***Official*** VB Series 2006

[Arrow]

You just know Australia will fight to 200 and end up winning this.

 

[Jono]

You can't not respect Brett Lee after this knock. He's play beautifully. Officially an allrounder now when he can do this. If he fell early Hopes would have to come in and Australia would have lost a bowler.

And Hussey, well he's a freak of nature.

 

[tadeusz]

Record 7th wicket partnership for Australia in ODIs

 

[aussie]

well it seems as if Hussey has come to fore again for Australia & what a crazy over this last over has been so far

 

[aussie]

so 229 win with Australia bowling attack its game on for sure...

 

[Gideon]

Pretty competitive total in the end. Hussey once again proved how go he is under pressure and Lee was great aswell. Both seemed gone around the 40 over mark but hung in there.

I wonder how much petrol Lee has left, after all he still has to bowl 10 overs hopefully.

It's been an entertaining game aswell, that last 10 overs was frantic. Can't help but laugh at the Kemp not catching 2 balls in a row.

 

[aussie]

no swing in the 1st over not good. Hopefully Lee can crack up his pace soon with this small total Australia need Bing charging in.

 

[Blaze]

I am stoked, finally the possibility of a close game.

 

[Linda]

How is Brett Lee bowling?! Something in his Gatorade...

How is Brett Lee bowling?! Something in his Gatorade...

He looked gone totally at the end of his innings. Seems weird that not 6 months ago certain Antipodean posters were questioning his heart too....

 

[Gideon]

wow, what a run out by Symonds to get rid of Kallis

 

[Blaze]

SA have to win this for the series's sake. if they don't Australia will win all of their 10 games IMO.

 

[Jono]

Oh my Kallis run out by a brilliant throw from Symonds. Wow.

 

[Linda]

Exactly. Unbelievable.

Symonds throw was legendary

 

[BoyBrumby]

Top bit of work. Suicidal call from Dippenaar tho.

That's now two first-ballers to players in my Fantasy team....

 

[Jono]

Kallis was a risky selection considering of his injury woes and the doubt over some of his games in the VB Series. That's why I swapped him for Smith, not that he did much better. Took a catch though.

I'm all out of SA batsman, but Pollock is my allrounder so hopefully he gets some runs to add to his wickets. Bracken and Lee for the wickets

 

[BoyBrumby]

Great bit of work from Martyn there, but McGrath nearly trod on the ball when he flicked it back! Nearly shades of Edgbaston!

 

[andyc]

Incredible stuff there from Hussey and Lee

Gibbs caught by Martyn off Bracken, SA three down.

 

[Gideon]

Hmm i would of substituted Hussey instead of Martyn. Hussey needs a rest imo.

 

[Jono]

Hussey dropped a catch? My God he's actually human.
