Heef Channels the Likely Lads (aka NZ vs. Aus replay)

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Early sighting of Danny V. Decent start - definitely bowling to his field. Needed to stem the run rate a bit and he's doing so. Lovely stuff from the old timer.

How can you watch a full match replay when the 100 overs haven't been completed yet..

All very mysterious.

Well, they must have been completed as this is on the channel that the live match was on. Wife was watching the match whilst I was painting windows and she paused live TV at the start of the replay. Really isn't that hard to do - though it relies on my wife not giving the game away, so to speak - so I'd better not piss her off.

Is it just me or or is there something fundamentally wrong with this scenario??

Spoilers to Date: I clicked on 'new posts' to see that something must have happened to McCullum's arm. Trying to work out what it could be

1. Infected tattoo
2. Burst bicep
3. Dislocated shoulder going for a massive hit
4. Michael Clarke told him to expect a ****ing broken arm and duly delivered
5. Sore arm after having to carry away yet another oversized cheque when he won the Man of the Match award.
6. Arm eaten by Ian Smith in post match interview.

She was having to baby wrangle to be fair, and she was window-painting before the match whilst baby was asleep.

She's not in the kitchen?

Commentary Box to date:

Australians: 4 (Waugh, Slater, Warne, someone else (Moody?))
Kiwis: 2 (Smith, Doull)
Neutral: Nil

Disappointing

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Boult and Vettori bowling quite well in tandem. Run rate has slowed significantly. Interesting that Warner hasn't really looked to hit Vettori over the top with only 2 fielders outside of the ring. Not sure that'd be the case if Finch was still out there.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Lovely pull shot from Watson there - as much as I hate to say it.

70 - 1 for Australia after 11. Very good start there, given how much run rates have increased in the late overs. Should be a basis for a good total if they can keep wickets in hand.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Southee back into the attack, and things haven't improved since his first spell. Pull yourself together, Tim.

Heef, are you feeling the pressure to keep commentating

Heef, are you feeling the pressure to keep commentating

Not too much, because I pretty much can't open any other website for fear of spoilers. Was just about to check the news headlines in the UK, but thought this match still might just about be a contender for Saturday morning headlines.

i.e. I've not got other things to occupy my evening internet surfing experience, so I may as well commentate on a game that every other ****er has already seen the result of. At least it's better than painting windows.

you're in for a cracker. enjoy.

It's a bit grim anyway

HAHAHAHAHA. Shane Watson, you knob.

Dear oh dear oh dear. Shame this ground's too small to have people caught regularly in the outfield.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

What, what? Warner Lbw? Looked as if it was heading over to me - he was up on his toes a bit and hit him at the top end of the knee roll.

EDIT: Hmmm. On the 2nd view, short guy - might be clipping the top and will remain out.

 

[Immenso]

How will you be able to see out of your windows once you've painted them? Or are you using clear coloured paint?

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Stays out. A few boos from the crowd for Warner - big wicket that though and Southee strikes back after poor first spell. Warner undone by a little seam movement, perhaps?

Painting them for a blackout for inevitable Russian and/or ISIS invasion.

Stadium Music Update: 4 Non Blondes What's Up seems an odd choice. Where are the Kiwi/Aussie classics?

Commentators updates: Now Brett Lee, Allan Border and some chump called Alan Wilkins

Australia: 6
NZ: 2
Other: 1

Why the imbalance between Australian and NZ commentators? Is that C9 **** Jack McNamara in control here?
