It was on live commentary on air, so no article.

Lol, reported by someone who has never posted in this thread, yet has an average of 7.13 posts a day since 2005. Stats Shane Watson would be jealous of. I'm an idiot

edit: poo poo, KFC seems to be all Taylor and Styris talk about on twitter:

That's how it works. Someone reports it, a Moderator reviews and requests an admin for the probation/ban. Hand Knit didn't report it, they're just the mod.

Don't you get it thread? Other cultures might might talk about chicken like this, but Americans talk about chicken like that :smug:

thanks Mods - now the cricket thread's culture of fried chicken celebration is under attack from hyper-sensitve American value judgements - which are kind of racist.

Published 9/12/2003

By Kelly Exelby of the Bay of Plenty Time

It's every young cricketer's dream to pull on the silver fern and the baggy black cap of New Zealand.

Tauranga's Kane Williamson is well on his way to a brilliant sporting career - and he's using England cricketer Graham Thorpe's bat to get there.

Boasting a batting average of 42.4 in a decade-long test career that was revived this year, elegant left-hander Thorpe is one of cricket's most dogged fighters.

But even Thorpe would struggle to match the majestic deeds of 12-year-old Williamson.
Williamson led Bay of Plenty Coastlands to the Northern Districts under-14 title last week in Gisborne.

He amassed an incredible 420 runs in just four visits to the batting crease - pummelling unbeaten Bay of Plenty's opposition with scores of 101, 128no, 100no and 91no.

A heads-up, I went to cancel my Foxtel Play sub since the fortnight had nearly run out and the lack of after-hours cricket meant that I hadn't watched a lot anyway. But then it offered me $25 per month (for a max of two months) instead of $50, with the option to cancel at any time. This is more palatable so I accepted the deal since it's pretty good quality, far better than any streams I've used.

The 2019 cricket thread is going to have fewer people posting in it, but somehow end up a longer thread and people will be wishing for the return of the minnow posters

After years of bad posting the English are forced into a qualifier against the lone west Indian fan. Despite recruiting several foreign posters they lose handedly.

quote:

Williamson, along with his twin brother Logan, featured in articles in the Bay of Plenty Times following strong performances in cricket, rugby and basketball.

I like the fact that Kane has a twin brother out there who, from a cursory Google search, appears to have given up his sporting dreams to become an accountant.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.
