STJ (Sanath Teran Jayasuriya)

 

[BlackCap_Fan]

Now, onto the match between England and New Zealand....

 

[pup11]

Yup i forgot about jayasuriya, anyways ponting is gone huss comes in.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

I don't think only scoring single for half an hour was a pre-meditated thing for hodge, more a result of his nerves at this surely being his last of many chances.

I don't think he went out and said "I'll get nothing but singles for 40 balls", but he certainly made a concious effort to play himself in before playing any risky shots, and did so with full awareness of the required rate. As soon as it was needed, he increased the rate.

Haha

Mirza is awestruck. "Australia isn't just a mere cricket team, it is an ever-evolving, totipotent genetically-engineered cyborg, slowly devouring all who dare to stand up to it, in an orgy of willow-encrusted destruction."

 

[BoyBrumby]

Great catch from Vincent, but it does bring Mr Cricket in.

Hodge deserves a ton here, but think the chase is still too tight for them to manipulate one for him.

 

[BlackCap_Fan]

46.1 Gillespie to Ponting, OUT, caught in the deep! Ponting slams it down the ground to long-off, he hit that right out of the screws, Vincent sprinted in from the fence, dived forward and took an excellent low catch
RT Ponting c Vincent b Gillespie 104 (113b 6x4 1x6) SR: 92.03

Consolation wicket. Awfully kind of Punter to do that.

 

[pup11]

YEAH hodgey comeon, just 13 left for his century.

 

[JBH001]

Hodge might get out too. Usually after a big partnership, when one leaves, so does the other.
(Unlikely here though)

 

[Demolition Man]

Great catch from Vincent, but it does bring Mr Cricket in.

Hodge deserves a ton here, but think the chase is still too tight for them to manipulate one for him.

With Mr Cricket anything is possible.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Oram to bowl. Big shout from Fleming.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

19 off 18
Easy for Australia, but a couple more wickets and there might be a tight finish

 

[pup11]

Huss would be feeling a bit weird today he has come in and there is not too much pressure on him, though i could still be tight but its highly unlikely.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Hmm. Hussey puts the full toss away.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Hussey's out here.

Two failures in a row. Average for the series down to a human sub-60 level. Career average under 75 too.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Hussey RUN OUT!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Demolition Man]

Oh your kidding. Well yet another reason why I dislike Brad Hodge

 

[_Ed_]

Haha the commentators are great, "it's not over!". Yeah right.

 

[pup11]

huss gone poor calling from hodgey maybe the century is on his mind.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Yep. Long way out. Big horlicks. Great throw from Vincent too.

See what White's made of now. Two vics at crease.
