Great match to watch!
Any idea when they first introduced the super over?

The first one was a NZ v WI game here a couple of years back. Chris Gayle put on quite a display IIRC.

Yeah I remember, just wondering why they decided to start using it.

Superior to the bowl out.

I'd say if he went out in Christchurch tonight, he'd have plenty of offers from girls wanting practice with him...

Haha! True that. Those three overs were almost orgasmic though. Its weird, because just before he came on after Bond got belted, I was telling a mate that bowlers dont seem to use yorker length or close to balls as much as they used to - it was way more frequent in the 90s for instance. But Southee shows up and bowls 18 balls which were a mix of straight and full and yorker length, and more to the point, held his nerve. Hope its a bit of a turning point for him.
Was the best quick bowler in the HRV cup and he showed he could do the same at the international level, quality stuff.

Absolutely. Proved me wrong in that department.
Was **** with the gloves though. I'll never accept having the best keeper in NZ playing and not keeping.

What a game of Twenty20 cricket. Just how this form of the game should be played showing up the good bowlers from the not so good bowlers, and a pitch that allows the batsmen to play freely.
Should be a wonderful one-day series.

Definitely, done enough in these two games to keep McGlashan out for a while now you'd have to say.

Fantastic game despite the result. Tait's last over was pretty ordinary after the Aussies batted so well to get where they did. Clarke was exceptional, as was White.
Gotta say, though, I hate the size of these fields. I know there's not much that can be done about it, but you had ****ing top edges flying into the second tier.

Short boundaries, a batting paradise pitch. That's what Twenty20 is all about I tend to think. Most people I would say go to the ground hoping to see heaps of sixes and fours and big scores and not a 130-8 off 20 overs.

Tbf Tait, Nannes, Haddin and McCullum seemed to be having a giggle all NZ inningss. Haven't ever seen bowlers get smashed like that and laugh about it before.Just reading the bulletin on cricinfo. Apparently, I've missed this when watching:
