hadden seems like an ok guy.. so dont you think he would say something when he knocks the bails off the stumps and the guy walks thinking he got bowled?! how could hadden think it was bowled when he took it IN FRONT of the stumps?!

Didn't see it, will check out the replay tonite but certainly sounds interesting from what i'm hearing
Haddin has never looked comfortable in the National side to me

well the run out call went in the way of NZ (the not out call at the end, bat was definitely in the air), so in the end I reckon the bad calls kind of evened themselves out...

does that include the lbw which hit the bat?
and the thing with this is it isnt just a bad decision giving him out, hadden took the ball INFRONT of the stumps, which firstly isnt allowed, and then claimed a wicket after his gloves knocked the bails off..

with that one I know it should not have been ruled out technically, but the ball still hit a piece of the wicket. I KNOW his gloves were in front of the stumps and that it technically should be not out, but it still hit the stump...
I'm not just talking about wickets, they were very inconsistent with the leg side wides and high balls. It also about timing of these shit decisions... I honestly don't believe that that first decision (LBW) affected the game too much because realistically NZ still had every opportunity to win. 9 wickets 182 to get from 49 overs... The aussies would have been just as bouyed by a maiden first over... That haddin jobby completely altered the flow of the game and got Aus back into it in exactly the same way that the no run out decision did. Then some very tough leg side wide calls late in the game changed it to. So if you ask me I reckon that the decisions evened themselves out...
It was a very interesting game all the same... Australia are not playing good cricket and are gonna get pasted over in South Africa.

thing about the kiwis is you know if they get australia out for 150, they will be all out for under 100 I hope they win.. but i'm not overly confident you weren't far off. it all hinged on you gettin our opening batsmen out early so we could get to our real batsmen who always save the day (the tail enders)

Australia are not playing good cricket and are gonna get pasted over in South Africa. I hate to pull you up here but the laws say gloves in front of stumps = automatic no ball = cant be out. Square Legs Umpires fault for not calling it. Aussie gonna get pasted at home first
