Australia vs New Zealand, 3rd ODI | Sydney | February 8

[natalia]

New Zealand have won the toss and have elected to field.

 

[natalia]

Clarke and Haddin opening for Aus, Warner out for Ponting.

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Great start by the Aussies...2 overs, 2 runs, no one out yet...1.0 runs per over.

 

[IronMan2009]

Blazing start 5 runs in 3.5 overs.

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Australia 107/0 (19.6 ov), RR 5.35. They should take the powerplay at this point to take good advantage of it.

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Clarke GONE!

Australia 135/1 (23.3 ov)

I'm just following the cricinfo written commentary.

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

DJ Hussey GONE!

Australia 187/3 (34.1 ov)

 

[IronMan2009]

They are going to blow up the start once again?

 

[natalia]

Great work by Haddin. Actually IMO these two can prove to be a very handy opening combination (Haddin and Clarke), Australia can then afford two more batsmen/bowlers in the middle order.

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Aussies take the batting powerplay.
Haddin is run out!!
Australia 200/4 (37.2 ov)

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

BJ Haddin run out 109 (114b 8x4 3x6) SR: 95.61

 

[IronMan2009]

Once Marsh is back, clarke will go down.

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

CL White c Vettori b O'Brien 10 (16b 1x4 0x6) SR: 62.50

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

White is OUT!

 

[natalia]

They should easily get 300 from here

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

CJ Ferguson lbw b Vettori 28 (23b 4x4 0x6) SR: 121.73

 

[minhasuz]

Didn't Oz take the powerplay? I mean did they take 3rd powerplay yet or not?

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Didn't Oz take the powerplay? I mean did they take 3rd powerplay yet or not?

They already did from overs 38-42.

 

[minhasuz]

Ohh okay I thought they didn't...btw thanks mate

 

[minhasuz]

Australia makes 301-9, if opener fires for New Zealand then a whitewash

 

[On_the_up]

So Haddos replacing Haydos has done the trick for Australia

 

[On_the_up]

excellent shot by elliot for 4, Newz 113-3 in the 26th over

 

[Poison]

I saw McCullum had his shoulder injured, but is he gonna bat at all?

 

[On_the_up]

144-3 30 overs gone, Elliot on 60

 

[On_the_up]

A reverse shot off the back of the bat by one of the batsmen. RRR up to 8.26

 

[On_the_up]

White gets Broom out

 

[On_the_up]

Now Mills chips one to mid off

 

[Random Aussie]

Disaster averted.

 

[Poison]

Lulz, if only McCullum could bat.

 

[Poison]

Disaster averted.

Live to fight another match.

 

[Random Aussie]

Live to fight another match.

Yep that's pretty much the way it is for Aus cricket at the moment.

 

[On_the_up]

Southee tryingto make a match of it, 16 off 7 balls so far

 

[Random Aussie]

MJ ends Southee's cameo

7/183

 

[On_the_up]

Southee out to Johnson

 

[Infinitee786]

Why has mccullum come so far down?

 

[Random Aussie]

Why has mccullum come so far down?

He is injured

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

[Random Aussie]

Oh wait on, celebrated too early RA McCullum and Elliot are running the show now.

Bloody Hobbits issed:

Always they do this against us. If only they played against everyone else like they play us in ODI cricket.

77 off 60 balls with 3 wickets in hand

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Century for Elliott.

 

[Poison]

Take one wicket and the game is over. McCullum is unbelievable, though I dont think his shoulder injury is limiting him as much as Healy and co. are orgasming over.

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

40.3 Hopes to Elliott, FOUR )

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

63 needed off 48 balls.

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

What's wrong ... the runs have suddenly stopped flowing.

 

[Random Aussie]

60 off 42 now, good over there from Hopeless

 

[Random Aussie]

52 from 36

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

43.6 Hilfenhaus to McCullum, FOUR, shot! Banged in short on leg stump, MCCullum pulls it away well wide of fine leg for a crucial boundary

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

50 required off 35 balls.

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

GD Elliott c MEK Hussey b Hopes 115 (125b 8x4 0x6) SR: 92.00

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Everything is upto McCullum now.

 

[Sparhawk]

What's wrong ... the runs have suddenly stopped flowing.

end of 3rd powerplay. But the run rate req isn't very high they just need to stick around

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

end of 3rd powerplay. But the run rate req isn't very high they just need to stick around

Imagine Hussey dropping that much needed catch of Elliott

 

[Infinitee786]

Imagine Hussey dropping that much needed catch of Elliott

Too bad it wasn't Voges he already dropped him once, couldv'e been the second time lol

 

[Infinitee786]

46.2 Hilfenhaus to McCullum, OUT
BB McCullum c Ponting b Hilfenhaus 36 (27b 3x4 1x6) SR: 133.33

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[Poison]

Game over red rover.

 

[Fish]

Suprise suprise no comment to the press today from Vettori about the only wicket he took.

His LBW was incorrect as the ball came from a inside edge and Vettori saw it clear as day on the big screen but he didnt say a word to the umpire. Is that because there is two Vettori's one that complains when it goes against his team and one that shuts up when it goes his way.

Sorry Dan but you question other players but your own behavoir dosent stand up to your own lofty standards.
