I went to the game at the stadium. Shaun Tait was outstanding in his opening spell. The crowd gave it to Tait on the sideline pretty good. He didn't care.
Watson got chirpy with Franklin at one point which the crowd didn't like and started chanting Watto is a wanker. He got the last laugh by taking a wicket with his next ball.
The only two australian bowlers we hit around were Hussey and Christian. I didn't care for Christian's bowling action. It looked awkward.
Warner tried to hit bond out of the attack. And looked like succeeding for a while.
Ingram's dismissal was the most dissapointing of the evening. Didn't move his feet.

Why is that disappointing? Ingram's game is built around not moving his feet.

Feel pretty ripped off with that game. Cost me $40 to get in, was sure it was around $25 just a couple of years ago. Anyway, we were crap. Really, really bad. Didn't look to me like the Australian bowling was that great - we just couldn't hit a thing. Tuffey's, Oram's and McCullum's bowling was all poor too, and to cap it off our fielding was bad. Really disappointed, hope it's not a sign of things to come.
Oh, and our selection really ****s me off.

Prebookings were $20 for students and $30 otherwise.
Tuffeh, Oram and NcCullum were shockers though. Couldn't believe the line NcCullum was tossing them into was just asking to be hit most of the time.
Bond and Vettori showed how much better they were than the other mere mortals though.

Sorry for going slightly off topic but at least there was a student option for the Twenty20 at Wellington, at North Harbour Stadium for the Blues game in the opening round of the Super14 it was either adult or child with no student option (although the adult price of $20 for the stand I was in was hardly unreasonable). Given Massey Albany's university campus is within walking distance I found that to be a bit unusual.

I can't believe I ate the whole thing
Because we don't have it at domestic level, and those who are aren't consistent or fit enough to keep testing batsmen so they get better.
Though I don't think the actual pace of the ball was the hindering factor; moreso, the hype and fear surrounding it.

Only because in test matches Bond has been thrashed by Ponting, Bond must have nightmares about Ponting.
Bond has never managed to get Pontings wicket in a test match and Ponting has a strike rate over a 100 against Bond in test matches.
But I suppose Bond was never any good in test matches.

He played two test matches against Australia ffs, and one of them was on a road where 5 or 6 100's were hit. Not to mention it was his first test series.
All that matters is that Ponting averaged about 10 in one day cricket when Bond was in the opposing team.

You dont know what you are talking about. Learn how to find out facts before you post.

Ponting has never played in a test match with Bnd where there has been 5 or 6 hundreds have been hit so thats lie number one.
Ponting did play in a test match where there were two hundreds scored but one of them was Pontings 157 where he smashed Bond repeatedly out of the attack.
Ponting averages over 100 in test matches involving Bond.

Howsie I'm going to let you post Pontings average in ODI's in matches involving Bond, but somehow I dont think you will be making any more posts in this thread for a while at least.

cricket study
Hi,
I am currently doing my final year project at university. The study is about atmosphere and the difference in atmosphere between sports. I need some people to participate in the study who are good cricket fans. It has recieved all ethical approval needed and only takes about 5 minutes to do, as it is a couple of questionaires. If you would like to do it please follow/use the link below:
Atmosphere at Sporting Events Survey
Thanks.
btw watto is a wanker
