She's not looking good Vern

Ponting:
"The game, probably being washed out when it was, created less worries for New Zealand than it would have had if it continued."

Arrogant sod

I just heard the 7 sports reporter say if today's game is washed out NZ will retain the trophy even though Australia lead 1-0. Anyone know if thats true

Surely with the Aussies up 1-0 and if the game today is washed out the Aussies would win the series.

I think if the majority of the games are washed out it is not fair to say one team has won the series from winning one match it just does not seem fair even though they most probably would win anyway. According to a weather site it says the forecast is just partly cloudy but I just saw thunderstorms on the tv weather up-date.

Anyone know what's happening with weather, etc? I'm at work

That's cricket. Aus lost a Test and series for the first time in SL in 1998 and only the first Test was completed, the other two severely rain-affected. Mind you, with a ODI they could just play it on a reserve day I guess.

NZ has won the toss and elected to bowl

thanks mate

I actually don't mind this Series. At least it has some meaning to it, with NZ being traditional rivals. It clearly means a lot to the NZ players and public, which is reason enough to keep it going.

 

[howardj]

This may sound strange, but this current NZ team is really missing McMillan. His new role of batting at no.6 or 7 was suiting him down to the ground and we wouldn't have been missing the firepower at the death overs if he hadn't retired.

Good bloke- cult figure: http://www.cricketweb.net/forum/showthread.php?t=23490&highlight=the+many+faces

 

[Johnners]

boooo, Clarke gone. Wish it was Haydos

 

[Silver Arrow]

Clarke - c & b Gillespie

 

[Burgey]

Ball's doing plenty off the deck here. Even Ponting is looking cod ordinary atm.

 

[Natman20]

Gillespie proving his worth atm. Takes an occassional wicket at 45 or so and goin about 7-8 per over.

 

[Burgey]

Fair dinkum - the way these guys bat amazes me.
Ponting just looked horrid, then he just clicks into gear and hits a few boundaries. These really good players are just in a scary league, aren't htey?
