Yes, 206 is less than 222.

They had the Camera on them for a bit.Ponting looked out at sea and Clarke was doing all the animated talking.

ITSTL. Unsurprising, but very interesting.

Between Australia's struggles with the tail in the last few years, and New Zealand's strong lower order/tail, I don't think this is over at all.

You know it.

And what's with all the Bennett hate? Why does everyone hate his action? Open-chested ftw, He's going in the sig, haters can suck it.

Shiz, if we had been able to squeeze another 20 runs out we would have a slim chance. Australia should cake walk this though tbh.

 

[Prince EWS]

You know it.

I don't hate his action; I just think he's pretty crap and that it's a joke he's playing ahead of Mills.

oops. I meant against SA

ICC should have a 'awful code'.That way we will see the back of Sohail Tanvir and Benett forever

On a serious note,Benett was always going to play ahead of Mills after the Kenya match.

 

[Turbinator]

Australian win by 6 wickets. Good call or bad?

Who else has an action you don't like?

Jamie How played ahead of Mills tbh. Bennett has taken 18 wickets @ 17 and deserves his chance. Even if he gets tonked all over the field you can't blame the selectors for taking a chance on him when the rest of the team is so average.

Eleven blokes played ahead of Mills today.

 

[Nate]

Would have played Mills over Southee.

On current form NcCullum and Mills should be batting 7 and 8. The How selection gave us terrible balance.

Quite like Bennett's action, love the massive leap.

 

[Prad100w]

NZ lower order can be trusted more than the top order. Mccullum plays once in a while. Guptill : 30's specialist , Taylor can't play at all. Ryder : Just can't trust, How : should be playing for school team.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

The NZ dibbly dobblies and loopie doopies need to perform out of their skin here if this isn't to be a cakewalk for the Aussies. Lets hope they get a few early wickets to at least make it a half decent game.

 

[Himannv]

Guptill : 30's specialist

20 short today. Poor.

 

[Flem274*]

Promising start.

 

[BoyBrumby]

And the pacemen finish it off. Can only assume Ponting wanted to give the spinners some time in the middle.

Good to see you extend Christian charity even to dire captaincy.

Bit of seam movement for Southee when he's not bouncing them down leg.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Haddin's back foot prods are things of coach's nightmares.

Pity he's got such a damn good eye.
