New Zealand v Australia - 2nd ODI (merged)

[Wazeeri]

There was a time when for over 2/3 years the Aussies had not lost an ODI defending any score over 200. Now they have in the past 1 year lost three matches defending 330. Infact the three biggest run chases have been against Australia.

If Lee was there, Kiwis would have won five overs earlier.

Bret Lee is among the greatest ODI bowlers ever.

 

[Hussain]

so this means that for the first time in 5 yrs or so Aussies have been de throned in the ICC ODI rankings


All hail to the new rulers - South Africans

I'm still beside myself - a fug of disbelief has descended, Aussies knocked off their high horse, seminal days here, the downtrodden have risen up with a vengeance! Magnificent spectacle as the ogre is floored, touch and go whether this has any impact for the world cup, though.

) at Australia yet again. You'd think with the likes of McGrath, Bracken and Hogg in their teram they could defend 330 but yet again they've shown that they too can crumble under the pressure. Well done to the Kiwis though. Two bruising wins in a row. I want 3 now!

Don't get fooled by Aussies .They are maintaining ''the law of averages " before the big event.
