**Official** New Zealand in Australia

[S.P. Fleming]

I dissagree about Redmond I think they will get a couple early while the ball is still new. I think that Jesse Ryder will be our stabilizer. I really like how he looks at the moment and he has the confidence and agression to play positively against the aussies. I would expect a card something like this tommoriw.

This one?

Nope, not that one. It must have been one from a few days back then, whenever it was it was full of misery.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Generous to Martin there, IMO.

Wtf? I hope these 'predictions' of yours don't become a regular thing.

 

[Smudge]

Loving the Kiwi's in this thread. Haven't even batted yet, it's quality.

Yeah, how dare the NZers do anything other than bow and scrape in the presence of the mighty Australian side full of good, genuine blokes that cricket fans can't help but love. Kinda like their supporters.

I've got this great e-mail that I could send Clapo on this subject. Maybe you've seen it?

About five more times than I'd like.

Because yours are so perfect..

chill out. do you have a problem with it?

 

[Perm]

No, well I don't waste my time trying and effort trying to make predictions as ridiculous as those ones. Innocent fun I guess, but just seems pointless to me.

Holy **** its belting down in Brisbane. Radiosports Allan Macglaclan (sic) just filed a piece of audio from outside his hotel and he almost got smashed by a few deck chairs.

EDIT: Second report: Biggest storm system to hit Aussie in 25 years apparently. Hailing, houses ruined, is this true or is he exaggerating?

in that luxurious situation I wouldve brought Southee in instead of Flynn and given him the right to have a slog.

 

[Athlai]

No half ass predictions from Athlai inc. almost tempted to have a surprise knock from Jeeves in there.

Harsh on Elliot though.

Fulton would've tonned up.

 

[Bahnz]

Just caught the highlights on youtube (god bless internet piracy), the ball from BFJ to get rid of Clarke really was superb. If he can bowl a couple more like that then he might get a few during his career.

McCullum's catch to get rid of Lee was also a ripper. Reckon we'll need to get 400 in our first innings if we're to win the match though, which looking at how tough things were at the close of play last night might be a tall order.

First we'll need to drain the lake in the Gabba from the sounds of the storms in Brisbane atm. Reckon lakes might slow Lee down a bit though.

If that happens I will go buy a hat and eat it.

Should Redmond double ton tomorrow, you must show us either pics or video (or both) or else it didn't happen.
