**Official** New Zealand in Australia

Whoever bats first will probably lose imo

Tony Jones is an idiot, initially he claimed that the game was washed out but now he mentions about the potential 20/20 game to be decided within 15 minutes from now.

 

[Bahnz]

Don't really care anymore to be honest. It's effectively the first of a two game 20/20 series now.

 

[James]

Must say, agree with this comment on CricInfo:

Richard Evans: "In a way I would sooner have no play, it may be better to have an honourable draw rather than decide the series with a 20 over slogfest."

 

[Evermind]

WTF is with this thread? Britain's youngest father? Who gives a ****?

Anyway we'll see how it goes. Might be a crap game.

 

[Craig]

24 overs aside.

 

[Zinzan]

Pfft.....

"5.55 pm QLD: Speak of the devil. There is a slight drizzle in Brisbane now, but we are still awaiting word on whether it has done the damage. Hope not!"

 

[pasag]

Don't care who wins, series was a draw.

6.12 pm QLD: Great guys, the news from Brisbane is that New Zealand have won the toss and opted to bowl. The match has been reduced to 22 overs-a-side. Game On!!

For Australia, Michael Clarke is out and Peter Siddle makes his ODI debut

There's also a change for New Zealand. Brendon Diamanti makes his ODI debut, replacing Craig Cummings.

Yip. Same here.
I'm not even gonna watch it all.
A night of getting ****faced is not gonna get delayed because of a 22-22.

Should rather be registered as a T20 game

You should do both at the same time.

Yeah same here, would have rather prefered this game being washed off rather than it being decided in such a fashion, its a absolute lottery now, and worst way in which such a closely contested series should be decided.

I'm not celebrating the last day of my university life at home alone watching a 22-22, getting drunk.

Hell no.

 

[_Ed_]

Disappointed the game is happening, to be honest. Don't know if I'll bother watching. I won't claim a series victory if we win this.

Not really a lottery, just not an ODI.

 

[Redbacks]

We needed Sir Donald Warner in the squad

 

[_Ed_]

Have to admit, the TV is on. Can't say no to any game with NZ in it.

Still think it's a farcical end to a great series though.

 

[_Ed_]

Diamanti?

Good lord. It just got worse. He'll probably do well in this sort of game too.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

At least NZ is chasing. Might actually have a chance of 'winning' the series.
