CB Series (MCG) Australia V New Zealand

Stodge just needs to survive long enough. Hussey and White are the types of blokes who can come in and hit out right away.
 
Four runs! Save ya legs!
Hodge gets his first boundary. He moves along to 32.
3/176
 
MASSIVE SIX FROM PONTING! Straight down the grown way over the side screen.
 
4444444444444444 for Ponting off Bond.
 
Kiwis need wickets........not of stooge though..........

Australia require another 80 runs with 7 wickets and 60 balls remaining


with wickets in hand the aussies should get them....
 
Franklin bowls a beamer to Ponting. The ball just slipped. it was an accident.
 
After scratching around the first half of his innings (23 off 40), Stodge has scored pretty much over a run a ball to now be 50 off 61 (27 runs off 21 balls).
 
3 more for Stodge, 11 off the over. Last 4 overs ahve been 10, 10, 10, 11.
 
44444444444444444 more for Stodge, he's on fire!
 
what a masterful chase by the Aussies. Ponting shows why he is heads and shoulders above any other batsman. And Hussey still to bat.
 
The Hobbits looking ragged in the field now.

Wickets in hand was always the key. I'd back them to score 10+ in the last 10 if they had wickets in hand.
 
What a great century from the great man! Absolutely brilliant! Well Done!
6 boundaries and 1 six in his innings of 105 balls.
 
Another ton for Ponting. OZ 3-251. 22nd ODI century.
 
RRR which has been at 8-8.5 for most of the innings is now down to bit over 6.
 
4 more to Hodge and he moves onto 82.
3/261
29 needed from 29
 
Great catch by Lou Vincent. Ponting gone slogging down the ground.
 
OUT! Great catch from Vincent! Ponting goes for a big one and is caught at long off.
he makes 104 and Aussies are 4/266.
 
Ponting gone for 104 off 113, great knock.
 
Mr Cricket in now, can he take us home? 25 off 23 needed.
 
444444444444 for Hussey. 13 off 15 needed.
 
Bit of a mix-up, Hussey could be run out.
 
Hussey has walked off before the decision.
 
Miles out! Hussey goes.

278-5.

Makes in interesting:)
 
The two Bushrangers at the crease now, White and Stodge to try and take OZ home.
 
Hussey now got out in two consecutive innings........that too cheaply.....

Aussie will get their easily though........kiwis were around 30 runs short.......
 
FOUR RUNS! AND A NO BALL! 7 from 14! Hodge needs 7 for a hundred. Can he do it?
 
And a horrible ball from Oram, no ball and a boundary to boot! Stodge makes him pay, 7 off 14 now, this should be comfortable.
 
5 off 13 needed, and Stodge needs 5 to get a ton.
 
Hodge on 95. He runs 2. He has to get a single this ball!
And..... he gets 2! That's the over.
5/288 and 3 needed from 12.
 
Come on Stodge! 2 more runs. 3 needed but Stodge has lost the strike. I hope Cam White doesn't do anything stupid like block every ball this over.
 
White should try and go over the top and finish this with a boundary, the field is in.
 
Dont get a 4 Cam! The Aussie players biting his nails. All players coming in to stop the single.

He gets the single! Well done Cam!
 
3 off 12 - game over.

Where does that leave Eng?
 
Hodgey!

Gets a 2! 99 he finished up on. That is sad. Unlucky!
Australia win by 5 wickets. Great victory.

That's a record victory for Australia at the MCG. Well played!
 
Hodge gets the 2 to win - didnt bother with the ton.

99 not out.
 
And Stodge finishes on 99 not out, brilliant knock after being under pressure. He might have booked his flight to the Caribbean after that.

OZ win by 5 wickets, good controlled chase.
 
Ricky "Punter" Ponting wins MOM with 104. Punter says he might hand over his watch to Hodgey.
