We did well on a couple of slow wickets with our slow bowling, but this pitch looks really good, trouble.

this would nearly have to be the best opening stand for a very long time

Back onto a cricket subject. Apparently its not just the Aussie blokes team facing a must win situation. Its the same story for the women too who are playing a series in New Zealand.

Agreed, which is why it was such a stupid decision to field.

probley off sulking :lol:

 

[Dutchy]

Takes the blue baggers to get this team going in the right direction.

Very impressed with Haddin, I would leave him as opener as he is so much more effective than 7. And Clarke again going well at opener, he too looks more effective there compared to 4.

 

[attila_the_gorilla]

This is gonna be a massive routing, especially with McCullum injured, we`re no show.

I agree on both points, the worry is what happens when Shaun Marsh comes back, I think he's done a very good job opening and it seems harsh that he mightn't get another go for a while.

 

[gong_eagle]

Congrats Brad Haddin 1000 ODi runs

 

[aussies1st]

Marsh could go to 4, Clarke seemed to stall the inns at 4 in the 1st ODI of the summer so someone like Marsh might be better there.

Just heard the girls won by about 40 runs...

has australia taken the batting powerplay yet? sorry i went to sleep for a few overs then woke up with them tonking the ball around

 

[aussies1st]

Nope that is still in the shed as usual. Didn't need it anyway we were scoring faster in the non powerplays than we did in the powerplay.

wouldn't matter much seeing their WC is on soon.

i guess that could possibly be good news..i wouldnt be surprised if we see a middle order collapse haha something has to go wrong this is looking way too good so far

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Who would've thought the NZ fielders would struggle in sweltering heat? Morons.

 

[attila_the_gorilla]

poor effort by 2 metre Peter.
