Gilly has rated the black caps as one of the teams to watch out for at this years world cup. i hope it is right.

and styris has just gone over to catch up with the team in melborne.

and yes we need some feilding practice, but when you score 320 against england at the moment, it doesnt really matter does it :)
 
we best field superbly against australia..jimmy franklin needs to field consistently!! lol..

oram the poor man's chris cairns my arse..thanks to the stupid aussie journalist who wrote that, you've given him more insperation!! :p
 
I agree with the Aussie commentators comparing Jacob Oram to Lance Klusener. but with less attitude. But it is great how much better our performances have been since he has been back in the team. Also Lou Vincent and Mark Gillespie are proving themselves as well.
 
lets hope scotty styris can make a good performance when he comes back into the side. :)
 
If Scotty Styrss hits good form, and the Black Caps continue to imporve the way they are, then they are certainly a threat to Australia for the world cup.

England have finally managed to post themselves a decent total getting 292-7 with Ed Joyce, :eek: of all people managing to get a century. Farcical run out at the end with Dalrymple, don't know what he was thinking but imagine my shock to turn on the tv this morning and find Joyce hitting a boundary to get to his 100, has turned his form around in the last few games so I have to give him credit, could possibly now have a starting place in the world cup.
 
England seem to be getting the job done with this match, Australia struggling on 163-6 with Symonds retired hurt to boot. Although if there's any team that could mess it up from here England would be right up on that list. :p
 
England can still make the finals now.. but we should atleast win one game over the weekend...
 
i think a little chucking a game..went on there by aussie..but ohwell..im glad they lost (whether it was on purpose or not i dont care)..

i hope we make the finals regardless!!..we just bascilly have to win on tuesday against england, but it would be nice to win against australia on sunday :D..and it would be great if lou vincent got like 100 and something, and Jacob Oram has another great innings. :)
 
Maybe some of the Aussies decided that it was time to not try as much within themselves and didnt tell anyone, which has the same effect as "match fixing" and throwing the game but they didnt decide it amongst themselves, therefore it doesnt constitute cheating. Nah lol they just didnt play well!!

The first ball between Australia and NZ is being bowled in 10 minutes or so.
 
and aussie made a very tidy 291 :(

they chased that total VERY well, was good to watch the last 15, if you were not a kiwi supporter that is.

its a do or die game on tuesday at the gabba against england for both teams.
 
After pretty bad starts from both the Kiwi's and England it's nice to see them both hit a spot of form the finals, regardless of which team makes it, is now competative.
 
BAH! Australian threw that game against England and made the game against NZ interesting so that the grounds can be filled for the rest of the games. The games were getting boring with Australia flogging everyone which resulted in people not getting their moneys worth and declining ticket sales.
 
Well you'd think then if they were going to throw a game it would be against NZ cause they're the better team of the other 2. If it's a proper final Australia want then they wouldn't have thrown the England game.

Anyway NZ didn't make enough of their start and left themselves with too much to do at the death so 2 matches left in this series.
 
Congrats to England for finally turning their fortunes around in their last 2 games- and 2 centuries thrown into the bargain.

Guess it looks like a more competitive final now, Eng finally coming into some form with both bat and ball. Obviously Oz will be the favourites for the best-of-3 final, but even the mighty Aussies have managed to lose the odd game, and anything can happen on the day.

That said, if I had to put up odds for the final, it`ll probably be something like 20/1 for Eng.
