Who would have believed that we could win after this mornings play. Unreal. Hats off lads!! I shall have a beer or 5 in your honour if you can oull this off. 9 down!!!
What about that time one of them Chappell brothers
bowled under arm on the last ball ? is that one of them
As unAustralian as this might sound I was barracking for the Black caps. Good win cuzzie bros.
PS - My distaste limited affection for the Aust. Cricket side stems from my dislike of one Michael Clarke.
[edit - just to shorten that bow Doggie is referring to, I don't particularly think Ponting whilst Captain made me feel all warm and fuzzy for them, and the way they carried on win or lose was another massive turn off. A long bow would be me not liking them because Clarke went out with that annoying "where the Bloody hell are you" Bingle girl, but I'm happy to draw that bow as well . ]
Yeah, the Aussies have been up emselves for too long. Well done to the koowies as Joolya calls em. Need to get rid of the old wood and get the younger talent happening . What is India gunna do to them 
The title is Great MomentS in NZ Sport
Is winning a test match by 16 runs, to draw the series, to fail to capture the Trans-Tasman trophy against the poorest Aussie cricket team of the last 15 years really a great moment ?
Carantoc, yes it is still a great moment in NZ sport.....
We are pretty **** at cricket lets be honest. Just this time the Aussies were ****ter. Im sure it wont last long, Im prod of my Black Caps though, good on em, u gotta admit, the bowling was pretty good.
PS dont say we suck at all sports though! I recall we have done pretty well at the yachting, and we have a guy on the PKRA who finished fourth I think. I think we might have had a guy who did really well in the cheese rolling competition a few years back too. Gotta celebrate all the milestones, huh
In the last few months he has averaged 31 at Test Level. Still OK. Hughes is about 28 recently.
I hope they pick Ponting and Hussey for the series against India
It will be great to see them loose again.
Last time this team played India they got whitewashed. No wins at test, one day or T20 in the entire tour.
That was after they lost the ashes.
Everyone said 'well now they have 5 months before they play another test, time to reflect, review and build for the future'.
Warner is only in the team because Marsh was injured. How about Warner AND Marsh in the team, if Ponting has to go to make room then get some balls and sack him.
Khaw aja career average is 29, recent average of 26.
I think we need better batsmen across the board. They share the losses equally I think.
Pup is doing OK, recent average of 57. But take those 3 tons away, and he has scored on 56 runs in 7 knocks, averaging a whopping 8 !!
3 tons were - 139 - 151 - 112.
7 mostly bad knocks otherwise - 22, 0, 11, 2, 2, 6, 13.
Unearted some raw gems in the bowling , Lyon is the deal & will get a test soon from the Indis , fark hughes off entirely now , wasn't warner good? and thank fark for him coming into the fray finally , get or keep the likes of marsh x 2 , ferguson , Khawaja , wade or any other young buck with no baggage in there so they can get a bit from the best in the biz .... the Indis imo ,,,,, 'tis time very soon.
At sea at the moment on a tanker with a boatload of Kiwis so todays result was not what I needed whether I'm a cricket fan or not.
Here's what I think
A thread on NZ sport you say...
Well you have to mention the most successful NZ sportsman of all time *drum roll please*
Yes that's right Steve Williams, Tiger Woods' ex caddie.
