You are forgetting the same Bracken was thrashed on last two balls for four and six by N.Maccullam.

By when the match result was sealed..... if you watched the match, Bracken was already declared Player of the match even before the end of the over.... Which also goes in to show how well Aussies bowled to Elliott...

It was 19th over where NZ scored only 4 runs. Bracken bowled 20th over. Elliot scored only 23 off 30 balls and remain not out.

Yes I praised Voges because he converted a six into a catch by his exceptional effort.

BB McCullum - 61 off 47 balls NT Broom - 36 off 26 balls NL McCullum - 10 off 4 balls GD Elliott - 23 off 30 balls
You can see only Elliot was unable to score quickly. It shows NZ lost because of Elliot bad batting rather than Aussies good bowling. Why Aussies bowled badly against other NZ batsman?

Only Elliot wasted too many deliveries and it created pressure on Kiwis.

151 was small target in T-20. NZ bowlers did well. NZ batsman were in comfortable position to win the match but Elliot played slow. He made 24 in 30 balls. Elliot slow batting was main reason for NZ defeat.

Aussies were out of the match till 18th over. They played good cricket only in last two overs and Elliot's inabilty of pinch hitting also helped them. I am not against Aus. But yesterday NZ played good cricket in whole match, they only played bad in last two overs which cost them as a defeat.

Ms.Anurag, NZ bowlers did well to restrict Auz @ 150, while Aussie bowlers did EXCEPTIONALLY well to restrict NZ @149.... Will accept this rephrased sentence, at least?

A defeat is a defeat... when you learn that basic fact you'll learn that Australia lost the series to South Africa on some very tightly contested matches.... most of which they had commanded at most stages...

still you don't have the mentality of good sport lover..why you can't say AUSSIES were playing good cricket? still you are saying NZ played bad in last 2 overs.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Elliot responsible for defeat....
by Anurag Rathore on Feb 16, 2009 11:28 AM
I am only saying what I saw. Nobody could say before 18th over that Aus will win. NZ required only 20 runs with 7 wickets in hand. NZ bowlers did pretty well job and restricted Aus to only 150. NZ dominated in whole match except last two overs.

Elliot was responsible for NZ defeat which scored 23 off 30 balls and remains not out.

You have typical Indian metality, because for you Aus is still champ. Thats why you are not accepting the fact that Aus didn't win it, NZ lost it. Any expert can say that NZ was on top when they needed 25 off 18 balls with 7 wickets in hand.
Will India Manage to keep the winning triumph going in N.Z.? India had some good opening start in recent matches but it will not be easy for gambhir/sehwag to keep that rythem going on that bouncy track but we can hope from our pacers to use the maximum of it. What do you say guys which players are capable in the current ODI/Test squad who will take the lead and perfom at their best on N.Z.
Man... if ever the saying catches win matches can be proved then it is in this match. The catch voges took was outstanding. What a great presence of mind. In future this catch would be replicated by other good fielders but Voges will be the pioneer something like Peiterson's switch hit
The way he pulled hair of Rohit Sharma on field when he got a run out shows NEGATIVE face of rivalry Rohit needs to be taught to punch Raina face instead of acting like gentleman all the time. Watch his out of control and manipulating oppenents in team (who have put mental spell on him ) instead of SULKING like typical Indian. Problem with Rohit is that he needs to refuse to be put down and see how he can play better than this rascals. Luck, hit and miss Raina should be flogged and kicked out!!! Dhoni got free advise from all yet he does not have in him, time will tell.
Since we cannot connect to Rohit to explain him how he can blast again. Rohit can take a lot from Delhi players like Gambhir who picked lot from our advise, Dhoni just aped that advise that was not meant for him. yet he cannot do that well

Rohit sharma is a Indian dravidian (look at his face), unlike Irfan-Yusuf Pathan's, Ishant sharma, Zaheer, Tendulkar's who are from Aryan stock.

What? India is yet to research and get its history right.. This whole Aryan-Dravidian stuff were a theory of bunch of European historians who had strong religious leanings.. Let us first try and get our history correct with lot of research rather than fighting over what is still theoritical concept with no physical basis. Think of it with this Aryan-Dravidian theory Europeans have successfully delinked Indian civilization from Indus valley civilization which is one of the most sophesticated civilization of that era.
Gone are times when India-Pak matches used to ne real thrillers and decided on the last ball of the 50th over. Now all this thrill has got shifted to Aus-NZ, they have been long time bitter rivals and this rivalry was proved in the one day series and this T20 match.
With the matches in Indian subcontinent have now become boring, as SL, Pak on decline and Bangladesh still minnows, the Aus-NZ matches were value for money.After watching India-Eng 5-0 and SL 5-1(including T20), and Aus-SA 4-1 all one sided boring cricket, this series was a welcome relief. NZ definitely had a chance in 5th ODI, but cricket is a game of by chance as well.
Cricket has no value if the matches and series are one sided. The charm of cricket lies in pulsating matches with nail biting finishes. ANZ series proves that.

Rohit Sharma should have origins from Karnataka. His parents might have settled in Bombay.
Except Brendon McCullum and Vettori, the team is a dud. Surprising, the gave Australia a tough fight. Unfortunately, the Indian team are not gonna get a good resistance, New Zealand is gonna bend over and take it in the upcoming series. Hopefully, atleast against NZ, tendulkar will score....we can all hope, can't we.

Today's NZ team is better than today's Aus team. Everybody in the world would have chased 150 in this pitch. It is very poor performance by kiwis.
