2nd T20I: New Zealand v Australia at Christchurch, Feb 28 2010

[aussies1st]

Smith picks up a wicket now, well deserved after a good first over.

Another one goes really really cheap again leaving Baz totally stranded for goodness sake!! NZ four wickets down now

 

[byrne_rovelli_fan82]

Why..why again are we batting first? What is wrong with Dan?!?!?!?! Isn't it obvious we are not 1st innings batsmen ever?!?!?!?!?!

NZ 84/4

 

[Bazal]

I can't believe how small these grounds are...I always remember them as tiny and think I must be exaggerating, but then I see them and I'm really not. Build a real ground ffs, I've played park cricket on bigger fields.

I really can't see the point of having Christian in the side TBH. I'd much prefer to have the 4 quicks in the team. Also Hopes is a much better all rounder than Christian anyway.

 

[Bazal]

Jeez...that LBW was pretty plumb

 

[byrne_rovelli_fan82]

Whew that was close

 

[aussies1st]

With that evens it up.

 

[beads6]

Aussies could be chasing a big score if Oram and McCullum keep going for 7 overs. They are looking at 170 i reckon

 

[aussies1st]

Christian is just too hittable atm, needs to talk with Watson.

 

[Bazal]

Those last two sixes would have been down deep squares throat on a cricket field...on the plus side, can't wait to see Warner hitting to a 50m boundary

Not just Warner the rest of the team will mis-hit 6's!!!

Lol Hopkins out hit stumps

 

[eddiesmith]

I suppose Haddin deliberately got out of the way of a simple caught behind because he wanted McCullum to stick around and make a match of it

 

[Bazal]

HAHAHAHAHA Hopkins, what a mong, steps on his stumps. They breed em smart in NZ :lol:

200+ is needed on this pitch.

Do you ever talk sense? Wait...best not to answer that, it would involve more talking

 

[aussies1st]

Shocking bowling by Nannes, might have to rethink the 3 prong pacemen at this rate.

 

[beads6]

McCullum is looking at a 100 here... the Kiwis shoudl make 200 surely.

 

[Bazal]

Jeez I hope Tait smashes McCullum in the face when he tries that little scoop again...
