[Prince EWS]

Every time Kyle Mills takes a wicket, where ever I am in the world, I will stand up and belt out the chorus of Ol' Man River. Guaranteed.

Bloody Valentines day, I'll have to get up early to make pancakes so I can drink beer and watch cricket all day.

 

[BeeGee]

So pumped about this, but man, this World Cup is going to mess with my sleeping patterns something shocking. Saturday's game starts at 1am my time, that's pretty much the worst possible time for an ODI to start. This is a weekend game so it's not so bad, but when weekday games come along its going to be such a mission.

It's perfect for me. Day games start at 3pm and D/N at 6pm.

We're a day behind so I can take the missus out on Saturday without missing the game.

Everything's coming up BeeGee.

Likewise, but I'm going to record the game in full.

I doubt I'll be able to resist a sneaky few looks at Cricinfo and CW while I'm at work, though.

NZ will destroy SL unless Malinga does something special.

Hook me up with sky tv or wifi in taihape and I'll watch

Oh thats awesome. I can watch it on the TV instead of my PC/tablet.

Nah and I'll be busy all day anyway so I'll have to base all my expert opinions on infrequnt score checks on my phone

 

[Greenlite]

Does Prime have HD like TV1-3? sky cable is old fashioned for HD TV until April I heard, unless you have MYskyhd

Are you serious mate? You're the most prolific Kiwi poster of the forum & you're not going to be watching NZ's opening game of the cricket WC? Just seems bizarre.

Even if you don't have sky (which is bizarre enough), you don't have a mates house or a pub to watch it?

 

[Daemon]

Isn't it great that blocky isn't here to ruin the world cup for everyone

And he's moving to Hamilton. Worst bloke.

I have been saying that this is the most excited I have been about a World Cup since '99, but I'm going to change that to 'ever'. I can't wait. Bring on tomorrow.

I think he's probably just at work or busy moving or something. I doubt he'd just decide cbf.

Feel a bit like a kid on Christmas eve.

Most grounds should be close to full capacity as I'm sure we'll see classes and classes of Kiwi school kids filling up the seats waving flags of other countries =D

By the way since it's going to drizzle tomorrow morning and provide some swing, my seam attack will be Trent Boult, Trent Boult, and Trent Boult

seamers will be
southee, boult and milne

seamers should be

southee, boult, McClenaghan
