Re: 25 FEB Australia Vs Newzealand

and vittori gone
fine knock

good fight back by NL
at one point they looked like getting 120 or so
getting 200 plus from that point is an achievement indeed

Re: 25 FEB Australia Vs Newzealand

I feel happy for you for feeling happy about it :jhanda:

Whatever rocks your boat, sir. I was not arguing anyway; just posting my own opinion how I saw the series.

Re: 25 FEB Australia Vs Newzealand

No Problem man :jhanda:

We won and that all matters :jhanda:

Re: 25 FEB Australia Vs Newzealand

While you are right, different conditions different story. They were playing at home there, now they are playing in the sub continent, where a few months ago they also lost a series to Bangladesh.

Re: 25 FEB Australia Vs Newzealand

206 all out.

Australia looks to me to be the team to beat in this tournament.

Re: 25 FEB Australia Vs Newzealand

agreed but in my opinion it should not be the justification for international cricketers' to rely on. (Though we give the very justifications for our own cricketers often).

Fact is that Pakistan and NZ were the two teams of similar calibre and yet NZ lost on their home ground. I would say that Pakistan has improved and is certainly a competitive side, if not dangerous, for sure. If we won the T20 WC, we should be eyeing for this WC too :)

Australia have the measure of NZ. This should be another easy win for them. cannot honestly remember the last time NZ beat Aus in a meaningful ODI

Aus in action again. Right form in right time.

Southee to Ponting, 1 wide, OUT, Ponting must be miffed. Hide the TV in the dressing room. Lovely work from Baz, he’s stolen a wicket out of nowhere

AHMEDABAD, India (AFP) – Australia captain Ricky Ponting smashed a television set in a fit of fury after being run out during a World Cup match against Zimbabwe, a local official claimed.
The incident happened after Ponting returned to the dressing room and saw the replay of his dismissal on TV during his team’s 91-run win at the Sardar Patel stadium on Monday.
“It is true that Ponting smashed the LCD (TV) in the Australian dressing room,” Gujarat Cricket Association secretary Rajesh Patel told AFP. "I think he must have been frustrated at his early dismissal.
“We have informed the International Cricket Council as well as the Australian team management about the incident.”
Ponting, who made 28, was found short of his crease at the non-striker’s end by a direct throw from Chris Mpofu during the Group A encounter.
Australian media manager Lachy Patterson said he was not aware of any such incident
