    Australia, mate!
    You're batting line-up is weak and so is our bowling, so it's fair I suppose.

    haha yea it seems that way right now. Taylor and McCullum are quality but everyone else is too inconsistent, and it really lets us down. They can play well but dont do it as much as they should. And some of them have had chance after chance and never have made a score worth mentioning, or if they had it was against a 2nd rate side, like Bangladesh. But i spose thats the problem with only 4 million people population, just not enough choice

    Hey, is there still a rain delay over there? The score's been standing at 5-89 for a while now... Oh, and I'm listening to it on the radio btw, cos it's not being broadcasted here in Australia.

    Well, the Australian summer was officially over after their thumping win over the West Indies in the second T20, so no more games are being broadcasted except on Pay TV, which I don't have... And it's good to hear that the danger man, Styris, has been removed!

    Why would people in the US play cricket when it sucks to the scale of epic proportions?

    Cricket requires more skill than Baseball.

    hahahahahahahahah yea lets play a sport where the aim is to slog it as hard as you can and thats about it. You miss it, thats alright have another 2 attempts. Its a less tactical, more lazy and less exciting version of cricket. I'd stick to cricket over baseball anyday. Now if all your gona do it bitch about cricket just save yourself the humiliation and go somewhere else

    All we really need to do is get Vettori out and it's all over.

    both Tuffey and Southee have scored decent 50s before though, just being optimistic

    ah well played. But it was close and if the DL had been fair we might've had it, but it wasn't NZs day. O well series leveled at 1-1, I look forward to the remaining matches
