Aust. v NZ 2nd ODI
 

Is anyone else watching the cricket?? How good is it to watch - the only thing that will save the Kiwis this game is rain!

Well Gilchrist just threw his wicket away!! This better not be a repeat of the 1st game - c'mon Punter kep it rolling!!

Yeah, that might have been the feeling for a large part of game one as well.

Mate if anyone was feeling that rain was going to save the Kiwis in the first game they ought to be shot because it was played indoors!! :)

I can't see a repeat of game one happening here. For starters we are more than likely going to post a total of 270+ and secondly we are playing our strongest ODI bowling lineup on a wicket that is going to get tougher the longer the day goes on. I'd be extremely worried right now if my money was on the Kiwis because the only way they are going to win is if they can jag about 10 overs like the one they got on Sunday night.

Ha ha, good one, but you know what I mean.

If they don't get a HUGE score today, there's something wrong and they've got a far better balanced team today. They really should win.

Sorry. Looks like we've done it again!

Mate this is a mirror image of the last game!! I'll be happy if we can jag 270 here. After Lehmann and Clarke there isn't much left. Here's hoping our bowlers can do the job.

I don't know about you but I am thinking Symonds might be 12th man next game with Watson to come back in.

Well my TV coverage is done for the day - thank god for ABC radio.

You were right about Hogg. He's been great today. They'd be in serious trouble without him.

Well, I took the short odds on Aus and am fairly confident that our opening bowlers will take at least a couple of wickets in the first ten overs....famous last words! Its looking like another good match though.

He's a good little player, always give 110%. If the Aussies win he could be in line for the Man of the Match - a handy 41no and two wickets and counting!

C'mon fellas clean this up quickly!!
