Or is there anybody still around who's foolish enough to believe they can be beaten?

Good one Ellie, but I reckon its down to one man, Tendulkar. If he turns it on for a game, it could blow the Aussies away.

Were we awesome or what? (...er...apart form the last 3 overs of the first innings, apparently if the entire innings had gone that way ZIM would have got over 1000 runs!!)

But we ended up cleaning them up fairly comprehensively... <img src="graemlins/keano.gif" border="0" alt="[Keano]" /> :cool:

....well, Aus haven't batted'em out the game today... NZ's let them off the hook, aus should've been bowled out for under 150 imo.

Thats the difference between australia and the rest , we can bat all the way down the order .

I was never in doubt the bichel would bat it out and that N.Z would never get 200 .

:D

Balls, we are quite capable on it bar extensive feck ups. which have been frequent of late, but we haven't really collapsed (as in 112) for ages.
