[slugger]

[Jayzamann]

3/1 since drinks!

 

[tooextracool]

Wow, what is going on here? I didnt give NZ a hope at the start of this game but this is just pathetic. Might as well have not shown up.

-Mills left out
-How batting seven ahead of Oram
-Three soft wickets

 

[vcs]

Australia have bowled quite well bar Tait IMO. Shame everyone else seems to be picking up the wickets Lee deserved.

 

[Prince EWS]

Gorrrrn!


Shame, because Styris is a good bloke.

Yeah, for someone with two such debilitating handicaps (being born in Queensland and growing up in New Zealand) he definitely goes okay.

 

[Nate]

Pitiful from New Zealand.

Let's go How!

 

[smash84]

lol @ NZ...........playing Kenya-esque atm

 

[robinjr]

this no ball recheck thing is bull imo

 

[BeeGee]

That's why I want NZ to bowl first.
Even if Aus get a big total batting first, NZ still has a chance. If NZ bat first and end up 50/5 it's game over, and what could be a great game will end up as a one sided bore fest.

...and there we have it.

 

[tooextracool]

There is such a thing as a bowler less deserving than Johnson with regards to taking wickets. His name is Shaun Tait.

Lets play the Jamie How Limited Overs Prediction Game.

How: 12 (36)

What's yours?

 

[benchmark00]

Lucky they selected How at 7, otherwise they'd be in trouble.

 

[straw man]

$%&*ing hell. Gone for ten minutes and this happens.

No surprises with lack of ability to play fast bowling, bar perhaps Ryder and McCullum who can chance it and get away with that sometimes. Franklin especially is in that middle order because he scored runs against spinners in India while no-one else did, but he's not good against real pace. Stupid shot from Styris.

So now we have Taylor, who is completely out of form, and How who is in the team for god knows what reason, to try to post a decent score.

 

[Mike5181]

We are relying on the two most out of form NZ batsmen in the last year. Ross Taylor and Jamie How.

 

[Prince EWS]

Lucky they selected How at 7, otherwise they'd be in trouble.

Yeah, guess they figured they'd need an opener at seven to play out the new ball.

 

[straw man]

Lets play the Jamie How Limited Overs Prediction Game.

How: 12 (36)

What's yours?

You are far too optimistic.

Vettori to score 115*

 

[Mike5181]

lets play the jamie how limited overs prediction game.

How: 12 (36)

what's yours?

29 (38)

 

[Flem274*]

Come on you **** ****s, get to 200. This pitch is dire. If we weren't 68/5, the bowlers would be stoked to bowl last on this.
