|
| 0.3 Bond to Haddin, out Caught by Styris!! Perfect start for Bond! The last game's centurion has been dismissed for a golden duck! It was a good length delivery outside off, swung away a bit and Haddin fished at it, getting a thick edge which was neatly snapped up by Styris at 2nd slip, diving low to his left! Haddin c Styris b Bond 0(1) |
2/1 |
| 12.2 Vettori to Watson, out Lbw!! He's got him this time! It was the arm ball, pitched on a length and skid through to hit Watson in front of middle stump as he tried to force it away, he was a dead duck! Watson lbw b Vettori 32(41) <4s-6> |
84/2 |
| 14.1 Vettori to Ponting, out Lbw!! Vettori's struck again! Vettori gets another one with the arm ball! It pitched on a length and held its line, Ponting defended for the turn and got hit in front of middle stump...this is turning out to be a splendid spell from the Kiwi captain! Ponting lbw b Vettori 50(35) <4s-8 6s-1> |
85/3 |
| 25.4 Franklin to Voges, out Caught by Vettori!! Franklin has done the trick for NZ, it was a nothing shot from Voges, just hesitating and almost playing a soft forehand volley ala Federer, checked his shot and Dan the Man pulls off a superb one handed grab at mid wicket, a soft dismissal! Voges c Vettori b Franklin 34(36) <4s-3 6s-1> |
150/4 |
|
| 7.5 Tuffey to Ponting, SIX!! Good clean hitting! Ponting is just rubbing it in now! Steps down the track and merely lofts it through the line, it was timed well enough and just sailed over the long on fence |
46/1 |
| 16.4 Vettori to White, SIX!! This time he's connected perfectly! It was a flighted delivery, he made room and lofted it inside out over long off, super shot |
98/3 |
| 23.5 Franklin to Voges, SIX!!, magnificent shot! it was overpitched, Voges saw that and lofted it flat over long off, no chance for the man on the fence, nice stroke to ease the pressure |

|
| 7.4 Watson to Guptill, out Caught by Ponting!! And there comes the breakthrough, it was a fuller length delivery outside off, he gets forward and drives it on the up off the middle, the skipper dives to his right and takes a good low catch to end a blistering opening stand that looked like taking the game away from the Aussies. Watson strikes in his first over yet again. Guptill c Ponting b Watson 30(22) <4s-5> |
63/1 |
| 19.5 Hopes to Taylor, out Caught by Michael Hussey!! Mr. Cricket takes an absolute stunner! Good length delivery on the stumps, Taylor flicks it uppishly to backward square leg, Hussey moves across quickly and takes a wonderful tumbling catch, sends back the dangerous Taylor and Aus get the timely wicket. Taylor c Michael Hussey b Hopes 15(37) <4s-1> |
120/2 |
| 22.2 Hauritz to Stewart, out Caught by Watson at long on!! Tragedy for the Kiwis, a rush of blood from the debutant has done him in. He looked to clear long on but is deceived in flight completely as he holes out to Watto who doesn't make any mistake what so ever at long on. They have lost 2 wickets in quick succession now as the Aussies fightback. Stewart c Watson b Hauritz 4(9) |
128/3 |
| 24.3 Hauritz to Brendon McCullum, out Caught by White!! Steps out and looks to flick it over the infield, doesn't get the elevation and White takes the simplest of catches at mid wicket. The Kiwis are surely in trouble now, he was edgy since Taylor's wicket and the Aussies are cock a hoop at the moment. They are on top now and the Kiwis have a lot of repair work to do.Brendon McCullum c White b Hauritz 61(75) <4s-3 6s-4> |
130/4 |
| 29.2 Hopes to Styris, out Caught&Bowled!! And the wickets continue to tumble. The ball stopped on him a bit after pitching on the good length area on middle, Styris was through with the stroke early, gets a leading edge back to the bowler who dives forward anf takes a good low catch on his followthrough. Who will take the Kiwis past 250 now? They are in dire straits. Styris c and b Hopes 8(19) |
152/5 |
