@majorrage said in Black Caps vs Windies 1st Test:
When you win the toss you always bat. Unless the wickets green, it's overcast and all the conditions are great for bowling. In which case you think about it then bat.
Steve Waugh, I think ...
I though it was one of the Marsh brothers or maybe Border but it was before Steve Waugh.

@hooroo probably ... I credit Steve Waugh with everything
He would have just made it cooler....

@majorrage this
CdG is fucking shit, and it's an embarrassment he's bowling first change. And if he's first change, why the fuck do you bowl first??
-
@mariner4life dunno ... but it's 11:10pm and I'm bored shitless and debating chucking it in.
Forgot how boring test cricket is when it's your only focus

Looks like James Blunt in the crowd
The way the games going so far perhaps he'd be more entertaining?
I hate James Blunt.
Not as much as Ed Sheeran but.

@majorrage the Ashes thread shows why non-cricket people battle with test cricket. Every summer the test threads devolve from talking about the game to making up bullshit arbitrary XIs and arguing about the same bullshit. And then MN5 will start talking about all rounders and flogging himself over Chris Cairns' hairy chest. Every summer. Same shit.

Selectors deserve a kicking.
CdG is just such a nothing selection - they can't believe he's ever going to be the sort of bowler that's going to have us soaring up the rankings and beating the likes of the Aussies consistently?
It's like picking Gavin Larsen. Wait....

Chris Cairns is one of our greatest ever players and a terrific fudge Packer who was never proven to have cheated. There's nothing not to love.

@mn5 follow him on twitter and be ready to change your mind.
Blunt is s genius
I'm sure he's a great bloke but his music is the worst kind of fucken sappy shit imaginable. Most of my favourite musos sound like absolute fluffybunnies personality wise. Go figure.

@mariner4life to be fair last 10 balls we've had a top edge 6 and now a straight ball right in the cock.
So it's a bit more interesting

@chris-b it completely is. What is he there for? If his test average was higher than his bowling speed i could fathom that he is there for runs and to rest the quicks. But it's not. And he's bowling first change. It's just muddled thinking.
Wagner is best at wearing batsmen down. CdG bowls at just above leg spin pace. Tell me again why we are bowling? Muddled selections, muddled tactics. It's like the entire NZC organisation has given up on test cricket.
