Jeez, this match couldn't get any tenser, eh? And Cricinfo couldn't get any less reliable.....

I hope for the sake of drama that this isn't out

[MoxPearl]

****KKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

im going to cry now

 

[andyc]

Australia win! Another run out!

 

[Barney Rubble]

Real shame for NZ, great fightback by the lower order. A classic ODI. Terrific match.

 

[James90]

Two runs outs in the last over. Not the best way to end it but Clarke's was simply brilliant.

 

[Natman20]

Brilliant match I really thought NZ was in the box seat that last over but it just didn't happen. Great return from being all out 4 105

 

[_Ed_]

Well played Australia. What a game.

Good stuff NZ, tried their best and went so close. McCullum's a hero, Vincent and Cairns too.

 

[Natman20]

Will certainly go down in my books as one of the greatest ODIs ever. Loving it

Pretty good match...NZ did very well to even challenge the total, but Australia played well enough (and NZ bowled poorly enough) to deserve the win.
Not surprised to see Ponting upto his usual tricks....

********.


What a match. 640 odd runs altogether. It's good to see that NZ are actually challenging Australia, unlike in the 5-0 odi series not long ago.

I feel sorry for Mccullum. All that, then losing. Great innings from Vincent.

 

[Gideon]

Great game. Brilliant run out by Clarkey when needed.

 

[Natman20]

Lost the series but I dont care as long as we were competitive at least. (in one match anyway)

If we lose at Christchurch then the 2 series will be exactly the same. Whitewashes where we should have won 1 game, but choked at the end (Wellington both times).

I was panicking just as much as the players, but really, Mills hit the ball straight back to the bowler and ran, when he would have only needed 2 off the last ball to tie the game. A crazy piece of cricket.

 

[James90]

New Zealand deserved it more IMO. Would have been in greater match if they'd chased down that massive total after the battering they got in Auckland. Would have been great to be at the ground.

I wish Vincent went on.
