

Interesting to see Haddin's approach now.

 

[moshnz]

I hope the Aussies manage at least 250 here, would be nice to see the Kiwi's chase a decent total.

 

[Perm]

Good catch from Vettori, Gillespie will be buoyed by that wicket.

I don't know. Vincent managed to handle him (just) when he was red hot on a zippy melbourne pitch.

An out of form Fleming didn't do too badly either.

 

[Laurrz]

on a zippy melbourne pitch.

i thought that pitch was flat as..

 

[moshnz]

Games getting a little boring with 3 power play overs to go.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Haha, Hussey murdered that one.

Really aggressive batting here. Haddin's basically charging everything. Trying to make the most of the power plays while Bond isn't bowling I guess.

 

[Bahnz]

I think Fleming might be starting to regret that chance off Bond.

 

[moshnz]

Tuffey has to be the worst bowler in ODI atm

 

[Jono]

Massive counter-attack here.

 

[Laurrz]

2/82 shot Huss

 

[Bahnz]

How can Tuffey be going to the World Cup?

 

[moshnz]

Hussey and Haddin are playing with more aggression now but the RR is still a little over 4 runs an over. Need to hit a few sixes off an over to get it over 5. Left handers have a 43m hit to the onside to clear the fence.
