    Hey guys it's a good thing Adam Gilchrist ending up playing in the Chappell-Hadlee series otherwise people might not take it very seriously with the whole getting smashed regardless and all. ;)

    That's a bit harsh, PoT. NZ made over 100 runs, you've gotta give the boys a hand for getting into treble figures.

    Yay! Go Australia!

    Dual citizenship is just great for trans-Tasman sporting events. ;)

    A fair point TBM, at one stage I would of beat against them even managing that when we had them 6/33. ;)

    Fair dinkum, when you can't even score runs off Brett Lee (finished with 3/6) you might as well give up and we can all have an early lunch. :)

    Whoa. I didn't catch this. That's just stupidly incredible. I bet Brett Lee will never get as good figures for the rest of his career.

    Congrats to Aussie on destroying us in the 1st match.

    Let's hope the 2nd game here in Welly is more competetive. Thought we bowled very well but once again our top order failed which is becoming a bit of a regular occurrence.

    Anyway i have my bag of apples for Wednesdays game..... :D



    EDIT: And it shows how much we miss captain Fleming and double-o Bond :(

    There was some woeful croud behaviour in the first game. At least two pitch invasions, food and other items thrown at players (and an umpire!).

    I mean, seriously, in other countries fences would have to be erected and tear gas put at the ready. This isn't the subcontinent nor the Windies for god's sake! In Australia there's rowdyness in the stands (Bay 13 for example), but there's an understanding that if you get onto the field you're convicted and fined $5000. The threat of lifetime bans has curbed bad behavious here somewhat.

    Maybe these things need to be looked at over there. Is midstrength beer the heaviest sold at those venues as it is here?

    Hearing about those antics was sad. Sad that it still goes on in any sport, really.

    I hear now that they are not selling any tickets for the front three rows of the next game in NZ to help curb the antics.

    What, they think people can't throw things further than three rows of seats? :p

    So what is he facing? Fines? Court?



    There's something else the Aussies have smashed the Kiwis at. And over in New Zealand to boot!

    Of course I speak of Sheepdog Trials. We currently hold the trophy after defeating New Zealand for the first time in New Zealand.



    And should I add that little thingy coming up in a few months called the Commonwealth Games?

    BEST GAME OF CRICKET EVER!!

    I was at the game and i can tell you it was an emotional roller coaster.

    From a game we should never have got close to winning we got VERY close, but lets face it we choked. Aussie were on the ropes with Lee totally losing the plot and a debutant to bowl the last over and we CHOKED. Great runout by Clarke under pressure and that was the game. But that last runout, well i don't think the TV umpire has heard of benefit of the doubt to the batter!

    Great game though, and a great day in the sun sinking piss
