*Official* Australia in New Zealand

[Spark]

Damn NZ and their third opening batter called "Extras"

 

[Zinzan]

Great start Australia, NZ look like deer in headlights

Has Ponting won the toss 5 out of 5 now?

We are two done for sweet **** all - thank goodness for those extras.

Also why take that stink single that ran Guptil out. There was never a run there.

Is usually the case in a run-out isn't it?

 

[Spark]

Mitch should enjoy bowling on this one. Bouncier than any of the other NZ pitches I've seen so far.

 

[Streetwise]

Only 6 overs in and Australia have already won.

Definitely hot favorites, but cricket can be a funny game

Stewart is in - I have only seen him bat once in a 20/20 game and he threw his wicket away that day by trying to score a boundary when the other batsman was going great guns and all he needed to do was get a single. I like his record though for some NZ A games. I hope he does well.

Yeah. Learnt that lesson in 08-09...

 

[Hurricane]

We suck at batting first. Stewart gone. We should be setting our sites on 250 at best. That will be an excellent batting effort from here.

 

[Zinzan]

Classic left-armers dismissal that, always likely to get you a wicket Johnson, looks like we'll be bowled out within 50 overs again

 

[Hurricane]

Glad I didn't go to the game now.

 

[Hurricane]

Part of me thinks we should go for broke and not worry about the fact we are 3 down. The sensible part of me knows that we don't want to get blown out and 240-250 is all we can manage from here.

Kane Williamson for the test team anyone? 107*, 70, 108*, 77, 81, 84, 69, 92 170, 6* and currently 114* is how his last 11 out of 12 innings have looked.

 

[Athlai]

He has been very very impressive.

 

[Spark]

Oh wow. The commentators are lost for words, and so am I.

What the bloody hell was that?!

 

[Dydl]

Geez, that was a dismal shot.

 

[Zinzan]

Taylor's greatest enemy is his own mind alright

 

[inbox24]

MegaWatts!

Handy ODI bowler, really shouldn't need Hopes in the team.

 

[Athlai]

This is why ODI series should be only 3 matches long.

Ponting winning 5 tosses ****s me off to no end.
