    ***Official*** Pakistan in New Zealand 2016/17

    That's a highly respectable career average. It's a very good away average.

    ***Official*** Pakistan in New Zealand 2016/17

    I've logged in for the first time in forever just to say that I think that Williamson decision was total and utter bullshit.

    Final - New Zealand v Australia (29th March)

    A cabal of Australia's most strident, nasal boofheads no doubt. I miss Richie.

    Final - New Zealand v Australia (29th March)

    I told myself after the semi it'd be different this time. It's already our best ever World Cup; there's no pressure, etc. Turns out that was bollocks.

    Final - New Zealand v Australia (29th March)

    New Zealand are going to win today, because we are better than them.

    I hope he's planning to fly that chopper over the MCG today, dropping flour bombs.

    Final - New Zealand v Australia (29th March)

    Honestly, who gives a **** which sport is "bigger". What does that even mean? All I know is that I can't stand eggball and you buggers are fouling up the greatest cricket forum in the world by banging on about it.

    I feel like the only person who likes the new ODI format...

    Some have made the point that the effect of T20 is that batsmen have become more innovative. More canny. Better skilled. The bowlers should adapt or die. But T20 doesn't operate without bowlers, and it's not like they're are standing there saying "well, there is literally no way to counter...

    An eerie likeness.

    Annoying Cricketers

    David Warner. His pedophile mustache, cro-magnon brow, and mindless stare would be enough to condemn him, but the fact he's a complete **** puts him in a league all his own. Virat Kohli's narcissism and new-money vulgarity is only slightly mitigated by his sumptuous strokeplay. The only way he...

    I feel like the only person who likes the new ODI format...

    I think they've got it mostly right. More than anything else I'd like to see bats regulated. I don't mind the power game that exists now, but it really pisses me off when a mistake like an ugly top edge is rewarded with a six. It's not right.

    1st Semi Final - New Zealand v South Africa (24th March)

    What just happened? All day South Africa have looked streets ahead and somehow we won it. I have no words. Except WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Kia kaha to the South Africans, I feel really bad for them. A cruel way to lose when they didn't do much wrong. The rain favoured...

    Every time. Every time. It doesn't matter how good we are, the opposition have someone better.

    1st Semi Final - New Zealand v South Africa (24th March)

    So here's that familiar feeling. Couldn't NZ have played like crap in pool play and saved its fans from the agony of hope?

    4th Quarter Final - New Zealand v West Indies (21st March)

    What do the numbers in circles mean? On last night's game: all the hyperbole and superlatives have been handed out, so I'll not bother with that. An unforgettable experience with all the noise and activity and enthusiasm. I don't think we'll ever see crowds like this for cricket in NZ again...
