David Hussey's spot must be under some pressure, and I'm sure Dave Warner is not far behind him. Of the bowlers, perhaps Tait is most under pressure. With 5 losses from 6 games these players' positions should be under pressure.

Well the Collingwood incident wasn't cheating. But it was incredibly poor sportsmanship. But it wasn't against the rules, what Haddin did is.
Yeah but Haddin could get some benefit of doubt from some quarters, as could have Clarke. Collingwood was basically asked by the umpire, "are you going to be a wanker?" and he replied, "yup".

Not Terrible
6-5 NZ in the CH iirc they* were talking about it at the start of the match. (1 washout as well)

*They being from C9 so don't blame me if it's wrong.
Yep 6-5 to us in CH.

NZ have also only won chasing too and only lost one match when put in to bowl first.

It still doesnt make what Collingwood did cheating (not that I condone it in anyway, I think it was terrible). What Haddin did is AGAINST the rules, so IMO, it is worse. Oh, and Haddin knew what had happened, how could he possibly not? Plus if you look after he celebrates at first, he has a bit of a double take where you can see he is thinking "Hang on a minute..." but then he just continues on with the celebrations.

Agree with this.

Have to congratulate Broom on how he handled the Haddin incident. You could see that he had a fair idea what had happened, but he didn't make a scene.

Maybe he should have.

One positive for Australia would be the bowling performance of MJ, the state of the match helped him with the figures, however hopefully he regains some confidence. He chipped in well with the bat too, gave us a chance.

We needed to get more from Vettori's bowling, spin a real Achilles heal ATM.

That's true. You did handle Patel better than I was expecting though, was quite impressed by the sixes hit off his bowling.

Agree. If Haddin had done that to me, he would have been missing a few teeth.
