***Official*** Australia in New Zealand

[ClownSymonds]

Qualification: 20 innings

If Hussey gets 6 ducks in his next 6 innings he'll still slot in at #2

Those ICC/African XI things really do make the page look messy.

Yeah, I hate the ICC for making those matches official, among other things.

I really hope Hussey keeps his average above 100, at least until he qualifies.

on cricinfo Lee is listed to come in ahead of Hogg - wonder if that will actually happen

No need to find out.

Wonderful innings by Symonds, amazing stuff. Mills went from 2-24 from 8 to 2-60 from 10!

Can't say I'm not disappointed though, after such a good start we should have been chasing less than 260. But that's what a superb knock like that (and superb partnership in fact) does. Well played Symonds & Clarke.

323 to win...good luck guys

Good luck indeed. I doubt they'll get any, though - England used almost all of it up in the Ashes, and the rest in the series against Pakistan.

what was the challenge?

 

[NZTailender]

what was the challenge?

If Vincent or Astle didn't get a 50 this series I'd have leading wicket taker/scorer from Australia as my avatar...

 

[NZTailender]

Damn...

 

[The Maestro]

Jesus Christ!.............I only just got home from work and I knew NZ had been batting for awhile but didnt know the score.

Turned my TV on and the first thing I see is Franklin with a bat in his hand I dead set nearly lost my lunch and angry swearing loomed

Then I see NZ is 80-0




Why is Franklin the runner anyway? I would have thought a Marshall? I know they are in next but wouldnt that be good for a sighter anyway?

 

[MoxPearl]
