This is the 1st of 5 ODI's played between New Zealand and Australia in March of 2005. Enjoy this bloody thrilling game with a 30 minute highlight package :)
Billy Bowden's shoddy umpiring did cost NZ this game. Hayden and Symonds benefitted from Bowden's shoddy umpiring decisions early in their innings. Or else NZ would have chased 170-180. Vettori was absolutely brilliant with ball, Marshall with bat.
I must admit I thought Stephen Fleming was out as soon as I saw it. A few months after this one day series, Australia would get belted everywhere by KP in the one dayers and the solitary T20 game against England. Then the great 2005 Ashes series after that.
Look alikes Ricky Ponting Australia & Nathan Astle New Zealand Stephen Fleming & Roger Twose New Zealand Damien Fleming & Jason Gillespie New Zealand Mark Gillespie Shane Bond James & Hamish Marshall former Black Caps .
Hayden & Symonds was plum LBW by Daniel Vettori bad decisions by Billy Bowden in 2005 DRS was not yet there for shoddy umpiring decisions.😢 great 👌 that this technology came .
