    Something about the bowler having to do another squat.

    Haha, Bruce's first boundary in internationals is a big dirty slog. He looks a pretty decent bat though.

    I was at the Wellington - Canterbury T20 at the Basin today. Nicholls batted well.

    4 Day Tests The Way To Go

    I wouldn't call myself a traditionalist. I've found a lot to like about various innovations over the years, especially the 3rd umpire. On the other hand I don't particularly like T20, or rate Hawkeye and the fiddly rules around it. I think day/night tests will lose their lustre, but remain a...

    4 Day Tests The Way To Go

    For an ordinary punter like me it is, but the folk that matter are way more interested in TV viewing figures.

    That's one word that comes to mind for me. "Complacent" is another.

    It's the active form of a verb that also means a small body of flowing water.

    If Sky and Radio Sport commentary were both actually live, I'd happily mute the TV and just listen to the radio. It's worth it just for Jeremy Coney.

    Oh come on mods, this filtering is ridiculous.

    4 Day Tests The Way To Go

    I can't speak for other countries, but this simply isn't the case here in NZ. There's plenty of interest in tests (media coverage, cultural and general awareness, social and 'water cooler' discussion, etc) and attendance is generally good. What is obvious is that all sports in this country have...

    What's embarrassing is you and your attitude. If you can't make a point without insulting other posters you should at least go do it on reddit or 4chan.

    It'd be no great surprise if most international sides struggled against IPL teams, which can potentially field four of the best foreign players in the world as well as any number of Indian stars. It'd be kind of like most international football teams playing Barcelona.

    It would be nice to see more games up there - the pavilion at Cobham looks picturesque :) Just remembered that Guns n Roses are playing at the Cake Tin on the night of the 2nd, which explains why Wellington missed out on a Chappell-Hadlee game.

    One of the commentators - I think it was Scott Styris - had an interesting theory that they were deliberately placed in from the boundary to cut off 2s. Not sure how true it was, but I couldn't believe that the Sky commentary team had actually offered some insight on something related to...

    They'd better turn up to the Oz game - I'm a bit annoyed that Wellington missed out.
