***Official*** Australia in New Zealand

Words can not express my hatred at Channel 9 for not showing this game.

Does anyone else think that Andre Adams may get a go for the next ODI over Franklin ?

 

[sportychic33]

not likely, adams is injured with a borken finger or something like that.
oram's bowling isn't quite there yet, he was unlucky with a couple of fielding chances. his first three overs were promising but the next 4 went for 43 runs although it is tricky trying to bowl at eden park where the field is such an unusual shape.

Your being a tad generous on Oram. I take it he's a favourite of yours.

The fact remains that his bowling today (and since his comeback for that matter) has been utterly awful.

Hussey's average now up to 128.75 thanks to that 21 not out

It's taken you that long to click on to that fact . His first three overs honestly weren't that bad, it was 3overs for 9 runs, and then admittingly it went down hill from there, more practice is desperately needed to get used to this new bowling action. hopefully he can perform with the bat if he is required because its about time he did.

NZ have started badly. 1/6 off 2.

 

[Gideon]

16/2 now.

 

[Blaze]

16/2 now.

20/4



Bracewell has to go. He has the wrong vision for this team. James Marshall has never ever looked like a international class batsman. Peter Fulton anyone?

 

[ClownSymonds]

Hodge is worthless. I don't understand why they feel a need to have him in the team instead of someone like Bevan or Lehmann. Vettori did a good job, but there aren't good enough bowlers backing him up. It's sad to see New Zealand not making Australia pay for playing a second-rate team and resting McGrath.

 

[Blaze]

Someone tell Oram and Vincent that this isnt 20/20 so they can do away with the 80s hair-styles.

Lol you Aussies can't talk about hair. Look at Bracken.


This is seriously a joke. NZ has big problems long term IMO.

Lol we are missing our best two players.

 

[ClownSymonds]

Lol we are missing our best two players.

Vettori is your best player. Fleming is your third best, and Bond is your fourth. Your second is McMillan, as evidenced by his appeal in the last Test series against Pakistan.

 

[Blaze]

Hmm 5 down.

 

[James]

Hopefully this will finally tell the selectors that Hamish and James Marshall need to return to domestic cricket....

James Marshall should never have been in the team.

 

[Blaze]

Nothing is going our way. Right out of the middle but straight to the fielder.

 

[James]

Couldn't agree more Blaze and Hamish has been off the pace for too long now. His past 10 ODIs:

23, 28, 9, 7, 8, 3, 16, 7, 3, 5. [10.90]

We have to start considering the likes of Fulton, Papps or even Sinclair again.

 

[Right arm fast]

i call for craig cumming!

 

[Blaze]

FULTON!!!!!!

Bracewell HAS TO GO! Think about it - He took over when we were third in the world in tests now we are 8th, he had success in the ODI's but now that has turned around as well and we are just playing really really bad cricket.

NZ cricket is in poor, poor shape.
