Day 3 - NZ vs Aussie

Unfortunately things are looking pretty dire for the Blackcaps.

The Aussies showed us yesterday exactly how to apply yourself on a pitch that has no real demons.  They are now over 300 runs ahead with two days to play.  A quick look at the weather forecast doesn't provide any hope so it looks like the game will go the distance.  Actually when I say it will go the distance I mean we will probably be bowled out.

At the current rate we will be chasing something in the region of 400-450 which is a mammoth task for any team batting last let alone a struggling NZ batting line up.

We need to bowl the Aussies out and quickly!  Cricket can be a funny game and you never know we just might be able to do it.   History suggests we wont.

As I said yesterday, the third day was critical in deciding this match.  The Aussies knew this and now are in a commanding position.

Give the ball to Bond Mills O'Brien.........   or Martin?
