3rd ODI: New Zealand v Australia at Hamilton, March 9th 2010

[Beavers Headgear]

Yeah they were certainly tough on Papps, averaged 100 over a season, and the only chances he got were against a good South African attack on pitches doing everything you can think of

Maybe the part of me not rating Broom comes from him being my age and he didn't really dominate the schoolboy scene in Chch at the time :lol:

 

[JJ]

fair enough, cheers

Will try check them out. Will do some touristy things in auckland eg bridge climb/jump, volcano tour, skycity look/jump, Zoo/underwater world, cruise to some of the nearby islands, etc...But yeah would like to be a bit rustic and branch further out. I had planned to go further north for a look

Auckland's worth some time, as above unless there's a reason to do Hamilton, best avoided

Get to Rotorua if you can, the Bay of Islands, Nelson, Queenstown would be my first recommendations

Recommended Auckland activities: Rangitoto walk, Waiheke if you like wine and a west coast beach/waitakere ranges visit is a must. even if the weather is no good its worth the trip.

No footwork Ingram out already.

 

[aussies1st]

Dougie starting to add McCullum to his list of bunnies, got him twice now and inside edged once again.

 

[beads6]

Good work Dougie!! Cmon boys take more wickets bring on the pain!!

 

[beads6]

Gald Ross Taylor is playing he is great to watch... Also love that I found a live stream of the cricket

 

[beads6]

Johnson gets one, kiwis now 3/55

 

[JoeD]

Not looking good so far

 

[Fast Eddie]

If Taylor goes cheaply its all over.

Cheers bud

Yeah will spend some time in Auckland, going to both eels v warriors league game mt smart stadium, and the ABs vs SA union game at eden park, so will have 6-7 days in between to explore

Odd we decided to field first. Wonder if Clarkes ommission had anything to do with it? In anycase NZ could look to set us over 280 Id imagine

NZ 4/134 in the 26th

Taylor looks set for a real biggie

 

[Meth]

That shot is why Taylor shouldn't be the vice captain. Great batsmen ruined by his temperament.

Go north- some of the best beaches in the country are north of Auckland

Goat Island, near Leigh, about an hour out of Auckland

Coromandel is nice as well- Hahei, Cathedral Cove

Watson ran himself out, good bit of work by Hopkins but. 1 for 28 after 8.

 

[aussies1st]

Really slow going right now.

 

[Fast Eddie]

We were a good 40-50 short.

 

[hineyrulz]

Haddin likes the look of Mason.

 

[TheParraboy]

dont need clarke today, we should shoe it in with overs to spare

 

[Twizzle]

gee Haddin is in some form

 

[ozbash]

going to both eels v warriors league game mt smart stadium,
