5th ODI - Aus v NZ @ Sporting Capital Sydney

[TheParraboy]

im going for a run

 

[wittyfan]

NZ have won the toss and are batting. :sleeper:

 

[salivor]

This is the NZ side:
1 Brendon McCullum (wk), 2 Nathan Astle, 3 Stephen Fleming (capt), 4 Ross Taylor, 5 Peter Fulton, 6 Craig McMillan, 7 Hamish Marshall, 8 Daniel Vettori, 9 James Franklin, 10 Mark Gillespie, 11 Michael Mason

We're going to get slaughtered. We only have 4 front line bowlers and are going to have to rely on part timers in Astle and McMillan to make up the other 10 overs. We sure as hell better put a big total on the board as we're going to struggle defending a total with that attack.

 

[PARANoIR]

No Bond. That's unfortunate. I'm spewing that the Kiwis are batting first, I hope they make some runs.

 

[wittyfan]

Given recent efforts, just surviving the 50 overs will be an achievement.

 

[salivor]

If Fleming gets out this over then I'm going to laugh after the fuss he just made.

 

[wittyfan]

Lol!

Also, it's good to see Mason in the team, the crowd shall get some catching practice later on tonight.

F*ck New Zealand can struggle against Binga. They just look nervous.

 

[aussies1st]

Go binga, he on fire today.

 

[salivor]

We've struggled against Ahktar in the past as well.

Oh and Hamish Marshall is a hack.

We've struggled against Ahktar in the past as well.

Oh and Hamish Marshall is a hack.

We have struggled against any kind of pace. Malinga, Lee, Ahktar you name it.

We even struggle against Sami.

 

[willvillain]

Binga gets another. Kiwis are deadset scared.

 

[TheParraboy]

Kiwis 2/7

Hamish g gilly b binga 0

 

[salivor]

Marshall lasted about as long as expected. I'd be fuming if our lack of batting form wasn't so comical. The sooner Bracewell gets the boot and John Wright hopefully gets the gig the better.

 

[NK Arsenal]

they should be all out by now.

 

[Mr Saab]

Just end this series already.
Waste of time.

 

[TheParraboy]

Kudos to Lee, bowling marvelous

nothing wide, nothing too short as can be the norm with him

 

[TheParraboy]

Lee 155.5km/hr

We should have played Tait today
