Not that relevant but did you know Bollinger wears a rug?Doug the Rug.I've never noticed before.

Yeah, word on the street is that 3 the aussie test team have other peoples hair on their heads. Ponting, Bollinger and mystery bald man no. 3

I'm watching today to speculate about MBM#3.It will be more entertaining than our batting.

Turned on the radio to listen to the cricket on the way home (having been out of coverage all day) and heard Guptill was in, which didn't seem to bad.  Until it turned out that Guptill was in for the second time today, the first innings have ended for a measly 157.  

Sigh.

Ingram is gone, has to be.  He scored the same as Martin but at a lower strike rate.  Sinclair will be in for the second test.

Agreed.Did not do his chances of test reselection any favours with bat or ball.Unfortunately Tuffey is fuckarweed and up for surgery so we have very little back up so he is likely to be selected.Hopefully a few of the seniors took him aside and gave him a spray after that shot he played.Are you trying to save the test or not you dumb arse?

With Tuffey out it's a perfect excuse to play two spinners.  Jeetan Patel FTW!!!

Other McCullum is nearly as good plus can field and bat better.

Jesus fucken WEPT
So after spending all week telling the world that Kane Williamson was too young (he's not, it's just that we don't want to waste him the way we did with Ken Rutherford), Greatbatch et al go and select him.

What a bunch of fucken morans - it's no wonder New Zealand cricket is in such a crisis.

The best thing about Finance Minister Bill English\'s latest Budget is that it does finally signal a much greater role for the private sector in the New Zealand economy. And another step along the way to extract this country from the political cul-de-sac in which Helen Clark\'s Labour Government parked us.

What have we got to lose by giving him a crack.If he makes a score and maybe chips in with a wicket or two with his part timers think of the confidence boost he will gain.If he gets out for none and takes some tap he can cry along with the senior members who will no doubt be on the receiving end of it as well.Vettori was only 17 when he started wasn't he?

Pathetic effort from NZ today, still can't bat past 4 sessions.

We should have had our foot firmly on their throats, who gives a toss about NZ fastest test ton, I want a win.

Good to see the captain has his priorities right, give up the short form of the game and concentrate on tests, lets see if he carries out his promise

Genuine contenders or another false dawn
So, the mainstream media has listed the Black Caps as "genuine contenders" for the T20 World Cup: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=10642167

Watching them play Sri Lanka yesterday was as painful as it gets. Rather than being genuine contenders, i reckon they will lose to Zimbabwe and be lucky to make it through to the super 8 stage.

I reckon they'll do ok.

20/20 is a bit of a lottery for any team.

We'll see who's right.

I reckon we'll get into the semi finals at least, we have a good squad, especially with Jesse Ryder back.
