New Zealand had 3 century makers.
Nathan Hauritz took 4 wickets.
Jesse Ryder made 1 hundred in first class cricket.
And Australia won 2 nil.
That is the series in numbers, but it was so much less than that.
For those of you who didn’t see it, the vocal 92%, here it is in snappy sentences.
The IOB replacement, Brent Arnel, looked as dependable as your dad’s old ford, but no where near as exciting.
Ryan Harris bustled in like the term was invented for him, but while he took wickets, he didn’t look as penetrating as he had in ODIs.
Vettori did everything, again, but it was not enough, it is never enough.
Prince Brendon has now made two test hundreds against legitimate opposition, but still thinks he can cut it as a batsmen only.
Mitchell Johnson ended a disappointing time for him with a pair and a ten wicket haul.
Jeets continued to look good without taking wickets.
Marcus North has marked his name down for the first Ashes test even though he had to bat with Steve Smith draped on his shoulders.
Ross Taylor played one of the best IPL audition innings ever.
BJ Watling can field, pause, that is all.
Simon Katich really hates Kiwis.
Australia has now won their last 6 test matches against teams ranked 6th, 7th & 8th according to the ICC boffins.
And Michael Clarke had some personal problems.
New Zealand had 2 century makers

Jeetan Patel is so shit I think even I could score some runs against him, and I am notorious in local club cricket for finding new and inventive ways to look like a dickhead getting out to bad spinners.
He makes Ray Price look like a fucken god of spin bowling, and Paul Harris like a dangerous prospect.
Nothing about Martin? His bowling may be shit but he’s batting like he did when he was 20.

@Leg Break. New Zealand did have three century makers Taylor, McCullum and Vettori (playing his hundredth test)
LB – Dan scored a century of test caps
Has Clarke had some personal problems? Jeez, I must have missed that.

“And Michael Clarke had some personal problems”
Now, that’s completely made up!!
firstly, good one that abt Bolly goes green. Hilarious!
secondly, Kiwis cant play test cricket. You know that yourself.

umm i think ever since the sania-shoaib news emerged, this series should have been cancelled so that appropriate time could be devoted to its coverage. but then again, other than vettori’s parents no one else was watching this as it is

Thus ended the Aussie Summer Goodwill calender. Next up, the Aussie Minnows Charity Tour. *yaawn*
@ Thiru Cumaran, that s obviously some one else dude. Men like Nannes dont need no dentists.
That s because his mom taught him to floss everyday
Steve Smith is the brother of Jarro Kimber

what about Matthew Sinclair? He was phenomenal with that catch
I watched an awful lot of it, but felt more like extended massage than a proper volcanic self adjustment.
Didn’t even bother to watch the 3 min daily highlights on cricketcrowd. The Circus has made me comfortably numb. Is this the defining moment?
I don’t really understand how MJ had a disappointing time up till his ten for. He was the leading bowler in the one day series by quite some distance, the only 20/20 he played he got MOTM and there was only two test matches played. Have I missed something?
hey Guru, what entice you to post an article. This article was extremely interesting, especially since I was searching for thoughts on this subject last Thursday.
