Generous from Clarke, saying Elliott deserved MotM instead of him.

Excellent.

 

[Craig]

Elliott wuz robbed!!!!!

 

[Demolition Man]

I would like to say well played NZ but really any side should be able to chase down 220 on that wicket. Some really soft cricket from the Aussies.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Anyways well played NZ, and especially Grant Elliot, his innings made all the difference in the end and was ably supported by Broom.

Along with Mr Extras.

AUS lb 8, w 12
NZ lb 2, w 3

Correct, too.

Warner gave good support to Elliot, who made an unbeaten 61, and helped see his team through to a victory and a 2-0 lead.

WTF, Warner???

 

[TT Boy]

Predictable from Greig, "born in South Africa".

*sigh*

And bred.

I don't think he has much of a long term future at 5 but top innings nevertheless.

As for Australia, when James Hopes is your best bowler, you know you are up **** creek.

 

[_Ed_]

Correct, too.

True. Nice of him to say so though.

 

[Smudge]

Or higher.

Damn you - I had just quoted that!

I couldn't watch until the final few overs - I'm becoming a terrible watcher...

Elliott wuz robbed!!!!!

Sheez, how does that work?
Match winning 60 not good enough these days?

Or perhaps it was decided upon with 10 overs to go?

 

[pup11]

Elliot robbed of the MOTM award...

 

[TT Boy]

Or higher.

Or not.

Reverse jinx

It's a joke and mockery of cricket to give Clarke man of the match. For what? Succesfully batting his team into another defeat?? Utter joke.

Gramt Elliott will be my new avatar tomorrow.

Yeah very good stuff from Clarke, good to see him take the responsibility of the defeat too.

Clarke's first loss as captain ITBT.
