Finally victory to Australia by 4 wickets with 68 balls to spare.

..and a bonus point :!:

And after one of the closer games we have seen this season, Australia has remained undefeated in the one-day tri-nations series after beating NZ by 2 wickets with 8 balls remaining. Hussey finished the game in style with a 6.

First half of our bat looked a little shaky, and that dropped catch, botched run out and dropped inside edge could all have easily undone Australia.

Two games - two great wins - why couldnt we do this before??????

Hmmm.. Englend were being quoted at $6.50 to win the final of the tri-series ... It must be time for a few cricketers to think about laying off now ...

 

[JohnK]

Who would have thought that England could win the one day series....

Hindsight and $6.50 is looking very good right now....

Why do the names Marsh and Lillie come to mind at the thought of that

 

[JohnK]

I don't think that is the case here....

The Australian cricket team believes their own publicity about how good they are and they deserve to lose every game until they learn to respect all cricket teams they play against....

Another embarrassing loss. They are calling this one the worst loss in Australia's one day international cricket history.

Australia all out for 148, New Zealand 0/149! Is that 4 losses in a row?

I think they just about have every right to call it that ! plenty of 20-20 games have been one on more runs !

And another loss. Interesting that in one year Australia has failed to defend the 3 highest successful run chases in ODI history.

 

[JohnK]

And without Oram!

Can someone please lend me a hard hat?

 

[Kiwi Flyer]

And without Oram!

Not sure Oram playing would have done Australia much good.

Australia have just posted 5/346 in the final ODI. Matthew Haydn carried his bat and was 181 n.o.

Kiwi's currently 4/64. Some joy at last for the Aussie's

 

[Kiwi Flyer]

It is looking grim for NZ. Mind you I thought the same a couple of days ago and they managed to snatch victory.

Wonder how many more sixes in this game?

 

[Shano]

The Kiwi's have proven to be quite adept at chasing down large totals, but this one may just get away from them, although they are still scoring at around 6 an over
