‘We didn’t want New Zealand tour’ - Gilchrist
Most of Australia’s players did not want to tour New Zealand for the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy, according to the vice-captain Adam Gilchrist. Gilchrist, who was resting while his team-mates lost the series in two games, said the side did not need the three-match contest and freshening up at home would have been a better exercise.
"I’m going to be brutally honest here and say I don’t think too many people wanted it on at all,‘’ Gilchrist said on Inside Cricket. “We’ve had a very hectic summer. We had a brilliant summer in Test cricket, but then we fell away in the one-day series, and that was very disappointing.”
Gilchrist said the administrators had a difficult job trying to fit in the games and New Zealand Cricket was keen for the contest. “But if you had to be really specific about the Australian cricket team, we probably didn’t need this series at the moment,” he said. "It would have been nice to have that little bit of time for everyone to be at home freshening up and getting ready for the World Cup.‘’
Australia’s first two games of the series were a disaster as they lost by ten wickets and had their total of 336 chased down in the second game. While Ricky Ponting and Gilchrist missed the tour, the team has also suffered with injuries to Andrew Symonds, Brett Lee and Michael Clarke. Australia will attempt to end their four-match losing streak, which has dropped them to second on the world rankings, in the final game at Hamilton on Tuesday.

Re: NZ v Aus. 3rd ODI at Seddon Park, Hamilton
30.3 Voges to McMillan, SIX, HOLY CRAP, thats out of the stadium! Superb hitting, its like a baseball home run derby! McMillan dances down and lifts Voges miles over the sight screen....24 sixes in the game and McMillan celebrates his 100 with a fiesty pump of the first....immense innings!

Current partnership 141 runs, 20.1 overs, RR: 6.99 (McMillan 89, McCullum 41)
Re: NZ v Aus. 3rd ODI at Seddon Park, Hamilton
just when it seemed that posting 346 on the board and with hayden hitting an unbelievable 181, and then putting kiwis to crumble at 116/5 aussies were back at the top again.... mcmillan once again manages to show his class....
New Zealand need 82 runs in 66 balls....
very much achievable i'd say, looking at the way kiwis have played the last 2 games....
but for pakistan's #3 spot, let us pray that kiwis lose this match....
Re: NZ v Aus. 3rd ODI at Seddon Park, Hamilton
Bracken to McCullum, FOUR, thats four, and New Zealand have whitewashed, blackwashed, whatever you wanna call it - they've beaten Australia 3-0! McCullum slashes another low full toss, one-handed, smack in the gap behind backward point and since everyone was up, that ball was destined for the ropes!
Re: NZ v Aus. 3rd ODI at Seddon Park, Hamilton
Unbelieveable!!!
Well played NZ. 
Re: NZ v Aus. 3rd ODI at Seddon Park, Hamilton
NZ won by 1 wicket with 3 balls to spare... wat asn awesome match..
great batting by Mc(Cullum/Millan)...
Re: NZ v Aus. 3rd ODI at Seddon Park, Hamilton
unbelievable stuff this from the kiwis....
and aussies!!!! what a shame!!!!
losing the home series 2-0 in the finals and losing the series 3-0 here....
this whitewash will surely give them a wakeup call....
so does this mean that the top 4 run-chases in ODIs have been against aussies, the world champions????

Re: NZ v Aus. 3rd ODI at Seddon Park, Hamilton
Well the myth that Australia's second string was better than most of the other team has just bit the dust.
from cricinfo:
I need a breather and a nice stiff drink. Wow. If you thought the last match was a humdinger, well I'll tell you, this was something else. Bracken just lost the plot in the last over, offering a bleeding full toss to McCullum, a man whose reputation as a last-ditch scrapper has skyrocketed. What an innings he played, an unbeaten 86 from 91 deliveries, partnering the never-say-die McMillan in the partnership of the match.
McMillan....well, he needs a special mention. From 41 for 4, with the solid Peter Fulton for support to begin with, he slammed the fastest ODI hundred by a New Zealander. He showed his belligerence in the CB Series and in the last match, but today he took it up a notch and then some. A fabulous innings from him, a day he wont forget any time soon. McMillan, Fulton, McCullum and that man Mark Gillespie, who kept everyone on their toes with a 15-ball 28, mastering the art of the inside-edge and french cut to perfection.
Spare a though for Mike Hussey, who hasnt won a game as captain. He had a depleted side, but then like they say, you put your best team forward. New Zealand too were without their two best bowlers, Shane Bond and Daniel Vettori, and it showed as Matthew Hayden led a fine onslaught to carry Australia to 346. He carried his bat, and braved a fractured foot to score an unbeaten 181, the highest score by an Australian. Unfortunately, he didnt take the field and ended up on the losing side. His injury will monitored very closely leading into the World Cup in three weeks.
