New Zealand v Australia - 2nd ODI (merged)

[Rob H]

New Zealand v Australia - 2nd ODI

Australia batting first and currently are 18/0 off 3. Hayden has been really aggressive since the start.

 

[Rob H]

Bond bowls 2 maidens in a row. 18/0 off 4 now. I've just noticed Shaun Tait is playing today.

 

[Billy]

If Bond can just get one to duck back in on Jaques...

	SE Bond (rf) 	2.0 	2 	0 	0 	0.00

 

[Rob H]

Edged and got him. Jacques is gone caught at first slip. Just brilliant bowling by Bond. Moving the ball away from the left hander at 145 kph+ pace making the batsmen nervous outside that offstump. Jacques was leaving it alone but his patience went and he stuck his bat out, got the edge and Fleming swallowed it at first slip.

Bond is bowling better than he did on Friday.

Haddin in to bat

26/1

 

[Rob H]

Edged again first ball but short of first slip. Superb bowling in that over from Bond

3 - 2 - 2 - 1

27/1 off 6

 

[Usman]

Aussies are shaking again! Can New Zealand make them loose their 5th match in the last 6 they've played???

 

[P4K1 #1]

this would be a shocker if aussies loose.. hayden and haddin got to make a p'ship

 

[Rob H]

Haddin has no clue v Bond. Too quick and moving it both ways.

 

[Rob H]

32/1 off 8.

Bond 4-3-2-1

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Sensational bowling from Bond!!

 

[Straight Bat]

37/1 after 9.2 overs

 

[Billy]

1 bad ball off 5 overs? I'd take that.

 

[Sean]

Man, Australia are doing ****. What a crap preperation for the World Cup.

 

[Sean]

Dholi, they have a kit for when they are away and when they are home.

 

[Rob H]

59/2 off 16 & drinks

 

[jattafridi]

Haddin smashes one stright down the ground for a 4, there goes the pressure...

i need link for this match

 

[Billy]

.. and the award for the highest usage of the word "W****er" in a cricket match in 2007 goes to Matthew Hayden!

Congratulations Matt, it was a lot more interesting than your batting.

At least I get to enjoy watching Hussey now.

 

[AWAN IN A MILLION]

Hello all...how's the wicket playing? How many runs do you reckon the Aussies will end up with? Is the NZ bowling suited for this type of wicket?

 

[12thMan]

Aus 96-2 after 21

[Rob H]

Mike Hussey has 100 with 3 sixes in the over! Well played skipper.

 

[Rob H]

Vincent just bowled lollypops and Hussey smashed then into the legside with ease over the rope.

 

[Sean]

Hussey's current average:
71.83
That was his second century. What an innings. It came off 81 balls!

 

[linuxaddict]

Looks like the curators are from sub-con..

 

[12thMan]

massive sixes by Hussey. I get a feeling they con'd the Kiwis by not getting runs in Vincent's 1st over and went after him the second over. that will be the end of him I think
very well played 100 by Hussey

 

[linuxaddict]

I am sure NZs will give it back.. They have big hitters too..

 

[Rob H]

Ross Taylor takes a blinder and Hussey is gone for a superb 105 off 84.

He came in from the rope, dived and took it low. Great fielding.

 

[Sean]

Taylor takes a very good catch and Hussey goes for 105!
A great innings! 4/252
42.3 overs.
