**Official** New Zealand in Australia

[Precambrian]

15 overs to go.

9 of them will be shared between Bracken, Johnners and Hopes.

NZ will have to go for a slog in the remaining 6 (Hilfenhaus looked so far unimpressive, but has 5 overs in his kitty)

We have a powerplay.

Poor stuff from Hilfy, and for a change i agree with the commentators, when Hilfy is getting that shape outside off, why the hell is he trying to do so many things.

 

[Precambrian]

As expected Clarke willing to give Hilfy a go. And promptly rubbish.

 

[pup11]

I saw it and it looked like a pretty good stroke.

If he would have got all of it, he would have placed and timed it a lot better imo.

Batting PP still to come. NZ can keep on going at 4 an over until the 40th over and then they only need 60 off the last 10 with PP in hand.

C9 commentators are going a bit OTT regarding, pressure and a need to up the rate, when they are still ahead of Australia at the same point, and Australia didn't do much in the last 10.

NZ still on top, but wickets will bring it back to Australia, especially if it's Taylor.

Big moment.

 

[Alysum]

ooooo Dropped by his BROTHER !

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Big drop there, that would've put Aussie in front, instead it goes for 4.

 

[pup11]

Muss dropping a catch of Duss' bowling... *shocker*

Haha yeah I'm backing Broom/Mills/Vettori and Southee to all be more than handy if we're chasing 60 from 10.

Hell even Jeets and O'Brien are handy at hitting runs in the last over or two. (Both getting a six off the last ball recently)

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

and 4 wides, still PP to be taken.

Here's a platter, NZ. It has chicken and fish and shrimp and tea cakes and an ODI victory and the next tray has wine.

Enjoy.

 

[Athlai]

There's Taylors mandatory lowered FC average in a big knock.

 

[Craig]

I would take the batting PP now.

 

[pup11]

Would someone tell me why is Dussey bowling now, hasn't the quota overs of 5th bowler been already completly.

 

[Precambrian]

5 wides to follow that drop. :sigh:

Expected a good contest after all the happenings, but am mistaken.
