a great game with a sad ending alas. with everyone except ricky ponting (haha) recognising that the momentum was with the kiwis. on the result though, such is cricket. aussie were saved on this occasion but on another day it might have been nz or any other international team. i wonder if cricket will go the way of some other sports and have covered stadiums.
