FF:NZ Cake Tin Commentary Box

I think we need a proper Sports thread coming into the summer of Cricket and European Rugby tour.

Looks like old Vettori will be OK for the first test.

 

yea... i think he shouold still take it easy for a bit. hes a great bowler (better than Depak Patel (spelling?) i feel, but injuries get a hell of a lot worse if not fixed properly the first time!

...look at Micheal Jones

 

Sports ... YAWN!! Boring!!




Rats! There's no ZZzzzzz face.

 

OK i'd just like to state that where ever we are, no matter what we are doing at 12:00pm tomorrow we make sure that we watch the first session (at least) of the first test against Aussie tomorrow!

Gotta support our boys

BTW: I feel sorry for you Buzz

 

You should feel sorry for me.

My last job was programming binary load lifters ... opps! I mean working for a sports organisation. I was there for about eight years, surrounded by "sports-nuts" - and I've never liked sport and I hated school PE.

?

 

Oh Dear!

Anyhoo for the rest of us...

1st Session today woo hoo!!!

 

I'm with ya SWNZ (sorry Buzz) although I have a class this afternoon, I'll be right behind the boys, hopefully Astle and Cairns can continue their form with the bat.

 

Good luck to the black caps
I will be keeping myself updated over the net until i can get home from work

 

Works shutting down for the first session!!!

Sweeet

 

Got the TV on in my office

Nash, Vettori and Cairns in the bowling lineup. I hope they can all stay in one piece for the match (and season!)...

 

// Looks at scoreboard. One Aussie opener on a century, the other on a half-century //

So, how about those All-Blacks, huh!? Should be a good game this weekend...

 

So, it was 200 / 0 when I left work. I get home and its 270ish for 6.

Yay!

 

What about the LBW calls?

 

Hi! my names Darrell Harper, I'm an Australian.

Didn't end the day too baddly I must say after a bit of a shocker start to the test. Hopefully we can know the tail over in the first session today.

 

Yeah bit of a shock when i got home and saw the score

 

Looks like it will be a draw, which is just fine for us I think. Too bad about the weather.

 

We should draw...
We might lose...
We might win...
We might not...

God I love this game!

Listening on the radio now (no Sky TV), Fleming just been given RUN OUT by the 3rd umpire...

 

10 freakin runs in it!!! what a test. That is cricket at it's people, it doesn't come much better than that.

 

cricket at it's people?
you really are excited.

 

All i can say is congrats to Steve x2 for making a game of it

 

Cricket at it's best!!

 

the funny thing is is that that last day had the most runs scored in a test match for (i forget the time) a damn long time... and it was US batting!

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

I love it when NZ goes out to bat and just slog it round. Bring back Greatbatch. no wait, bring back Danny Morrison!

 

Greatbatch is DA MAN!

1/ he has the best first name ( )

2/ hits a 6 off the first ball of the match!

definitely bring him back.
