After this, the prospect of Afghanistan defeating low-hanging test nations like Bangladesh or England doesn't seem entirely inconceivable.

I hope he's healthy enough to go to the MCG and see us win the final :unsmith:

The best thing about the Associates is that they haven't embarrassed themselves at all, the only embarrassing performances have been from England and Pakistan.

So this happened around an hour ago in Auckland:



We had a run where thunderstorms would pop up at the same time every day when it was warm a couple of months ago. This does not bode well.

Mark Nicholas blaming the West Indies players 'desire' and how they are all money grubbing IPL wannabees for their recent underperformances, not that the WICB is a shithouse that lies to the players and cheats them out of their money. I wonder why they find the IPL so appealing...

I live one street from Eden Park. Will give weather updates in the morning. My guess is there will be a shower or two but it won't cause the game to lose overs or be abandoned.

Also I put my second bet of my life on the black caps to win. Put a hundred on $2.10 odds. The last bet I made was France to win the world cup in 1998 paying 9/1 :smug:

Because it is also a shithouse that lies to the players and cheats them of money whilst the fatcat owners get richer?

It's reached the point where the commentators are openly bagging the ICC for trying to cut down the number of teams at the next tournament.

The last time I heard a commentator talk like that about a decision a sport's governing body had made, he was 'moved on' at the of the year.
