This Match Took Place In Australia In The Stadium Of Perth On December 11 2007. The Fact That This Match Took Place On Australian Soil Made Australia The Clear Favourites. Perth Is Generally Regarded As One Of The World’s Fast And Bouncy Pitches. Australians Had Already Adapted To That Type Of Pitches And They Clearly Knew What To Expect From The Pitch.The Match Started With Australia Batting First On Their Home Ground. They Didn’t Had The Best Of Starts As Their Powerhouse Gilchrist Fell For Just 1 Of 5 Balls, Not The Typical Gilchrist Innings And Certainly Not The Gilchrist We Are A Fan Of. Mike Hussey And Michael Clarke Then Steadied The Ship Scoring Runs At Good Pace. Hussey Eventually Fell For Just 22 Of 16 Balls With The Score Being 51. Symonds Came To The Crease With Good Instincts.
Clarke Fell Soon To Vettori Scoring 33 Runs. Symonds Then Unleashed His Power And His Partner Voges Supported Him Well. Symonds With All His Muscular Power Reached A Half Century While Voges Fell To Patel. The Hitting From Symonds And Pomersbach Got Australia To A Very Good Total Of 186 Runs And A Total They Felt They Can Easily Defend. On The Other Hand, There Was A Lot Of Pressure On New Zealand As They Had To Score At More Than 9 Runs Per Over On The Aussie Soil To Win.

The Aussie Bowling Attack Relied All On Sheer Pace And The Pitch Supported Pace As Well. Lee Started The First Over And Got The Wicket Of Vincent On The Very First Ball. McCullum Hit A Nice Six But Soon Edged One Straight In The Air Which The Aussie Wicketkeeper Caught Pretty Easily. Then We Saw A Really Sick Innings From Jamie How Who Thought He Can Get Through The Early Phase Of The Match Defending And Then Win The Match Like A Superhero. New Zealand Was Eventually Reduced To 31 For 5 With Taylor And Sinclair Both Grabbing Ducks. Styris Hit A Couple Of Nice Boundaries But He Soon Fell To Johnson As Well. Vetorri And Mills Both Scored 3 And 4 Respectively. With Them Going Back To The Pavilion New Zealand Score Was Reduced To 69 For 8 With Australia Eyeing A Pretty Big Win. Oram Th4n Started To Swing Not Worrying About Anything Else Around Him. He Got A Quick Half Century And Finished On 66 Of Just 31 Balls With His Fellow Mates Getting Out While He Remained Not Out.
If Everyone Batted Like Oram Did Then They New Zealand Must Have Got Through But That Was Not The Case. A Very Disciplined Bowling And Batting Performance Gave Australia The Win They So Richly Deserved. It Was The Time For New Zealand To Look Back On The Mistakes They Made And Fix Them.No Doubt That New Zealand Is A Very Good Team At Their Home And Can Matches From Any Situation. They Need To Improve Their Record Away From Home As Well Because The Best Team Is The Team Which Works Collectively To Win And Fight Both Away From Home And At Home As Well!
