NZ - 111 for 6

NZ fighting !

Re: ICC Champions Trophy- 1st Semi Final- NZ vs AUS @ Mohali Nov 1

and Ricky Ponting's sloppy captaincy has allowed NZ to come right back into the game. With NZ 6 for 36 he never put 3rd slip in place and ball went through that corridor many times

Amazing the stadium was nearly empty. Wonder why all those people who had tickets didn't turn up. Without India in the finals will it be another empty house?

Re: ICC Champions Trophy- 1st Semi Final- NZ vs AUS @ Mohali Nov 1

What an amazing fight back by Vettori and Oram. They could have pulled it off. You take McGrath out from the equation and you will see how Australia is gonna fare.

Re: ICC Champions Trophy- 1st Semi Final- NZ vs AUS @ Mohali Nov 1


You read my mind. Phil Jacques is one of those strong athletes who should be groomed for the future. I got several chances to look at him in the past and he seemed very fluent and agile with the bat, scoring runs at ease.

Another outstanding performance by Daniel Vettori. This guy is the backbone of New Zealand!

Yes...thats typical...
That is why people say 'Cricket is not passion in India... Indian Cricket is Passion in India'.. This is not good for cricket and this is what gives so much power to BCCI. Like if ICC thinks they can ban BCCI and Indian team they can still make money from Indian cricket fan by showing up cricket matches played between other team then this idea isnot gonna work.
