***Official*** New Zealand in Australia 2011

[Zinzan]

wow, Clarke finally plays & misses

 

[Athlai]

Martin officially into "big heart" territory.

 

[Zinzan]

What a shot Haddin!!!!

 

[straw man]

That may have looked like a pie, but was still a risky shot from Haddin

 

[Briony]

It's a wonder that we are still even remotely in this match given the number of basic errors. The game would look so different with Clarke out.

Well the test against Zim. showed where NZ is placed atm. Surely not one of their stronger teams.

 

[SilentOne]

is southee injured?

Bracewell is in BeastMode.
Martin has the most "experience".

 

[SteveNZ]

Tell you what not many would have caught that. It came on very very fast.

This, to an extent. Jess has very good reflexes but was late on that. A very sharp chance but one you have to take if you want to compete

 

[Zinzan]

only 15 behind now ....and only another 115 runs for the 150 partnership

Yet if we had a few more basics right, we would be right in this match. It's not like there is a gulf in ability between NZ and most of the other top sides - it's the basics and mental part of the game that let us down.

Ummm...I think there actually is quite a large gulf between New Zealand and the top sides.

 

[Spark]

Well it sure ain't boring atm.

 

[Zinzan]

[Zinzan]

Shot again., this is murder !

So wait - you're saying we're NOT the scrappy underdogs who punch above their weight? The **** is this?

 

[Spikey]

[Flem274*]

Haddin is such a ****.

 

[Spark]

Who has the better straight drive, Clarke or Haddin?
