That's all we have here. I will leave you with Nick's words: "Story of NZ. Watch any game between them and aus and they always give you that today they finally gonna beat aus but in the end they just kill it. 2003 wc where Bond was all over them and we thought we finally gonna win the wc but NZ will never change. It's frustrating to be nz fan" Cheers

David Hussey: "We left it a little late. Full credit to Aaron Finch. I thought Jamie How played very well, but Aaron Finch perhaps topped him. Still yorkers not executed well, but we were a better team than the other day. Points on the board, that's big."

Jamie How is not happy: "We lost it in the field, a couple of dropped chances, a couple of misfields. You can't do that with a quality side. Patch performance. better than the last game, but we are here to win games..."

Aaron Finch is the Man of the Match. He says, "We knew we needed a good start. Fortunately we got a few early. We nearly left it a little too late. But we got over the line. If you don't get there, you think twice about that [the run-out of Wade], so it did affect me."

Jamie How hasn't still recovered. Still on his haunches. Then the handshakes. Then the huddle. Another tight contest between a Kiwi and an Aussie team. Third in these two weeks. They invariably manage this. CIA, meanwhile, has an interesting observation: "Congrats to the Vics and Aaron Finch. What an innings. I was also wondering if you noted, as I did, that the batsmen, McDonald particularly, actually thought they had one more run to score. I saw McDonald gesturing questioningly to the umpires as the announcer dude shouted out about the win" Hmm...

it's been two-a-ball for a long time now

What a finish we have set up here. You can be heroes...
