The Second Match Of The Chappal-Hadlee Series Was Washed Out
Due To Rain. The Tour Was Not Going Well For The Kiwis. In The Second Match As
Well, Kiwis Lost Wickets Upfront But Rain Was Their Saviour. Out Of The Three
Matches That The Kiwis Had Played On This Tour, They Had Lost 2 Of Them And Had
One Washed Out Due To Rain. The Third ODI Was The Last Of The Series And The Tour.
Kiwis Would Surely Want To Get Some Pride Home. It Was A Very Tough Task To
Claim A Victory In The Last Match As The Kiwis Were Outmatched Everytime They
Played Aussies On This Tour.
Australia Batted First In The Last ODI. Clarke And Hayden
Came As Openers. Kiwis Got The Early Success They Wanted By Getting The Wicket
Of Clarke, He Edged One Straight In The Air And Gave The Wicketkeeper An Easy
Catch. With His Wicket, Ponting Cane To The Crease. Hayden And Ponting Started
To Get The Partnership Going. They Played Their Shots Freely And Got Australia
Safely To Fifty Mark Without Any Further Loss Of Wickets. Hayden Fell After
That For 29 Of 32 Balls. His Innings Consisted Of 4 Boundaries. Oram Soon
Grabbed The Key Wicket Of Hussey – He Scored 9 Runs With 1 Boundary. Symonds
And Ponting Got A Good Partnership Going. They Lifted The Run Rate. Symonds
Soon Got His Fifty. He Was Soon Given LBW- He Scored 52 Of 63 Balls With 4
Boundaries. Haddin And Hopes Played Cameo Innings Scoring 26 And 20
Respectively But The Main Highlight Of The Innings Was Ricky Ponting Who Scored
134 Runs And Remained Not Out-He Smashed 10 Fours And 2 Sixes.

Australia Scored 281 Runs Which Was A Good Score To Defend.
McCullum And H[ow Came To Open For New Zealand. Chasing A Wide Ball Resulted In
McCullum’s Demise. Bret Lee Got The Wicket Of How As Well And New Zealand Were
Reduced To 8 For 2. Loosing Wickets At Crucial Times Was The Story Of Their
Whole Tour. A Partnership Started To Flow Between Sinclair And Styris. But As I
Mentioned That Sinclair Was Hit Plumb In The Pad By Hopes. Taylor Came And Went
After Scoring 13 Runs. The Problem With New Zealand Was That They Were Not
Getting Partnership Going On This Tour. Oram, Hopkins And Vettori Followed
Taylor To The Dressing Room.
Styris Continued To Smash Boundaries, He Was The Only
Batsman Left Who Could Earn New Zealand Some Pride. A Stunning Yorker From Tait
Sent Mills Packing. New Zealand Were Reduced To 118 For 8. Gillespie Joined
Styris On His Quest To Hit Boundaries. They Started To Find The Bundaries But
Soon Styris Was Clean Bowled By Lee. Gillespie Didn’t Last Long As Well And
Gave A Simple Catch To Symonds. Australia Won The Match 114 Runs And Ricky
Ponting Was Awarded The Man Of The Match. New Zealand Were Completely Outplayed
On This Tour By The Aussies, They Simply Had No Answer To The Superb Aussie
Side!
