cross bat shot down the ground, it's all over, crowd swarm onto the ground and mob the NZ batsmen
Australia vs New Zealand, 10th Match at Cardiff, May 20 1999 - Ball by Ball Commentary
New Zealand won by 5 wickets (with 28 balls remaining)
no doubt Steve Waugh will whinge that the crowd aren't paying any attention to him this time
great win for NZ, that goes someway towards avenging that painful defeat at Chennai in 1996
and some scary approximation of a haka is being performed by a bunch of shirtless guys in front of the dressing room
and now hopefully people will stop saying Australia are favourites despite all evidence to the contrary
presentations.....
Waugh says he isnt all that worried abou the way they're playing....
Fleming says it one of his most memorable victories as captain
but says they must be consistent
and Twose is the Man of the match, 80 not out off 99 balls
big day for the World Cup tomorrow, a credit to the schedulers in that they see WI v Bangladesh as important enough to devote a day to
this will be the 1st ODI for WI against an associate country since *that* match at Pune, coverage as per usual will start at 945 GMT
cheers from CricInfo
defending off the leg stump into the off side
4 runs until vengence is paid
ever so casual flick off the off stump, over the forward square leg, great shot, and caught! (by a guy leaning over the fence)
forceful drive, McGrath bends over well
defending outside the off stump, fielde don the on side
bouncer, no ball called by the bowler as is the norm these days
waves the bat at it, edges thru the vacant second slip
sliced away, driving thru the cover point, great shot, especially when you're facing your 3rd ball
careful forward defence, there'll be no panic attack today
clipped off the pads, fielded at the backward square
flicks across the line forward of the square leg
played and missed outside the off, playing too late
going for another huge six, definitely after a net run rate improvement, skies it very high, Dale takes a top backward running catch from mid off
full down the leg side, Australia are simply rattled
18 off 7 overs needed now
simply no stopping NZ, lovely lift over the mid on
swipes it across the line, dabbed in front of the square leg
sweet sweet timing, a little outside the off stump, what a beautiful off drive
terrific inswinging yorker, but typical of this partnership, it is very well defended
defensive away into the off side, taken in the covers
coming around the wicket, inside edge dribbles behind the square leg
