Ffs, if we make the final that means more then likely that the Black Caps wont be down here for the Twenty/20 championship thingo, as they shall be resting. So thats pretty gay. :(

twenty 20, is stupid didn't even know it was on!
I agree. If they scored 30 goals in soccer it would be boring. Just like when they hit 30 sixes in cricket.

Cricket is all about strategy, the team that wins in test cricket is almost always the better team. You can't say that for one dayers and definately not in twenty 20.

I can handle one dayers but i have no time for twenty 20.

Bring on the Ashes.... and hurry.

20/20 is good every once in a while as its quite entertaining. however i hope it doesnt catch on too heavily as it good be bad for the game and isnt true cricket.

Ahh bless, Kimmy it's good to see a fellow Kiwi, female cricket fan! I prefer test cricket tbh, but I love ODIs too. I grew up watching Richard Hadlee bowl, Martin Crowe & Andrew Jones bat, Ian Smith as keeper *sobs* oh the good old days...*sigh* :p

We love Bond, however every time he's named in the squad, we get nervous that he'll end up with yet another injury. We really need him, he's great. I'm not holding out much hope for the game tbh...but I'll still support our boys whatever the result. Hopefully a win...fingers crossed!

God i love beating the Kiwis. Not as much as i like beating the Poms or Saffers but it just makes me smile.

I thought we might be in a bit of trouble early on in the Aussie innings. I haven't seen a ball swing and seam like that since they cancelled some games in the Windies cause it was too dangerous.

That pitch in the first 15 overs was a mongrel and the Kiwis really missed an opportunity. 2 wickets when the ball is doing that just isn't enough to beat teh world champs. Mills bowled well, bond i thought was too short but bowled some nasty deliveries in his first spell. They bowled too straight too. I can't remember too many balls that had the aussies playing and missing.

Great batting from the pig hunter. 58 from not as many on that pitch was a herculean effort.

I can't believe Watson played the shot he played. ridiculous. On that pitch you know its going to settle down after 15 overs so just be patient.

I really hope the windies win tonight. Bring on Sunday.

Bugger, we lost. Meh ohwell. Yay at Dan Vettori :D..top scorer for us *w00t w00t*, lol to think we had Australia there once, at 4 for 2..then 70 for 3.

IMO something needs to happen to our top order, Louie Vincent needs to get into form quick smart!!, and tbh i've always though Hamish Marshall shouldnt be there, he is to inconsistant for my liking in the batting!!

Wonder if any Black Caps will be at the 20/Twenty shindig in a couple weeks time...if we won none would have been, and apparantly a few are set to miss it eg: Fleming, Vettori and I think it was Bond!!

The 20-20 will be incorporated into the ICC Champions Trophy next year, it will be implemented for the players so they can get used to the playing conditions and not have to go to England to play county Cricket like so many of them do so there form doesnt drop

Marshall is rubbish. How he's still in the side is beyond me.
