Champions Trophy 2013: rain adds to Australia anguish as match with New Zealand is abandoned Australia were looking at a hat-trick of own goals when Bailey came in to bat at 10 for two wickets: a total of 65 against India, Warner's omission for indiscipline, and their first defeat by New Zealand in a global tournament since 1999. But his captain's innings of 55 turned the tide and, even though the match was abandoned as a "no result," he kept his country in the Champions Trophy - and away from complete ridicule. In a magnificent display of temperament Bailey made the early running with his cool head and clear calling, and he did not let new bowlers settle, slog-sweeping Nathan McCullum's first ball then straight-driving two fours off Tim Southee's first over. The only thing Bailey did not do was go on. As against England, he was dismissed for 55, bowled behind his legs. But he had pulled Australia together, and Adam Voges's strong-driving 71 off 76 balls took them to a total of 243 for eight that would have been highly defendable if rain had not intervened when five more overs were needed for a conclusive result. Bailey was justified in saying: "I thought we had what was just over a par score." One point each leaves Australia needing to beat Sri Lanka in their final game to have a chance of qualifying. But without their captain standing up when they were looking down the barrel, they would not still be in the Champions Trophy.
