Yep, we're destined not to win this match. I'm off to bed soon. But Macca did it again! Out caught at extra cover, exactly the same shot.

Cam White? He has had a rough day with the ball today, would be very risky to bring him on now.
 
A great, possibly matchwinning (albeit lucky) innings comes to an end for Macca. You need to have a bit of luck when you're cowlashing in the lower middle order like White was earlier, and he made the most of it. Well played!
 
Those extra few runs they gave up to Aus could bite NZ now.

Lack of Oram could bite them now.

Oh the drama.

He will be taking the ball away from the bat and is likely to pick up a wicket but if he has been thrashed all day then never mind bring Tait on!
 
At least we fought hard in this match, compared to the last one. Bowling form has just been substandard today.
 
24 from 23, there's no way NZ will lose this.
 
Sean said:
Oh no! Tait has to bowl the last over! S***!

Well one of the reasons he is in the team is because he generally bowls well at the death and has a good yorker. Need 6 yorkers from him now
 
The NZ commentators (Ian Smith and Mark Richardson) are willing NZ on.

We need 12 yorkers, all at the same spot.
 
Tait could cost us this match if he bowls wayward in his last 2 overs.
 
I hate to jump on the commentator bandwagon...but these guys are such homers.
 
NZ just milking these singles. 6 off the over. 18 off 18 needed.

I'm prepared to cut them a bit of slack - this is a really big deal for them. :D
 
Oh god! 774 ABC RADIO are going to the golf for a couple of minutes! NO!
 
Flipping a coin here with tait - heads he'll bowl well tails he'll bowl rubbish.
 
We need some luck here and we're not going to get it, I feel.
 
This is just slow death, singles every ball.
 
11 needed from 12 balls. 7 from that over. We need to get Fulton this over.
 
If anything this proves that even the best side with injuries to key players are vulnerable. Lanka found out in India just now
Pak found out in SA
Aussies finding out in NZ

There is room for pakistan after all . Jerry Jerrry Jerrrry
 
The only way NZ can lose from here is from there own carelessness.
 
couldn't ask for TOO much more from Tait. Except a wicket or a dot ball that is...
 
2 runs! The ball goes over Pigeons head. It hit the pitch and ballooned over his head.
9 from 11.
6!!!!! GAME OVER! Short ball is smashed over midwicket for 6.
3 needed from 10.
 
NZ WIN AN AMAZING MATCH BY 5 WICKETS! The greatest ever victory in NZ.
The end of Australia's run at the top of the ODI table. Also there fourth loss in a row!
 
Good win for NZ. Its all good and well thrashing Aus in one game, but you need to back it up and thats what they did today by winning this series.

Nahi mere bhai. I just hate this new trend due to flat pitches where no score is defendable. This is hell for bowlers!
 
What a series win by NZ! AUs two series lost in a row. Maybe their depth is not strong as we all speak of?

SA are now number one! I thought I never see the day....great, just sets up for a even bigger fall :D

Sean, the aussies had a good run. A decade of dominance, but I guess all good things come to an end.
 
Man aussies better be worried about em ides of march. They have lost like 5 matches in 2 weeks.
 
I hate to bring up the next match so early but......when was the last time Aussies were whitewashed?
 
NZ, ENG and SA peaking at the right time.

Same cannot be said of AUS and PAK though now.

Pak vs Aus in the WC final then.
 
New Zeland Vs West Indies or Pakistan In World Cup 2007 Final...
 
Brilliantly executed chase........ Great victory for the Kiwis.

Lee was sorely missed by the Aussies.
 
Oh: If Lee was there, Kiwis would have won five overs earlier...

The manhattan graph and the worm from todays match.
You will notice that NZ were ahead of Australia for all of their innings.
The 3 overs around the 40 over mark really helped NZ.

Good thing ross taylor is doing well.
Hes from my home team in New Zealand, central districts.
Always plays at Pukekura Park, in domestic matches he just smashes sixes like crazy.
Pretty good guy as well