| 30.4 Johnson to Vettori, out Lbw!! Full and straight does it for Johnson! Fullish delivery on the stumps, Vettori walks across and tries to work it to the leg side, misses it and gets hit on the pads, the umpire has no hesitation giving it out as it would have hit middle and off, Australia are now going for the kill here. Vettori lbw b Johnson 12(18) |
154/6 |
| 38.3 Hauritz to Franklin, out Bowled!! How unlucky can you get! Tossed up delivery on leg stump, it would have been signalled a wide, Franklin goes for the sweep, hits the glove and rolls onto the thigh guard and onto the stump, Franklin is absolutely gutted, but the Aussies will not complain. Franklin b Hauritz 10(27) |
177/7 |
| 41.1 Watson to Hopkins, out Caught by Haddin!! What a dreaful start to the batting PP, gets a thin edge as he looks to force a length delivery outside off, gets a feather edge and the keeper takes an easy catch. Hopkins c Haddin b Watson 20(32) <4s-1> |
213/8 |
| 43.3 Harris to Tuffey, out Caught&Bowled!! Spears in a perfect yorker on middle, Tuffey tries to dig it out but the ball pops up and a good catch by the bowler on his followthrough. He is walking back to a round of applause from the crowd. He has certainly given the Kiwis some hope with his blistering innings but NZ is in danger of being bowled out well within their quota of overs. Tuffey c and b Harris 34(17) <4s-1 6s-4> |
236/9 |
| 44.1 Johnson to Bond, out Caught by Hauritz!! And the party is over. It was full and straight on middle, Bond went for the big heave over mid on, doesn't connect properly and ends up spooning it to Hauritz who takes a good low catch at mid on to end proceedings for the Kiwis. Australians certainly know now that they have a firm grasp on this match. Bond c Hauritz b Johnson 19(9) <4s-1 6s-1> |
238/10 |
|
| 4.2 Harris to Brendon McCullum, SIX!!, you beauty! It was a short delivery angling down leg, he gets back and helps it on its way over deep fine leg, gets plenty of wood on that and the ball sails into the construction area! |
33/0 |
| 5.1 Bollinger to Brendon McCullum, no ball, SIX!!, over-steps again and he has been taken toll off, he clears his front leg and flicks him superbly over deep fine leg, sails into the crowd! |
44/0 |
| 12.3 Johnson to Brendon McCullum, SIX!!, short of a length delivery on the stumps, Brendon McCullum picks the length up early, swivels on the back foot and pulls it over deep square leg for a maximum, fantastic batting from Brendon McCullum |
81/1 |
| 13.6 Watson to Brendon McCullum, SIX!!, BANG!!!!! Fullish delivery on the stumps, Brendon McCullum comes down the track and deposits the delivery many rows back into the new construction stand, Brendon McCullum was waiting for such a delivery and he has promptly dispatched it over the boundary, superb batting from Brendon McCullum |
92/1 |
| 39.5 Watson to Tuffey, SIX!!, How about that for a six? Short delivery outside off, Tuffey stays on the back foot and pulls it up and over deep mid wicket, crunching sound as it is hit from the middle of the bat, superb shot from Tuffey |
190/7 |
| 40.4 Hauritz to Tuffey, SIX!!, what has he eaten before coming out to bat? He seems to be a man on fire today. It was nicely tossed up on middle, he gets to the pitch of the ball and smacks him way over long on, into the stands! |
201/7 |
| 40.5 Hauritz to Tuffey, SIX!!, the momentum has suddenly shifted in NZ's favour! It was a half tracker on middle and leg, he rocks back and pulls him high and handsome, long long way back over the mid wicket fence! |
207/7 |
| 40.6 Hauritz to Tuffey, SIX!!, take that he says, one more! This time it was a flighted delivery outside off, he extends his arms and lofts him straight down the ground over the bowler's head, clears the sight screen and into the top tier, entertaining stuff this, the Aussies are shell shocked! |
213/7 |
| 43.1 Harris to Bond, SIX!!, what a welcome to the bowling crease! Just smacks that through the line, straight down the ground and just manages to clear the boundary, the crowd are on their feet, what a transformation this has been |
