Not Terrible
If Elliott had gotten out earlier, Franklin and Nathan McCullum are guys who can hit a ****ing boundary.

So annoyed.

Looks like Portuguese's inclusion paid off, he scored the winning margin.

THAT'S TO ALL YEW HATORS OUT THERE.

Yes, that's fine. But look at his shot selection - Bracken was always going to take the pace off, and it was going to hold up off the pitch. Yet, he's trying to pull every ball.

Gutted for Nath - great effort to bang the last couple, but he was stymied by weak-as-piss batting from Elliott and Fulton above him. And braindead **** from Broom.

Tidy bowling effort from Australia but ****, did we throw away a good position.

I'm not even referring to the last over. The Hilfenhaus over was criminal.

EDIT: Dot balls are the enemy in Twenty20 cricket, and he faced way too many of them. It's what he did in between the boundaries that made his innings so bad.

End of the best summer of cricket I have ever seen. Two awesome opposition, no off-field **** (which would have been endless had we been playing india for example) and nailbitingly close games and series.

Awesome for a cricket fan.

You said Australia needed 200 as a minimum and that Guptil would score iirc. Nice.

Wish some new Australian posters would show a hint of class. :(

Great having you here Kiwis. :) You were fantastic. Cheers to the standout Kiwi posters on here, really insightful. :thumbsup:

So the other great knocks he played this season showed what exactly? Unfair.

Don't think it was necessarily a temperament thing. Just took the wrong way about it. His job was to get McCullum on strike, and every time he got a dot ball he tried to make up for it with a boundary.

Sure was, with all those wickets in the hand and the batsman we had to come, Fulton really cost us big time there.

Well done Bracken though - all class.

Nathan McCullum has moved ahead of Jeetan Patel now though I'd have to say.
