Think this one is being over hyped, think that the Aussie pace attack will scythe through the Kiwis regardless of what total they reach. It's one thing carving England's steady seamers everywhere, it's quite another against high quality fast bowling, that unfortunately the Aussies have stacks of. It would be fair to say that they could field two separate bowling attacks and there would be no great difference in quality - both top class.
Yeah fair enough, but I think my overall point about the Aussie attack was proven? Don't get me wrong I am pleased the Kiwis won, but over the course of a tournament Ithink that that Aussie bowling attack will see them through to some good wins, when their batting under performs (although maybe not as badly as today).
Just realised I'm sitting in front of a derby FC flag ... If we hadn't picked up three points today I'd be feeling a bit more mischievous about that flag

New Zealand win by 1 wicket. What a game.
Expected this game to be a high scoring slug fest with an Aussie win, how wrong I was. Great game of cricket to watch.
