What’s the weather doing in Tauranga ?

Seeing Brian Lara in full flow is obviously a massive draw card but as always I suspect I’ll watch and wonder how hard the cricketers are really trying and wishing there was an alternative to the alternative commentary collective.

[Donsteppa]

Cloudy. Wet weather last night, but supposed to clear this afternoon. Groundstaff have been very busy this week!

[MN5]

Jonathan Thurston with a cringy Phil Gould inspired State of O wankfest…..

But Brian Lara with a nice dig at his former team saying he knew it would be over in a couple of days and could pop over to NZ for a break from commentating to play the game haha.

[LABCAT]

Lara looking pretty average and Astle had to call a fake no ball to keep him in the game.

Apologies for the GOM, but this is boring and ridiculous bullshit.

It feels so insular kiwi to me. It's cringe central.

[Yeetyaah]

Lara been on the beers? He seems a little pissed lmfao

Watching for Lara and he’s on two off 10 balls after surviving a no ball that wasn’t a no ball.

Yeah it’s a bit stink but there isn’t anything else on

[MN5]

I don’t think Lara takes things seriously unless he’s facing Waqar, Wasim, Warnie, McGrath or whoever…..

[Donsteppa]

DJ needs to give himself an uppercut.

Had a really good night there with Will Jordan fielding in front of us and the runner that dodged the guards nearly trampling us after he hurdles the fence. Was great entertainment all round. Geez Reuben Love is talented. Amazing catch over the boundary.

Yeah good effort but you see those kind of catches regularly when the heat goes on in a game of beach cricket

Wow. You must have amazing eyesight. My eyes are normally elsewhere at the beach, and I live beside it...

[Donsteppa]

I did wonder for a while if Reuben Love had picked the wrong sport for his day job.

He was Under (what ever age) NZ team for cricket I think

Am surprised a certain poster hasn't also mentioned the international wildcard yet

[JK]

This is awesome. Stoked for Lou as he's done it tough over the years. It shows what can happen when you're a big boy and own up to your shit.

On the other hand, oh the karma that's been served up to someone who didn't......

[Donsteppa]

It's been great to see Lou back in the mix with the Seddon Cricket Club over the last wee while too.

[Duluth]

This is on again.. not sure how long I can endure the commentary

[MN5]

[KiwiMurph]

Wheeler is a better bowler than commentator
