It's wellington, no one does any actual work down there. they just drink and live in fear of the earth swallowing them whole. The rest of the country just sits back hoping it will happen.

right now "earth swallowing them whole" must sound pretty good to the english team

As an Australian I would just like to say that New Zealand's national anthem is far, far better than ours.

So is their Prime Minister.

Key's almost as poo poo at Abbott, he's just far better at hiding it. He's basically a Prime Minister Turnbull.

Getting money out of SA to other countries is a logistical nightmare as well.

Fun fact: the difficulty of getting money out of SA is the reason professional gambler David Walsh first started investing in art, leading eventually to Tasmania's MONA, tourism miracle and accelerator of the gentrification of Hobart's northern suburbs.

Regardless of the pitch I don't know why SL left out their best bowler in Lakmal to fit in more poo poo spinners and Thisara loving Perera to bowl rubbish.

Because Australia in the modern era have mostly been poo poo at playing spin. For some reason only our captains seem to have any idea how to approach it without playing like idiots.

I thought the most notable thing might have been the commentators saying "this'll be a 150 pitch, great effort if they can get to 200" like that's a completely normal thing and not a giant disaster for cricket.
