Just as well we are such a magnanimous race isn't it Kiwi. You might never live it down otherwise!

yeah, I went to the game - as per the report, the weather was cold and the only Aussie player of note was McGrath - I would definitely say it was the Aussie 'B' Team, the 'A' team being rested up for the World Cup in the West Indies.

But must say that Bond played a blinder ...

There is no doubt Australia bottled it and threw a winnable game away. They collapsed embarrasingly. But somehow the NZ press are now describing the Kiwi team with words like "redoubtable", "powerful", "magnificent" etc
I guess a week is a long time in cricket... I suppose you think you're going to win the World Cup now!

That's ripe from a pommie.

"Johnny's back, we're going to win the RWC"
"Our England cricket team are just peaking, ready to win the world cup"

and the classic every 2/4 years

"I really think it's Englands time to win the World Cup/Euro, we've got the best players etc"

Good to see your team stick it to the Aussies anyway

Well, at least I can rightly claim that England are the current rugby union World Champions.

Now let me think, what are the kiwis good at, bearing in mind that your highest earning 'sportsman' is Tiger Woods' caddy!

Congratulations on beating the Aussi reserves again - one day you might be able to beat their first team, like England did.

Aussies don't like losing to the Kiwis so it'll still upset them, plus they've lost the series and have now been knocked off the ICC number 1 spot.

Kiwi's right. The Aussies hate losing, period. Being beaten by us 2-0 then by the Black Caps 2-0 is gonna hurt, reserve side or not.
The aussie media is more fickle than the UK's if that's possible.

Friday's demolition of the Aussie's was sweet but today's match was better still.

It's put a bit of a spark into the World Cup too which can't be bad.

Yeah, it was a great match, with a very exciting end, well done the Black Caps!

Nice to see the Aussies suffering, too.

Without their best players - Ponting, Gilchrist, Symonds, Lee, Warne etc, they look quite ordinary. Hopefully, it'll mean that the World Cup won't just be a victory parade for them.

I thought it was an outstanding match, went right to the wire and it was great to see the Kiwis win.
