AU V NZ ADELAIDE OVAL 14/12/07 o/d game

[mal]

Appears to be one sided but on a flatter track NZ can be competitive
In Ross Taylor and Jacob ORgasAM they have 2 wonderful later order hitters
Much depends on Lou Vincent to kick start thier innings.
Kyle Mills is a very underated bowler.

Watched the Kiwis all day today, fielding drills and then the nets.
Lou Vicent was extremely close to playing for SA this season.
Lou and I had had a chat today, he really enjoys the faster bouncier
wickets in Australia, and his batting efforts here vindicate that.
And yes he wants a stint back in Australia.

Mason and Martin looked very quick in the nets, but the best of them
was Mills who bowls about 15 km slower but got good bounce and movement.
Of the batsman, none stood out today.

As for the Aussies do we risk Roy ?

Never underestimate the hatered that NZ have for Australia...
They will be competative without a doubt. There batsmen will find something over here, they always do.

Looking at the TV guide for tomorrow's game, it looks like only the first 2 hours of the match is televised here in Adelaide.

Looks like i'll have to load up Cricket TV on the 3 mobile to get the full coverage. Unfortunately I can't make it tomorrow has have other committments for several hours after work.

Rain is evidently on the way, (believe it when I see it) so might be yet another shortened match

What's rain ?? Tait to bowl with heat after the Kiwi's have questioned his action...

[blink]

Should be an interesting series. Australia will regain the trophy though, after the 3-0 whitewash spanking that they received in NZ. Neither Ponting or Symonds were available for that series, so their inclusions are massive for Australia.

Does anyone know if Bond, Shane Bond will be fit to play in any of these three matches??

Someone who looked like Shane Bond batted in the nets yesterday.
I didnt see him bowl and I watched nearly all the net sessions.
Dont tell me hes injured, must be the christian name....

Bond tore a muscle in some part of his body just before the series so will be a no show. Sad because he is the best non Australian fast bowler in the world.

AU $1-22
NZ $4-00
TAB sportsbet
Nearly tempted to back NZ with tornado TAYLOR + Jacob ORgasAM in the line up

[mighty_tiger_79]

$2.75 NZ to hit more sixes great value

$2.75 NZ to hit more sixes great value

Should be

AU $1-40
ORgasAM $2-75

[blink]

Jake the Muss has been in for 25 deliveries and only hit one 4....

He had better start doing something!

[rod_rooster]

NZ 7/254 after their 50 overs. Nowhere near enough IMHO. Aussies will reel that in without a worry in the world. Had Shane Bond been playing it might be a different story but unfortunately for the Kiwis, Bond is more injury prone than our good friend Watto.

PS - Watch for this comment to come back and bite me on the ar5e later tonight if the Kiwis get up

I thought that it was you or me that was more injury prone, just we dont hit the headlines cause we have retired

You might be onto something there locky I'm not quite retired yet though

[rod_rooster]

Well Gilly was smashing them. 51 off 29 balls. Hayden 17 off 17. Ponting and Clarke in now. Aus 2/75 after 9 overs. Should be no problem at all.
