Roebuck picks New Zealand ....

[Richard]

At the split of opinions here - almost as good as that Simon Barnes thingy a week or so back.

 

[Zinzan]

And there is a preference to use as few threads as possible, because of the bandwidth reality.

"Coming soon: the Stop Wasting Our Bandwidth With Stupid Twenty20 Threads Thread"

To take a very strict ruling, you could have posted this on the not-exactly-buzzing NZ Black Caps thread.

Good to see Jono and a few others aside from Richard and Barney don't think this is a wasted thread.

As far as adding this to the existing Black caps thread, point taken, but you could say that about almost every other thread in this "WC 2007" section.

 

[Richard]

Indeed you could and given that most of those threads have 40 or 50 replies in a whole 9 months or so, I'd say a good amount of the threads we do have should have been.

FTR, I don't think this article being for discussion is wrong (even if it could have been put in another thread), unlike Master Pitt.

 

[Natman20]

Well if you really believe that, you should put your money where your mouth is because some bookies are paying as high as 11/1 on NZ

Good money spent IMO

 

[Richard]

I think NZ has the best chance to win the wc.

Just spotted that!

That'll probably be up for the Greigy sometime!

In fact, now that I think about it...
Should have been put in the Australia Thread:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
Should have been put in the England Thread:
1, 2.
Should have been put in the India Thread:
1, 2, 3, 4.
Should have been put in the New Zealand Black Caps Thread:
1, 2, 3.
Should have been put in the Pakistan Thread:
1, 2 (although granted it is a poll), 3, , 4.
Should have been put in the Sri Lanka Thread:
1.
Should have been put in the South Africa Thread:
1.
Should have been put in the West Indies Thread:
1.

And at that... ??? ?????

And amazing how many duplicate threads there are, actually, looking back through the forum...
... & ...
... & ... & ...
... & ...

And all sorts of stuff along these lines.

More later...

I just can't begin to imagine how bored you must have been, Richard.

 

[Craig]

Hahaha fair effort Richard.

I feel you're pain/anger/frustration.

 

[BoyBrumby]

The same applies to all sports - who can tell me that David Pleat deserves his place on the ITV commentary team? He can't even pronounce anyone's name properly.

Oh, come on, the man's a legend. Not only was he was caught kerb-crawling, but he also once ran onto the pitch convulsing like a particularly high-strung epileptic with an electrical current being run through them in a cheap, nasty, dog-turd brown polyester suit when (Boo!) Luton stayed up. I fail to see how anyone could be better qualified.

Plus, of course, he's an adonis:

 

[Richard]

And when I first read BR's post I thought he was saying David Platt...

 

[Richard]

I feel you're pain/anger/frustration.

Just imagine what it'll be like come the end of the forum...

Hahaha fair effort Richard.

I just can't begin to imagine how bored you must have been, Richard.

It took, what, 5 minutes?
