Thread for Aus Vs NZ series

[Deep Dey]

Discuss here about Ind vs WI Series,2011 in detail(only international matches(Only TEST))

Series Preview:
The Trans-Tasman neighbours have always had a big-brother little-brother rivalry.They played their 1st Test ever series way back in 1946.Their 2nd Test series was played 27 yrs later in 1973.
Australia have not lost a Test series vs New Zeland since 1985.Infact New Zeland have won only 1 test series vs Australia(min 2 test match series).
New Zeland is the only team who has held Australia to 0-0 draw in Australia(min 2 test match series). It was way back in 2001.
Currently, These two teams are filled with plenty of youngsters.Although New Zeland is ranked 8th in ICC ranking, both these teams are equally capable of beating each other,considering the fact that Australia have huge injury problems and they are going through a transition period.
Moreover, this series is important for the legend Ricky Ponting.Will this be his last series???Will he be retained again if he fails here also??? Moreover Career of Haddin is on the line.Lots of question to be answered in this Series.
Since the series is being held in Australia,they are favourites, but New Zeland are not far behind and could be making a history.
New Zeland have not won a Test Match vs Australia since 1993.
On Behalf of Cricism,All The Best To Both The teams.

Curious for Viru's reply

[Raminder]

ausssie will win!

[Raminder]

good to see ponting playing well!

[Raminder]

happy with lyon too!

[Deep Dey]

ausssie will win!

But I am disappointed with Hughes and Warner

Warner scores runs for club teams but when he bats vs international teams he fails(all format).
Thats unaccpetable

[Raminder]

i think huges will play better later...and yea i agree warner's form for australia is pretty bad...!
plays well for NSW..but not for AUS! ..damn bad!
