**Official** New Zealand in Australia

Christ, it was behind him!! What a stunner.

R Harper at MCG to dismiss D Jones from Patrick Patterson still better, but it's like preferring Dom to the Vintage Krug. Both wonderful.

"Oh, he hit it did he? He hit it? He must have hit it! Yes, he did hit it"

 

[Smudge]

Punter! What a catch.

Haha nah, made it look harder than it was imo.

I'm reaching the point where I feel tempted to buy a plane ticket to Adelaide, climb up to the commentary box and stove the gushing ****wit's head in.

Come to Sydney and have a few beers instead, get amped up and have a Symonds moment in a pub.

 

[Brett Dale]

Not a bad wee catch, too bad the Blackcaps aren't showing any guts in this second innings.

 

[Smudge]

Haddin - that's a shocker.

 

[James90]

I've suspected all series that Haddin is standing too close to the batsman off Lee especially. Gilchrist was always on the 3-mobile sign or thereabouts.

 

[Athlai]

I've always suspected Haddin was in the lower tier of international keepers in terms of wicketkeeping.

 

[Top_Cat]

Drop him, tbh.

 

[Langeveldt]

Argh.. Morné Morkel.. ABC are going to have a long summer if they cant pronounce SA's opening bowler

 

[Rant0r]

good to see the haddin fans are back in their box

Both Australia and SA fans seem to be mouthwatering at him coming in at 8.. I personally think he is a liability

 

[Natman20]

These are the dire test matches when a team compltetly dominates and result is known a few days before the eventual end. Nice that NZ actually got to play tests and actually play Australia this year but these performances really reflect a lack of experience for NZ in tests and poor coaching focused on ODI performances. Bring on the new coach and get some of the talent (i believe most of them are) to start scoring.

NZ test team is looking very poor these days, no-one finds singles they hit straight to feilders and either go into their shells and defend or try too hard and get themselves out.

I think that this isn't really a fantastic Australian bowling line-up and the matches against SA will be close.

Has been the best series in a while for mine, then again I am a neutral

They were talking about Watson coming in and batting ahead of him v SA

 

[Athlai]

I think we've tested Australia far more than we were expected too personally. Particularly considering how depleted our team is.

Just wait for Aus-SA... *mouth waters*

To be fair to NZ, they haven't been facing mediocre bowling today. Lee's looking like the best in the world again.

Yes.

they are facing good bowling and I see that they lack technique ..disappointing
