I think I liked Clarkes dismissal the best.
Well left.
Williamson looks great on the drive.Stayed tuned Pride is back.

Good call to keep bracewell in the team. I wouldn't of been suprised if they left him out after his first test, but after vettori went out, playing all the quicks worked out really well. Unlucky for warner though. Played a great 100, and showed he is more than a T20 superstar. Still got a big batting problem to solve. Guptill and mccullum need to sort their stuff.

Just heaps more egg on their own faces TBH. Just like when Slater got MOTM when the KIwis hammered them. Aussies not learning to play or lose with grace makes it that much better.Looking back at Pattinson giving Taylor a spray and Ponting mouthing off at Ryder after his dismissal shows the total lack of class ( especially from that snivelling little rat Ponting ). Just retire you tired old man.

Quote from: Fran O\'Sullivan
The best thing about Finance Minister Bill English\'s latest Budget is that it does finally signal a much greater role for the private sector in the New Zealand economy. And another step along the way to extract this country from the political cul-de-sac in which Helen Clark\'s Labour Government parked us.

Correct and lets hope for some more consistency from this side now they know the feeling of winning.More test matches would probably help.
Surely you can allow yourself a little smile though Tofu. First victory on aussie soil since 85 is something to truly celebrate.

Also this from Harold of Queensland on Michael Clarke -

I've been a fan of Michael Clarke ... until now. His post match speech was a disgrace. A surly, petulant little boy who never once - not once - even mentioned the Kiwis. No congratulations, no recognition of Bracewell's fine, match winning spell. Nothing. Totally embarassing being Australian. Get a new Captain who is a man. And boil it down, yes, Warner's knock was magnificent, but Bracewell won the match with a six wicket haul and should have been Man of the Match without question. The whole awards and speech business was a disgrace, saved only by the Kiwi Captain, who spoke as a captain should.

Well said.From Fox Sport website

Because if the situation was reversed, it wouldn't be the same? If the game was played in New Zealand and, for example, McCullum carried the bat for a century but they fell just short chasing a total and the New Zealand public voted on MOTM, you don't think they would vote for him over an Aussie who bowled well?

Public voting is stupid because of course there is going to be bias.
