The first 70-odd was good, the last 25 looked like he was trying to ease his way to 100.

 

[eddiesmith]

why are they calling this pitch 'slow'...

anytime australia cant make 280+ in an ODI they start talking about how 'slow' the pitch is...

then usually if the team chasing starts making it look easy they start saying its 'two paced'... :roll:

Dont know, the cricinfo preview was calling it slow and 2 paced after the last match where Victoria cleaned up SA, but that was more due to a firey spell of pace bowling as it was very quick

Seems to be the favourite call whenever a team fails to make a big score is blame the pitch

Yeah I agree. I thought that the Hussey/Clarke partnership was poor as well.

tiredness i'd say

both he and Hussey looked knackered. hot day in Melbourne

 

[aussies1st]

The so called hitter ain't doing much better than the tired Hussey/Clarke.

 

[shiznit]

this australian batting performance in someways is worse than in perth... they just haven't shown another gear...

 

[aussies1st]

Nothing will match our efforts there that was truely shocking. Here we just lacked that big hitter probably a Symonds at 5.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

white did nothing that hussey would have done

need symonds badly

i think our bowling performance is better than last week.... when you consider Clarke & Hussey got in and batted well... i was expecting something 250+ with those guys going well...

 

[El Diablo]

did anyone expect White to do anything?

he's f**kin' useless

 

[eddiesmith]

But Symonds is in worse form than White, in previous years White would have got 30* from that long at the crease, just having a bad year

Well we will know more when NZ bat, if it is as slow as the commentators say then the Kiwis will also struggle to up the tempo.
