2009 NZ tour to AUS - ODIs and Twenty20s

[HypoThesis]

We'll have to wait a few days to see, maybe they tampered with the ball, or bribed the NZ caterers to poison their food or...

Suzie emigrated to Aus.

 

[Devill]

The Aussie got the win and this thread suddenly died.

And they didn't even have to cheat this time.

Lol, lucky for all us aussie haters the Kiwis only have to win one of the last two games

 

[chiskop]

But two would be better.

 

[Flanders]

I must admit it would tickle me pink to see some upside down smiles on the faces of the Auzzies at the end of this series. And then play them here.

 

[Devill]

But two would be better.

Yeah back to back 41 losses against us and then NZ would be a nice way for Aus to start 2009

 

[rwenzori]

NZ 145/5 after 37.

 

[HypoThesis]

The Kiwis are playing kark cricket today.
Come to think of it...I can't remember EVER seeing the Black Caps getting over 300 in an ODI...

 

[R13...]

NZ 208/6(46.3) | RR: 4.47
Taylor* 71(68), Mills 11(17)
Last 2 overs : 1Wd . 4 4 3 4 . | 2 . 2

they may still get to 270 which would be defendable...

 

[HypoThesis]

2 overs to go. Current score 227/7
1 over is a powerplay over.

I reckon 250 would be par. Mills and Taylor did brilliantly.

 

[rwenzori]

244/8 - quite a good recovery. If they can get a few early Oz wickets they're in the game!

 

[Picard]

O'Brien to Clarke, OUT, and the bowling change works! O'Brein bowls one on the off stump. Clarke, drives it on the up and ends up spooning an easy catch to Fulton at short cover. Fulton, has been an exceptional fielder close-in

Aus 29/1 after 6

 

[HypoThesis]

Come on Kiwis!

 

[Devill]

Aus 29/1 after 6

Nice but I think they will need another 3 wickets before the 25th over for a win.

GOOOOO NZ!

 

[killadoob]

Need ponting out early i reckon or they lose.

Your wish is their command:

RT Ponting c Guptill b Southee 15 (37m 27b 2x4 0x6) SR: 55.55

Your wish is their command:

RT Ponting c Guptill b Southee 15 (37m 27b 2x4 0x6) SR: 55.55

Southee to Ponting, OUT, and for the umpteenth time this summer we see Ponting top-edging a pull shot. Only difference this time being he does it to the cover fielder as Guptill takes it comfortably. Ever heard of a strength turning into a weakness

Woooot

Now another before the next 5 overs are up and they are in with a solid chance imo

 

[AirWolf]

24.3 Elliott to DJ Hussey, 1 run, OUT
BJ Haddin run out 43 (101m 67b 5x4 1x6) SR: 64.17

101/3 after 25 overs.

 

[Devill]

101/3 after 24.5 overs.

Looks like its going to be a tight game.

Can still go either way.

NZ will have to bowl out the Aussies. Even though the Aussie won the last match, their batting is still shaky (they were 9 down).

131/3 at the moment, with the Hussey bros at the wicket.

 

[jvk]

batting powerplay hasn't been taken yet! so i think NZ is gonna have to take some quick wickets now if they want to win this game!
