Wellington: Clearly the minds of Australian cricketers are elsewhere as they prepare to take on New Zealand in the first Twenty20 international here tomorrow night.On Wednesday, according to the New Zealand Herald, Australian coach Tim Nielsen made a verbal slip-up on arrival when he said: "We haven`t had a lot of sex, um, success over here".
On Thursday, it was vice-captain Michael Clarke who was tongue-tied.
Asked about New Zealand paceman Shane Bond, Clarke said he featured high on their gameplan for tomorrow. How high, we had no idea.
"We`ll have a good look at footage of bondage... ahmm, Bondy," said Clarke, as the guffaws began again.
"``Geez I feel like the coach, what`s going on," he continued with a grin.
Clearly Nielsen had suffered among the team for his slip-up, and as Clarke departed the press conference he knew the same fate would likely befall him.
"Front page, I can see it now...," he said, making a hurried exit.
