if he did come back he would probably just get slapped to the fence and then everyone will jump on his back

anyone seen his new show on Prime TV

WARNEY! lol

[kilabee]

He would be an idiot to come back.
Unless
-he can bowl as well as he did in his prime.If he bowls mediocre and gets slapped it would be a major dent in his legacy.
-he can smooth things over with Ponting.He slagged his captaincy big time after the Indian series.
-he can have back up from the other end. Lee?

I don't see any of the above happening but if it did and the aussies took the next game it would make for an awesome series.

[MattaH]

Bowled for 103, for fuck sake!

[toofast]

Atleast we can pretend we are a good test team now, with the two draws in the series.

[Spork]

As far as Warney goes, Muhammad Ali came back one too many times as well.

Schumacher's comeback has hardly been a success either.

When you have such a huge name as these people do (Warney a LOT less so really) it's really disappointing to see them so greedy that they feel they need to make a comeback. I don't care that they are bored, when you are a legacy, you should not tarnish your name by being so stupid.

That scorecard is beyond humiliating.I think cricket fans will send these chumps a message by not parting with any hard earned dollars to watch them against the Paki's.
How much do Taylor and Mills get paid.I am pretty fucking sure I could get out there and score 9 runs and bowl one over for fifteen runs to scoop there pay packets. Is there a more overpaid under performing team in world sport than these guys at the moment? I can't think of one.

[maorifulla]

Black caps are a fucking joke

I thought we had some pretty shit teams in the early 90s but at least those teams showed some heart and had a few leaders

should have put the womens team out there. I hope the Pakis fucken thrash them

[Ngati_Grim]

They're of the 'kiwisport' generation...

[maorifulla]

lol just go out there and have fun!

Paki bookies are gonna struggle to try and make a paki loss look legit

National Bank Summer of Fail, Match fixing fuckheads Vs. NZ under 11 cricket team.

True.

No Zarkov dollars this year.

I am going to go and watch Auckland vs Paki's 20/20 at Colin Maiden Park on the 23rd. That should give me my cricket* fix .
I wonder if I can take a chillibin for the bank like in the olden days?









* 20/20 is not really cricket.

[MattaH]

I'll probably go to the t20 in christchurch, but next summer really needs a good team to visit not the bangers or pakis again.

[Ngati_Grim]

But Matt, they ARE good teams compared to the Slack Chaps!

[MattaH]

I know but the bangers were here summer 08-09 and last year and the pakis were here 09-10 (I also know that was a home series for them cos oakistan is a terrorist hellhole) and coming this summer.

tldr: I want Sri Lanka tour next summer.

[toofast]

SL were here not too long ago. What about the south africans or the english. That being said, we are both a poor country and bad at cricket, so its going to be hard to get any of the top teams here. Wouldn't mind seeing a triangle series between WI pak and NZ. See who is the worst of the worst.

[MattaH]

According to the ICC schedule after the World Cup we tour Zimbabwe, then tour aussie, then host Zimbabwe, then host Safrica.

[Zarkov]

Scratch numbers 1 and 3.

[kilabee]

Mugabe has selected himself at first drop?

[SteddieEddie]

I can only just stomach watching them from the comfort of home, let alone paying to see them live.

Oh well, least we have the ashes to enjoy

I've burned my tickets....

[Zarkov]

Oh no!

Aussie are 33/3 at the Waca.

[Scunner]

Without the review system, we could have been 4 wickets down.

Just as I type this the 4th wicket falls, even after a review. :...
