Reece Young. That's a name I had completely forgotten about.

10 years tomorrow. I remember watching the final day while trying to do some work. A good read.
Yep I caught the whole day, definitely picked a good one to sit on the couch and be sick.
Bracewell with a once in a career game, great stuff. Still such a bugger that he never kicked on. He was robbed for Man of the match too, Warner almost got them home, but he still got it despite not doing so. Nine wickets in the match shoulda sealed it for Douggie.

Was that when the Aussies were doing viewer voting for the man of the match? I can't imagine there are many examples of a bowler taking 5 in the 4th innings, his side winning and not getting man of the match.
Yep. Says in the article ...

That’s some bullshit right there. I mean carrying your bat is a great effort but still, they lost, Doug won it for NZ.
Interesting batting line up there, Ryder at three and KW at five. I thought they would have swapped by then ?

I'm not as active on the fern anymore, is there now an expectation that people read links?

Absolutely not. Just assume the worst and get really shitty and wound up. More fun that way.

Bizarre finish in the 20 20 tonite. ND was doing it in a canter then needed 6 off last ball with last man in.... The ball landed a few metres away on the bank. Well done Trent Boult. First time I have seen the combined strike rates of the last pair totalling over 600. Yep. Katene Clarke hit 4 sixes in a row and Boult hit his second over the rope. What a nail biter at the Bay Oval. 107 should be easier to get....

@arhs Looking at the scorecard ND tried very hard to lose that game in the last over. How can an opener (Clarke) be not out but only face 12 balls? He made the most of them, of course! Did he retire hurt and then return?
Yep, retired hurt and then had to return at the end, after the ND batting line-up somehow failed to score the 70 or so runs still needed in the intervening 17 overs... an unusual game. Someone needed to tell several of the ND top order that it was too late to audition for the New Years Day test, or to be Jos Buttler in Adelaide...
