interesting game - australia very much on the rise after years of terrible results and nz starting to wane (despite their brief resurgence in 92 world cup). nz bowling looks pedestrian except for hadlee. that lbw was a shocker! thank god for neutral umpires

Hadlee never carried on like a porkchop like Warne, McGrath, Matthews and others. He was a gentleman. He only got slagged by the Australian crowds because they simply couldn't handle how good he was. In the late 80s he was far superior to any Australian bowler and, of course, this hurt the Australians. Hence, the chant.

I absolutely agree with you mate!

I think this was the last season the Kiwis wore the beige in anger. This was also the tour where Hadlee copped the "Hadlee's a wanker chant" thats why he was trying to make up to the crowd at the end.

I'm not sure Dyer caught half of those - just like the Boxing day test.

Stupid Umpire! How can he not call that LBW!

And Hadlee had Deano's measure pretty much all of that summer too.

New Zealand......where the men are men and the sheep are nervous!! By the way, NuXta.....SCOREBOARD, mate!

So, with no prior knowledge of the game or basis for reasoning, you decide to brand one of its legends as a wanker.Sigh... thanks for your contribution.

Hadlee had to laugh at the ump- incompetent at the very least; and a cheat- probably. And I agree with you hsv941200 too- beautifully put.
