Sydney, Saturday 22 August - Bledisloe Cup
McAlister to wave Giteau through inside the first five minutes…
McAlister to throw an intercept to Barnes around the 20 minute mark….
McAlister to suffer a recurrence of his back spasms and leave the field after 25 minutes. Donald comes on at first five, Carter to 2nd and Donald promptly kicks out on the full. Wallabies drive the lineout ball for their third try.
AB’s stage second half revival but only convert one (by Carter) of their many breaks. Carter kicks 6 penalties and no conversions from 10 attempts.
Final Score: Wobblies 25 Carter 23.
Crossing now to Sri Lanka, where the home team declares at 600 – 6. Unbelievably NZ batsmen fail to pick the doosra out of the hand and are forced to follow on. Black Caps lose by an innings and 320 runs.

Let's wait and see on the Bledisloe Cup. It is actually being played on my birthday so I have asked for an Australian humiliation as the perfect present.
In the meantime, things in NZ cricket aren't looking as disastrous as you predicted. Still pretty bad though so I think we can keep the faith in your prediction of a stiff beating.
Did you notice how there have been no further comments from me about the Ashes? I knew it was a mistake to tease Ponting in my earlier post and now he will make us all pay.
