**Official** New Zealand in Australia

Sensational knock from Katich.

Can't remember the last time an opener batted out the innings, fantastic stuff.

Taylor was the last Aussie to do it according to the radio.

Southee was obviously tired from his first innings bowling. But if New Zealand win I can buy several cartons of piss to drown my sorrows.

Australia had two blonde captains in a row with hughes and border.

Blonde? Interesting assessment.

344* innings?

Katich just reinforcing how awesome he is imo.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say New Zealand will win this. The pitch is flattening out and if they bat sensibly, only one person needs to play an anchor innings to get them home. Also they definitely can't let Johnson get wickets, that is unforgivable, they need to hammer him to smithers so that way we only have 2 bowlers effectively.

Well there is no doubt hughes was.
And border is blonde now. I never saw him play. Im too young.

Only twenty three times has a a total of three hundred or more being chased down.

This what I hate, you can get ***** like Hayden and Ponting out cheaply and have Australia reeling but you can't also get douchebags like Johnson and Clarke out cheaply. Why?

Finger crossing time.

Nah that was declared. 169* vs SA.

I can see us bettering out first innings effort, possibly make 250, but it will take a lot of effort, determination and skill which the top order will have to go the extra distance in terms of how they play. Taylor and How especially.

younguns, i dunno

344* innings?

don't think that counts, because they declared, there would have been another one when he batted through and made an unbeaten hundy, i can't remember off the top of my head though

Right there with ya mate. GO THE KIWIS !

It's disappointing that the second-highest score posted in Australia's second innings was posted by the second-to-last batsman.

Lots of 'seconds' there.

 

[pasag]

Leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

 

[Rant0r]

think How needs to remember 'soft hands' to the new ball

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Oh dear, wish that was Redmond. :'(

 

[NZTailender]

Oh **** me dead.

COngrats to Lee on the 300.

three hundred is too hard of a task for a weak new zealand side to chase especially when the last time they chased three hundred was back in arrr.....1994.
