@booboo I find it amusing the way we as sports fans can hold grudges for so long.

I am trying to think of the all time great NZ grudges - under arm bowl, that French forward pass, Dennis Connor...

3rd Test vs The Lions this year, the accidental offside that wasnt..

2nd test vs The Lions this year, the penalty for jumping into the tackler...

Grrr

I wonder in years to come if they will be individual grudges or if they will merge into a generic grudge against French refs.

Fuck I hate the French

Meanwhile, the dead rubber is underway here in Christchurch, and the weather is adequate at best.

Neil Broom is a cricketing retard. Guide it on purpose to slips once... you are a fool... do it twice and you should be dropped form top flight cricket for a loooong time.

[Mokey]

26/3, yikes. Also, what the fuck is Neil Broom doing in the starting line up???

[No Quarter]

Insightful analysis from Rigor: "once people put Umbrella's up that means it's raining".

[Chris B.]

This second coming of Broom is rapidly turning into a disappointment after a very promising start. Seems like he's a nemesis against Bangladesh (who he averages 58 against from 9 innings) and pretty poor against pretty much everyone else - he averages slightly less than 18 against non-Bangladeshi opponents.

Broom played some very good innings last summer and over the winter as well against good opposition. Brownlie is the only other option to bat 3 IMO with Williamson out. Broom was always a bit of a short term solution.

Just shows how fucken bare the cupboard is with KW not there.

They could've given one of the young guys a go.

Good call. Broom is hardly likely to suddenly get better at his age.

Like who? Bruce isn't a #3.

[Gunner]

With this being cut to a T23 game it has played into the Windies hands. Even with messers Duckworth & Lewis coming into play and lifting the target to 166, it should be an easy target to chase down - if the rain stays away.

West Indies don't have that much if Gayle goes early.

[hydro11]

Gayle gone. Windies shouldn't get near this.

Gooooone.

[Gunner]

No Hope, no!

[hydro11]

Another one. Windies are quite a good T20 team if they get their best players together but I don't think many of these guys have actually played IPL.

[Virgil]

7/3 just when you think they can’t get any worse

[No Quarter]

Poor decision, that was missing by miles. Can't believe they didn't review.
