***Official*** Australia in New Zealand

Why was this thread made before South Africa in Australia, out of curiosity? As far as I know, Australia don't go to New Zealand until next year, and South Africa will be here in a few weeks.

well i presume this is in relation to the Chappel/Hadlee ODI series in december, so as usual i predict Australia will win. Looking foward to see how Bond goes this time around.

Honestly, my interest in the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy is non-existent. I find it a really pointless series to play annually in an already jam-packed calendar

i agree. i think the series is a poor attempt to try to create some interest in a bledisloe style clash that just won't happen.

Yeah, lame series. We shouldn't be dignifying the Kiwis by playing them every year. :)

Anyway, Im not resting until my Official South Africa in Australia thread gets stickied. :@ They arrive in three weeks, and the 1st Test is less than a month away.

hopefully having Shane Bond will add a good deal of interest to the series - and he will do really well and the series will be competitive. unfortunatley he cant do it all himself.

If the series is exciting as last years one then I will be happy.
It won't be.

Kiwi's seem to be on a downward spiral and the Aussies have always been excellent in ODI's....I pray for a close series but I think a proper shellacking is on the way for the Kiwis. :dry:

Shane Bond has the wood on Australia in ODIs, hopefully he can spike some sort of resistence by NZ and make this series a competitive.

My prediction is he'll fail as he didn't look very good to me against SA.

Frankly, if this is true, I can't see it being much of a contest :p
He got two centuries in a row last year in domestic ODIs opening so you cant say that he wouldn't be worse than the current openers :D

Jaques or Katich?

Who do you think should open with Gilly for the ODI's in NZ & beyond to the World Cup, Kaques or Katich. For me if Jaques keeps up his great ODI form in the ING cup between now & when the sqaud is being picked for NZ i'd pick him, since i believe he make a better option at the top that Katich.

What do you ppl think?
