Burn Down Canberra: Oct 27, 2005; GAME PLANS? We don't need no stinking game plans.

Who would have guessed a flimsy middle order would be exposed against a decent bowling lineup.

I was eating pizza and missed the beginning, I tune in and now 3 wickets. I am New Zealand's talisman.

(Also, the only time I've ever seen a live cricket match was at this ground)

Ah the infamous ODI where NZ were all out for under a 100 to Sri Lanka

On the plus side, Australia still has a healthy run rate.

I'm prepping dinner and I am just hearing wicket after wicket. Like the sort of batting lineup Australia has is prone to collapse. So the proper bats need to do better. Smith knicked out it happens and Warner lbw but Watson come on man. You are supposed to be a number 3.

Good bowling by the kiwis but some poor shots mixed in.

You should be listening to the ACC. Leigh Hart is completely unintelligible; absolutely shitfaced drunk, and is mumbling random thoughts and howling. It's great.

A Michael Clarke special. He doesn't do it as much anymore but he has a weird knack for belting the ball flat into the infield.

Can't wait for NZ to get within 7 runs of the win and then be forced to take another dumb lunch break.

and South Africa
and West Indies

I hate the kiwis as much as the next Aussie but it would really be quite funny considering world cricket politics for new zealand to win the world cup. A real gently caress you to the ICC and the big 3.

Good catch.
