@mariner4life just got trolled by the missus who was wondering why a draw was worth celebrating... started explaining, saw the smirk, then Ish smacked 4 for his fiddy and she was 'that's more like it!' Still smirking!!
"all I'm saying is, that there is a time and a place to be a lippy bitch, and is that time or place now?"

Sure you're not because that gets you the stink eye at best. But you're thinking it

@mimic if they have to open even a single bottle tonight something is terribly wrong in the dressing room!
So stoked for Ish, didn't bowl as well as any of us would have liked, but by oath did that man contribute to the cause. Has been great to see the development of CdG too - really showing his value to the team. Wags? man, we already know that guy is tumeke as!
-
@mimic have been really impressed with CDG. They clearly rate him as a bowler, and he picked up some decent movement and generally bowled well as a 3/4 seamer. Batted very well too. Pity he's 31, but probably doesn't have too many miles in the legs, so could play for another few years.

Batting average of 38, bowling average of 29. That's a decent career already.

Ish batted for 3 hours and 10 mins. Monster effort.
After copping a bone breaking hit on the lower arm no less
Sodhi thinks he may have a broken arm and/or finger. So, if true, he really has taken one (or two) for the team.

I'm not surprised. The ball didn't glance off the arm it bounced back onto the pitch. That is super tough

As if I didn't already have enough man-love for Wags. I'm about ready to have his kids. What a man.

They are great tourists. I remember talking to a few during the Lions tour. Very appreciative sports fans and bottomless pits for beer

Should bat at number six in the ODI team come the CWC, he's definitely not just a pinch hitter.

Listened to the game on Radio Sport while stuck in fun Auckland traffic. Really enjoy Jeremy Coney and Bryan Waddle doing the cricket commentary (or I just enjoy it more than being stuck in traffic). Great effort by Ish considering he wasn't picked for the first test due to him not being a batsman (Todd Astle will be waiting another several years).

It’s par for course that a lower order black cap wins/saves a test with the bat rather than the ball..
Jerry and Chats would be proud
And ...
Astle and Morrison
Astle and Allott
Greatbtach and Cairns/Sneds
Coney, Crowe and Cairns -

Really enjoyed the Radio Sport commentary. Graham Swann popped in several times. Said some random shit, but quite amusing. Peter Fulton wasn't bad either.
