can anyone see NZ causing an upset on Saturday ? Stupid question considering how meek they were on tuesday maybe, but I believe in " bounce back " theory. You know, when an AFL team coach gets sacked or they play really poorly (eg Carlton losing by 100 points + last year and winning next week ) or they hit panic button like NZ bringing in sports psychologist this week, will have an instant short term effect. I see on cricketbet you can get 3.00 NZ , might have small bet as think they may improve.and then lay off on aussies in the run, as it seems kiwis look a chance to win at some stage but just lack intensity at end.

anyway good punting

HEY!!! That's mine!
Longterm forumers will know my liking for the Bounce Back factor.

Not sure if NZ can win this one, but surely they can win one during the series. Will be interesting to see if NZ win the toss and field. That seems to be Fleming's preference and the kiwis have done very well that way before, but I still believe you're giving away a big advantage by letting the other team bat first.

will be hard for them to win, but there tactics have been all wrong as you said sportz. reckon if they win toss bat and make 250 odd they might come into 2.25 " in run " and both teams can be backed for profit.

I will be really interested to see if they do change tactics. I love betting on cricket , and are amazed how stubborn are some teams dont seem to change tactics that dont work. A great example was recent england vs south africa one day series. everyone said that england should have opened with andrew strauss but selectors thought that wicketkeeper geraint jones was man for job. he failed to reach 50 but they kept him there almost to prove they where in charge.

i wonder if kiwis will do same

Interesting that England's two best batsmen in South Africa were South Africans.

Australia to win by plenty. Get on em at $1.40
