Recycle your red poppies, paint them white, and wear them throughout the year.

What got me with that false catch was Hughes knew it dropped short, you could see it on his face, he was all like awww that was close, but he then jumped around like he got it.

Not one commentator called him on it

How good is Kallis's form atm

Yea Kallis is playing very well and is the only reason S.A are getting a good amount of runs on the board.

England taking extra time on Day 4 of the test to try and pick up the last 3 aussie wickets. Love it.

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.

Humiliating Ashes series for Australia.Worst ever.Only the second time in test history a team has lost 3 tests in a series by an innings.Gotta hurt.

They need to bring out the big broom and give some dead wood the flick.Ponting for starters.Give the captaincy to Hussey as he is the only automatic selection in the side IMO and get some young blood in there.Take a couple of years of average results on the chin while you rebuild and then it may turn around.Hopefully in this time NZ can give you a pounding while this is happening as well.......(dreams are free )

Not the way NZ are playing at the moment.

Pretty disappointed tbh.

McCullum was lucky to last as long as he did.

It is a five day game isn't it?

That was just poor. I mean pakistan with asif and aamer, bowling us out cheaply is understandable. Without them, it is just embrassing.

Good fight shown by the black caps to get through to 350.Young had a good knock and well done to Martin seeing off a few deliveries to support Vettori through to a well earned 100.Guptill wears the dunce cap for his first innings dismissal.  i am jnot sure if 350 is enough but I'll take it after being 180 odd for 6.

Off to the Nets now to get some bruises....and dish some out to the boys lol

Good on vettori for showing the much more talented batsmen, a thing or two about grafting runs. Sometimes it is worrying, to see how few 100s nz top order seem to be able to score.

Jesus fucken wept. I'm just watching Martin bowling half-trackers downwind at 128kph. Retire, you fuck. And while i'm at it, when did Southee lose 10kph? I see someone's turned him into another NZ "military medium".

Are you ever happy with anything tofu? Or is this also part of Henrys plan to fuck up life as we know it in ALL NZ sports?
