somebody should start a countdown thread for the "UNTHINKABLE" happening.
Get him out...that's one way to do itMethinks something needs to be done about calculating averages using not-outs. Grant Elliott's average is 72 and his highest score is 61*. Surely there must be a way of tempering the excessive advantage gifted by not-outs to a batsman's average?
NZers bowled straight and full - nothing special but they are bowling to their fields and it is very professionalAustralia couldn't get the wickets, but nice to see all the bowlers chip in with the wides.
The bowling lineup is dire, and needs revision. But Hilditch's choices seem pretty desperate and haphazard at the moment - he's selecting like an Indian or Pak selector.
They don't, Langer said it in English and that's what Clarke ended up with when he tried to form letters from the English alphabet.I didn't know Langer and Clarke spoke Arabic.![]()
I agree on Hilfenhaus - he's been pretty awful all summer and just doesn't look suited to the one day format.NZers bowled straight and full - nothing special but they are bowling to their fields and it is very professional
I only watched the NZ innings up until Guptil's wicket but Hilfenhaus, in particular, was all over the shop and almost the exact opposite of the Kiwis
I'm obviously a dinosaur because I would've thought that his best policy would be full on off stump - a mode of attack consistent with the Kiwis approach and that also suits his bowling
Unfortunately, it's pretty much consistent with how he's bowled all summer so I can only think that he's not very good and/or the advice being given to him is crap - probably a combination of the 2 tbh
yep looked really good..Just watching highlights, it looks to me like more than half the crowd were Kiwis....
sorry Im just ya av Kiwi boy and I only won $100 at local TABOne of my work colleagues was in a corporate box at the G last night and when I texted him, he was just about to head down to go out for beers with Kyle Mills and the rest of the team. But then again, this is the same guy who won $40,000 on Pittsburgh winning the Super Bowl so he's a bit of a high roller...

I was pointing out that one of my work colleagues was one of the Kiwis there making up seemingly more than half of the crowd.Sorry, whats the point, or are you just name-dropping again ?![]()
