Re: New Zealand in Australia
If Australia can add another 60 or 70 runs it would almost put the game out of reach. Ideally, if they could get the lead past 300 I couldn't see New Zealand chasing that, their tail is worse than I thought it would be and their top order didn't do a lot bar a few small contributions.
Prtety good game though, haven't had one of these on Australian soil for a while.

The funniest thing was the next ball he bowled the exact same ball and Martin played it the same wayLjp86;284509 said:

Australia were bowled out for 268, Katich carried his bat, making 131 not out. The tail provided excellent support, Johnson scored 31 and Clark 18 from only 12 balls.
Chris Martin finished with three wickets, Vettori and O'Brien got two each.
In reply, NZ are 3/45, chasing a target of 327. Jamie How was out in the first over to Brett Lee, Aaron Redmond hit a return catch to Stuart Clark and Mitch Johnson just Jesse Ryder LBW about five minutes ago.
A lot of work to do for the Kiwis if they want to win the game, much of it will come down to the two at the crease currently, Taylor and McCullum.

Re: New Zealand in Australia
New Zealand are 6/143 at stumps. Daniel Flynn and Ross Taylor combined for a great partnership of 84 before Mitch Johnson induced a drive from Flynn who played onto his off stump. And last ball of the day, Grant Elliott left a delivery from Clark who cut back off the pitch and took the top of off stump with Elliott departing for a duck.
So, Australia in control, New Zealand still need another 184 runs to win with two days remaining. Ross Taylor is still there on 67 and would appear to be their final hope of winning the game.
Day Four should see us come up with a result.
