New Zealand beat Australia GREAT FINISH Melbourne 2004 1st Chappell/Hadlee match

[timchrist984]

This was the first game of cricket i ever saw live!! Back when Etihad Stadium was Telstra Dome.

[TopGearDog431]

do you have the tied odi between australia and england at lords in 05??

[CricketTeam123]

Go NZ !!!!!!

[debbider]

Losing to NZ in rugby is acceptable,losing to NZ in cricket is unacceptable

[OneFootThumper]

@debbider Vice versa mate :)

[Jahpokerplaya]

well bowled well played....

[TheBlairski]

its amazing how when this happened 12 from 10 with 4 wickets left seemed almost impossible and with the introduction of t/20 cricket it should be done in a cricketers sleep.

[DodgyNZ]

32 to win...achieved in 16 balls.

not exactly what I'd call BLASTING IT.

[cricketmad27]

@DodgyNZ strike rate of 200 is blasting it buddy

[DodgyNZ]

@cricketmad27 in a 50 over match, maybe... but this was a t20.

[reubenw59]

@DodgyNZ clearly this wasn't a T20, it was 2004. T20's didn't come in till 05' and the chappell/hadlee series is a 50 over contest

[cricketmad27]

@DodgyNZ except it wasn't. this was a 50 over game. and a strike rate gives you a score of 240 in 20 overs and that is more than blasting it.

[Joelberg11]

@DodgyNZ you fool

[pubuman]

@DodgyNZ You are a fucking dumb cunt!

[DodgyNZ]

@pubuman Hey pubeman... the description says "McCullum BLASTS the Kiwis home". In those three overs McCullum faces 12 balls, 3 of which are boundaries... total runs 19... s/r 158.33 - oh yeah he smashed them home.

If you want smashing watch Gayle, Gambir, or Afridi and stop over sensatioanlising mediocrity.

[MidasStorm]

@DodgyNZ That's 12 an over. Not a bad run rate.

[BIGDAZR]

I was at this game what night seeing sinclair catch was amazing

[thatguyyouknow2]

"there'll be a few television sets smashed in New Zealand if they don't win it from here..." oh how I miss Bill Lawry....

[12345678983539]

thanks for sharing....

[12345678983539]

wonderful commentry by great "BILL LAWRY"

[EdogawaConanism]

LOL after the 3rd ball of the last over the commentator said''There will be a few television sets smashed in new zealand if you don,t win this one from here''.

[punjabigundaa]

miss lee charging in and scaring the shit out of the batsman.

[9stairz]

Haha. I remember how fired up I was after watching this live.

[squadlyfer111]

Whish they still held cricket games at Etihad Stadium to me this is the best cricket ground in the world

[tv240]

Dear uploader. Can you post the full match highlights please,please? I have been waiting for this match for a very long time.

[wandaimable]

Great stadium under roof, great out field, great day nighter, great athletes between the wickets, in the field and in the dug out  in the open and two classic commentators in Lawry and Smith. Perfect way to play and end a cricket match. Just perfect.

[HemantBrar2]

After the first ball of the last over, the commentator says, "We have seen a great catch tonight". Which catch, anyone please? Rob, you must be having that too.

[robelinda2]

@HemantBrar2 The Sinclair catch, its all over youtube.

[HemantBrar2]

@robelinda2

Oh I didn't know it was Sinclair catching Hayden. That was the catch.

[Ryanj37]

@robelinda2 its not the sinclair catch, that was in the 00/01 vb series unless im very much mistaken

[robelinda2]

@Ryanj37 The Sinclair catch was in this very match.

[StonyGrangey]

@robelinda2 Yeah it was definitely Sinclair's catch, Hayden off the bowling of Oram. This was a MEAN match

[assamchild]

@robelinda2 grt match



[Crkt4Eva]

I remember watching this live on Sky Sports back in the day, two great ODI's (both going to the end) in this 3 ODI series, each nation winning one a piece going in to the third with all to play for then the 3rd & last ODI is washed out, now that was a bad ending to this good series.

[TomAraya23]

that year 2004 december was a great month for me

and this series was on at the time.the game was super!!!

[harmeetvirk23]

who won the series guys?

[robelinda2]

@harmeetvirk23 tied one all, one game was washed out.

[TomAraya23]

[gunot5827]

[madaboutsleep]

Ah yes - Casper the friendly bowler.

[diaboles]

[smity11100]

I remember this so well!! I reckon they should still play some games at docklands- odi's and t20's. Would stop rain delays
