NZ V Aus Third ODI

[El Diablo]

Will Tuffey get out of the first over? :lol:

 

[JTR]

#-o :roll:

 

[El Diablo]

is 14 balls in an over some kind of record?

 

[JTR]

Dunno... it'd be up there I'm sure. As would four consecutive no balls to start an innings.

 

[JTR]

90/2 off 16

Not a bad recovery after the shocking first over...

 

[JTR]

90/3 - Martyn (appeared to get an inside edge) out LBW to Vettori
Maybe we can notch that up as a favourable decision going Australias way?

*EDIT* - just say the replay and I'm not so sure about the edge now, so maybe not! ;-)

 

[Twizzle]

Katich's decision was a bit sus, leg stump and high

can't complain tho, kiwi's deserve to get a few

 

[El Diablo]

Aussies don't whinge. We leave that to the poms and Sri Lankans.

 

[Twizzle]

Clarke anda Hussey doing well

we should get 250 from here

 

[El Diablo]

If we don't lose wickets

 

[11Straight]

I think we will get 260-270 Clarke and Hussey have done well.

 

[El Diablo]

We need a big score with Kasper in the attack

How could you when he's about 2 centimetres in front of his stumps. Top of middle and leg quite comfortably.

Back to the game, Tuffey, :arrow: I've been saying it for a week now, but time to say syanora buddy boy. Trash that was, utter trash. Kyle Mills, you're a bumbling boob sometimes. Those last two overs was straight out of the Dummies Guide of How NOT to bowl at the Death. He's been doing it for two years now, like a rank amatuer. Haven't New Zealand learnt he hasn't got the co-ordination to control the ball at the death?

Thank christ for DL Vettori yet again, some thought his apparent loss wouldn't mean much, I tend to differ tremendously. He's the only class player in this bowling outfit.

 

[Iafeta]

is 14 balls in an over some kind of record?

Could be. Although there would be a contendor to it, Robert Kennedy v Zimbabwe in about 1994 at Napier. He bowled like 8 or 9 wides or something.

 

[weasel]

Tuffey actually had an RPO of 90 when the score was 0/15. :shock:

 

[Tommy Smith]

The people who thought Vettori wouldn't be much of a loss are now eating a mountain of humble pie...as they were always going to. The commentators stated that for the series, Vettori has bowled 30 overs for 94 runs. He clearly has it all over the Aussies and if it wasn't for him Australia would be posting over 300 in this series.

 

[ozzie]

pack your bags Hussey - looks like you will be in England for the ashes series - a top innings and another one from Clarke - How good is Clarke going to be in another 3 years?? Can he improve?? If he can stand aside batsmen of the world you will be looking at the "Prince of Batsemen"

Mark Waugh though would have taken Vettori apart in his prime. Australia seem quite timid when he's bowling. :?

Some great knocks by Clarkey and Hussey, who now have the highest 6th wicket partnership in Australian one say history.

Could it be that perhaps he's bowling very well and putting them under pressure? Or, is it as you seem to be saying, its just because Australia can't be ar$ed batting properly in that 10 over period.

C'mon, take the patch off and give credit to him where its due.
