So which to watch and which to flick over to check the score - the cricket or the rugby?
Sorry about your NPC lads!
Doesn't the cricket start just as the NPC final finishes?
I've liked the strategy that the NZ batters have had for the spinners. It is almost a paint by numbers of sweep, reverse sweep or come down the wicket mixed with defence. Has been effective so far at disrupting their line and length and we've managed a very healthy strike rate without too many risks.

@No-Quarter Are you going to hire a Secretary to post on both for you?
Perhaps I could get my 11 year old to cover the rugby thread. The instructions would be simple: bemoan the number of Crusaders players selected, have a crack at Razor for favouring them, and praise the performance of any Hurricanes or Blues player

I've been forced to watch enough cooking shows, that I feel the technique is to fall back on the, "Here's some I prepared earlier....".
"Fuck you.....
Blundell, Santner, TIMMY, Asafo, Sevu, ref, Japan, Rohit haha, DMac, TIMMY!!!, Mitch and your father - catch the ball FFS, Ryan, Patty, Razor FFS, Virat - yes!, India, Eddie -yeah!

Ajaz shouldn't be hitting out when a set Phillips is at the other end
-
The bad news is we haven't got as many as we wanted. The good news is the pitch is turning a fucking mile even on day 3.

Blundell and Santner should have showed more application. I don't know why they felt the need for aerial shots
-
Thinking more on Santer's first innings performance, he's always been an accurate spinner that doesn't turn it much. On a pitch that turns as much as this one, he suddenly becomes an accurate spinner that turns it quite a bit, which makes him a much more challenging proposition.
-
That's extremely poor running from O'Rourke. He needs a bullocking for that. Not good enough.

Well 400 would have shut the door, 359 has left the door ajar. That said, if India win this, they will deserve it, the pitch is very tricky to bat on.
