Mussey you ****ing beauty....

What a catch by Hussey!

Australia had it written it seems...good run outs...poor strokes from Kiwis and now this amazing catch!

 

[_Ed_]

What a catch!

I just can't say enough how completely bonkers this batting display has been

I'm ashamed atm

Guptill is a wicket waiting to happen with his approach atm and I have no faith in Vettori's batting when the heat is on

Prove me wrong boys

Terrible stuff from Mills, did absolutely nothing, and wasted 8 balls,

The Aussies have been spanked all season because of their inability to take wickets against the Saffies. It ain't exactly a genius conclusion to come to that picking a guy not taking wickets at the top level wouldn't be a great idea. Don't see the problem and that he's barely been mentioned as a serious Test prospect says something. And before you say it, I highly doubt it's because of his bowling against India 4 years ago.

In all of this, it's imporant to remember that Bracken is a different bowler in First Class Cricket. As an avid follower of State Cricket and as a smart bloke when it comes to cricket in general, I thought you'd understand that. I understand what you mean though. Guess we each view him in a different light. . I won't continue this here.

Siddle/Husseyyyyyyyyyyy!

 

[Craig]

Well at least Guptill is playing well.

 

[Precambrian]

wow, stupid

We still have enough wickets in hand to tick off 6.5-7 an over

Mills looks terrible though

What do you say now?

Mills hung around doing nothing.

NZ will do well to hit out rather than trying to take things to the 20th over without winning.

 

[kingkallis]

Someone need to stay there and provide some support to Guptill, he is playing really good cricket!

Thats the time when you miss quality players like Styris, Oram!

 

[thierry henry]

It's a discussion. There's no winner/loser.

Thanks for explaining

I thought it was useful actually, bit of a calming influence.

 

[MendisNuffSaid]

I'm glad i'm not a NZ supporter!

 

[Craig]

Johnson is almost a cert to bowl a wide or two an over.

Siddle/Husseyyyyyyyyyyy!

Haven't rated him since he took 7/4 against SA, tbh.

Aus not out out of the woods yet but NZ are in deep poo. All hopes pinned on Guptil.

Thanks for explaining

Haha massive apologies. Thought you were inbox, in which case I thought it needed explaining.

ummm, no, Mills got out playing a stupid aerial shot just like the batsmen before him

 

[MendisNuffSaid]

What a massive choke this is, Fulton and Taylor handed their wickets on a silver plate. Maybe this would bring a smile to those affected by the terrible bushfires.

 

[inbox24]

I reckon NZ are still favourites, we still need to get Southee/Guptill/Diamanti.

 

[Prince EWS]

I'm glad i'm not a NZ supporter!

Wow, I always thought you were.

Was enjoying the dot balls tbh
