Australia vs New Zealand 1 Innings Break
Posted by Hamish McBrearty on January 14th, 2007
Australia finished the innings at 289/8 with some superb hitting from Andrew Symonds and Cameron White as well as a hat-trick from Shane Bond. After an excellent start from Gilchrist and Hayden the Australians were slowed a little by the loss of 3 quick wickets. Symonds and Clarke consolidated well through the middle overs before the big hitting at the death. Bond slowed the hitting by dismissing White and Symonds on consecutive deliveries, then completed his hat-trick by bowling Nathan Bracken.
While 289 is a sizable total, New Zealand could get it if they bat well. As noted earlier the New Zealand top order is badly out of form and 5.80 per over is a daunting task. My prediction, Australia by 100 runs.
