The lack of good players is more worrying.

Our player base is so small it's a wonder we're as good as we are.

Everyone quits playing when they leave school.

[Goldo]

Another stunning start to a one dayer, oh lord.

Mohinder Amarnath says a minimum of 270, and ideally a score of over 300, would be needed on this pitch, where scores have been difficult to defend.

Lol. We would be lucky to get to 150, let alone 300+

[Goldo]

My cat could bat better.

We can't buy a win.Hold on. Pakistan are coming.Let me talk to my bookie

Even if they wanted to fix the games, and collapsed for 150 all out, nz would still find a way to lose.

[Zarkov]

Poms are rubbing the salt in.

Love watching Petersen bat.

[Goldo]

Poms are looking pretty hot, two great batting performances in a row.

No full strength beer at Eden Park for the cricket. I'm not going anymore.I need to be absolutely blind drunk at the cricket so I can't see how badly the Blackcaps are doing.

Meanwhile the Aussies are talking an absolute pounding from Pieterson.The commentary box is struggling to stay positive LOL.

A shame Cook couldn't complete the 150 though but gotta love watching Aus perform badly.

Dude that's fucking gay. Concealed hip flask imo.

On that note, I need to buy a hip flask.

I'll still go cause I fucking love cricket.......even if it hurts to watch.

-Vodka infused watermelon FTW

Edit- Good money for rampant Aussie cricket fanbois.Aus paying $85 for the win.Ian Healy,Micheal Slater and Bill Lawry are rushing off to centerbet as I type.

I think the only winner at the moment is Rain.

The oval is pretty much literally next o my work, and it is pouring down here.

[Goldo]

Aus p much can't win from there. 300 run lead with weather predicted to be an issue. Waste of money :|

You work for that gay chatline on Nth Terrace?

I work on Hindley st* mate.

If you know/ knew Hindley, you'd know that's where all the night crawlers work.

*Actually one over from Hindley, but what ever.

215 needed with 7 wickets remaining. Even without Broad bowling the poms should pull it off.

[kilabee]

Aussies are putting on their best rain dance.
Ponting out for fuck all again LOL.

Should be an interesting end to the game. Clarke and hussey are both players who can play big innings when their team needs them, but england have been bowling good. Though I would say their biggest threat is anderson, so if they see him off, they could put some runs up.

What? Anderson. The pitch is turning.Swann is the threat at this stage.Already taken two wickets.

Hmmm, I drive past your work every second Wednesday when I'm driving into city for work.


There's plenty of rain supposed to be on the way tomorrow so I think the Aussies will be able to save this one, but I wonder if they will able to take 20 wickets in any other game in this series. None of our bowlers are doing anything with the ball and just not troubling the Poms when they get settled in.

Is this what it feels like to be a New Zealand cricket supporter?

No.It hurts you more because you're not used to getting an arse pounding every match like we are.

Ponting is near over the hill. If he loses ANOTHER ashes series (ie this one) it could signal the end for him.

fixed. I mean, a Golden duck and 9 runs.. He is doing great so far, but I don't think he will be able to keep up such good work.
