Fucking Napier and cricket. If it's not raining, it's a sun strike delay. The only thing that vanue has been good for historically is stat-padding for batsmen. In fact if the region didn't produce some stonking chardonnay it could just fuck right off into Hawkes Bay and no-one would miss it.
Wow, I’m glad @Nepia isn’t a cricket fan. A post like this would break his heart.
Jesus, that was confusing, seeing a notification for a cricket thread.
Anyway, I like a good @shark hissy fit, his Chiefs ones back in the day were epic and he's been a bit quiet of late.
Also, I have to fact check him, the bay we would fuck right off into is called Hawke Bay, the province Hawkes Bay.
That’d be like me getting one in a golf or horse racing one.

Has this just changed in NZ for this series? Just asking as it appears we have the same comms team in AUS that we had for the recent tests.

@jk Could be a very short game - NED 45/5 after 13
The Dutchies are making you eat your words.
What a partnership.
Who the fuck are these guys though ? Bring back minnows I know like Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
Oh hang on, Bangladesh beat us. Stink.

Some interesting stats from Francis Payne in a Twitter thread in response to 'why we need to play the Netherlands' - I didn't know about the planned tour with Bradman that never was...
I used to enjoy when they interviewed Francis Payne on the Dilmah tea party. Definitely on some sort of spectrum but what a fountain of knowledge he is !

@mn5 I watched Rippon bowling for Otago earlier this season and he is really handy. A left arm wrist-spinner - not many of those around.
Could even potentially have been a useful option for NZ, but I guess he'd now have some sort of stand down period.

No stand down.
Playing for an associate doesnt affect qualification for full member countries. -
