**Official** New Zealand in Australia

[Zinzan]

Broom had no idea today. Rough diamond. Hasn't looked the batsman he could/hopefuly will be this series, has been unlucky but getting a lot of starts and not converting.

Yup, and in hindsight his innings of 20 odd in Melbourne was full of edges & lucky shots

 

[JBH001]

Ugh. Screw this ****! I am going home.

 

[Precambrian]

NZ 220 is a good score?

 

[inbox24]

Very original

I thought you went to Uni to study.

Wow Inbox your puns are so witty and clever I log into CW just to read them.

Despite the fact that he's beaten him, and on any other ground in Australia he's taken a wicket?

That's true, but he still bowls way too many different kinds of balls in an over, anyways has bowled a lot quicker today though and rushed batsmen into playing shots.

Yeah, I only really see him as a finisher at this stage, although he did play a good innings in the first ODI under pressure.

I see him as a number five who has an awful amount of pressure on him because as a new man he's still expected to score well consistently because the side is injury depleted and in this instance, the top order has been crap. He needs more games and a quality unit around him so he can develop. He's not really ODI class quite yet, he has the ability but needs some time. Not everyone is Martin Guptill sadly (and even he is one I would put in the same boat as Guptill).

At least 30 short. Defendable but not what we want.

I'm staying as long as Taylor is in.

The bowlers need a blinder again. Stacked batting has failed (well stacked batting is debateable when there are two newbies and a journeyman in it).

 

[Johnners]

Wish Ponting still fielded at Point on a permanent basis, so good.

 

[Zinzan]

Mills, Broom & Cumming 7 off 1000000000000000000000 balls between them

 

[Flem274*]

Batting PP, here we go.

 

[Zinzan]

Would rather Mills had taken a single rather than 2 that first ball of the PP tbh

Aussie fielding in this game has been awesome.

With the notable exception of Hilfenhaus to be fair, very ungainly

 

[Son Of Coco]

Question with regards to Haddin. I've always been under the impression that all that matters is that you take the ball behind the stumps.

Is it a no-ball as soon as his gloves go in front of the stumps, or is it only if he takes the ball in front of the stumps?

I have no idea, but it's an interesting question...
