Haddin's movement behind the stumps is pretty good given how old he is.

Not a fan of Haddin the person but he's a top keeper.

In the whitewash to whitewash book he's listed as a huge part of Australia's turnaround with his personality off the field helping out Clarke.

warne's commentary is so unbelievably one-eyed its painful to listen to

You have a point - he's not giving NZ anywhere near enough credit, with their 3.6 run rate in a WC final.

I like big bats and I cannot lie
Other bowlers can deny
but when guptil walks in with an itty bitty splice
and a thick edge you get stung

webmeister: Jan 31, 2007; The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

Looking like a 250 score from here, could make for an interesting chase
