Australia v New Zealand, 7th ICCCT Match, Edgbaston, 12 June, 2013

all up to Faulkner.

Time for bed. I hold faint hopes of Aus making a game of this.

Maxwell's batting is below the level needed to get out.

NZ's Mitchell>> than Aussie Mitchells

17 off the second last over, Maxwell finally gets the silver hammer out...unforch most likely too late.

Aus should have enough

Well that last 10 overs was utterly inept from Australia.

'Should' is not a word that has a lot of relevance in the context of Oz cricket nowadays.

NZ's batting is pretty flaky. 240 could be defendable if Aus take a few wickets inside the first 20 overs.

I'm glad that SOMEONE bothered to mention him.

26 @ 17.

4-fers against all FOUR countries he's played.

He looked useful when he played here last summer. I was surprised he didn't get the test nod

Like every other Kiwi, bar Hadlee and maybe Chatfield, he's as brittle as peanuts in caramel.

Chatfield was dead and kept playing ...I think he'd make the tough team for that ...although dying was a bit piss weak

Bob Blair?

So it's Luke Raunchy according to Sourav Ganguly

Clearly has an eye on him.

If this game is rained off, then Aus have to hope that England beat Sri Lanka tomorrow, right?

 Yes but it's not necessary. What is more important is if England beat nz by a big margin.

Don't yet like the cut of the little shit's jib.

You're obviously just jealous "The New Sachin" is not Indian.

Rained off. Feel a bit sorry for George Bailey but rather glad Aus only have 1 point.

Reckon Australia would've won this one - unlucky - but ultimately, meh.

So the weather saved Aus from an embarrassing loss?

Stoopid Cricinfo is struggling to load here in Sydney, again. Pretty lame that I have to go to the CA site to get the scores.

I fell asleep as the tail was collapsing. Midge had just holed out at mid off to make it 8-219. I though my 233 prediction was looking good, but looks like Yoody Big Show managed to smoke a couple.

Looks like it may have been a decent game in the offing.

Oh well.

Now if CA will send Warner home, it'll make my day.

Must just be Sydney. It's fine in SA.

It's been shit in Sydney for the past week. Trev has had the same drama. Must be a local server issue.

Aye - it's OK here, just FYI.
