Cricket anyone??
 

:D Just wondered if anyone wanted to talk about Englands last two 50 over games:D:D (Sorry -couldn't resist.)

Re: Cricket anyone??
 

What two games are those John:D

Re: Cricket anyone??
 

cant stand the bloody game

Re: Cricket anyone??
 

I will talk about the last time England played NZ at Rugby League.

Re: Cricket anyone??
 

LOL:D..and the fallout from that 'debacle' still continues overhere. But back to the cricket,you will have the last laugh when the Tests have finished.:(

Re: Cricket anyone??
 

aint watched cricket for years, though i do watch Traffic Lights change occasionally.:D

Re: Cricket anyone??
 

Which is your favourite cashy?Red :D

Re: Cricket anyone??
 

You better cut out that fighting talk, Mr Kiwi, sir, or you won't be getting your Stanley shirt next week. :rolleyes:

Anyway, back to the rugby... I heard that New Zealand rugby is like a size 32A bra... Plenty of support but no cups! :rofl38:

I hope we win the third game in Aukland on Friday, or England will be playing for pride by the time we get to Napier, and they don't seem to have much of that.

Re: Cricket anyone??
 

Why don't you take him a few chavs out with you and show him what sport England really excel at :D

Failing that my sister is moving there in a couple of months, I'll get her to sort him out :)

Re: Cricket anyone??
 

:D:D Love it..a man with a sense of humour:D:D:D

Re: Cricket anyone??
 

Is she coming to the Bay???? If so, hope she dosen't sport a Dingle sticker on her motor...:eek:

Re: Cricket anyone??
 

She's selling her car and flying out :dork:

To be honest I'm not sure where she decided on, all I know is that her hubby has got a job with Fujitsu. Actually you have given me a good idea for a leaving present, now I'll have to go down to the club shop at the Turf :D

Re: Cricket anyone??
 

In honour of the forthcoming arrival of SPARKOLOGIST and his trusty sidekick LETTIE, we gave you game 3 to keep the series alive.Doubtless it will rain here in the Bay on Wednesday as it hasn't seriously done so for about 5 months. In case of a drought, give Hawkes bay a one day international- gaureenteed rainmaker.

Re: Cricket anyone??
 

Don't say your going to creep through a nick and draw the series 2-2 John:D

Re: Cricket anyone??
 

Best not talk about the first test eh???? :)

A shoddy example of a team
 

No, let's not! :tongueout

All the Kiwis we spoke to on our travels reckoned it would be a cake-walk for England. I never suspected this for a minute. Our bowling attack is lame & tame. To win a test match, a team has to bowl the opposition out twice; something we are incapable of performing.

On a brighter note... Thank you for your hospitality Kiwi John. Lettie & I had a great evening spent in your company. :thumbsup:

Re: Cricket anyone??
 

Sparks...the pleasure was all ours.
Part of me was hoping for you lot to fair dinkum smash us so as we could be rid of Bracewell.That won't now happen and we will have to put up with him for another couple of years...

Re: Cricket anyone??
 

Hey it's not over yet, when does the next one start ? This week some time hopefully to keep me occupied !
Our real problem has got to be the bowling, Harmison is obviously not fit and although I watched the interview he did with Nasser and agree with a lot of what he said , I have to say that the one day situation is daft, you can't pick and choose what games you play for your country.
Also thought that ITB was a huge hypocrite in what he said about the game coming first and being a true professional, this from the man who regularly rolled up drunk to matches and in no way fit !

Re: Cricket anyone??
 

Starts about 10pm tomorrow night Wednesday, i'll watch a bit of UEF cup then Sky sports for the cricket through the night, will be writting more rubbish than usuall on here thursday:rolleyes:

Re: Cricket anyone??
 

31 for 3 and where's Kiwi John ?????? :tongueout:tongueout:tongueout

Re: Cricket anyone??
 

I'm right here Lindsay, drowning in self pity...Normal transmition restored to NZ cricket.If you blokes don't snare this one they should chuck it all in....

Re: Cricket anyone??
 

The " Burnley Express" strikes again ! Really pleased for Jimmy Anderson, he's a very good bowler and a very pleasant bloke to have a pint with !:)

Re: Cricket anyone??
 

Whats all this lindsay "very pleasant bloke to have a pint with" spill the beens, we're all ears:D

Re: Cricket anyone??
 

He's a nice bloke Jaysay, met him at Accy , a couple of seasons ago when he was playing for Burnley to recover from his recurrent back problems, my brother bowled him out ! He was very sociable in the bar after and seems very down to earth and real if you know what I mean !

Re: Cricket anyone??
 

Nah not having it,from burnley n real do not go in the same sentence.:D

Re: Cricket anyone??
 

Who are ya? Who are ya ? Back to the pavilion with ya., black caps !!
Oh yesss ! Ryan Sidebottom is God !:tongueout :tongueout:tongueout:dancedog::dancedog::dancedog: :wave8::wave8:

Re: Cricket anyone??
 

Gone off Jimmy now lindsay:D

Re: Cricket anyone??
 

Hey Jaysay, he's just a friend !;)

Re: Cricket anyone??
 

Most boring "sport" out there. Right up there with golf

Re: Cricket anyone??
 

Have you ever been to a cricket match Aleks?

Re: Cricket anyone??
 

It ain't if you've payed um Aleks and I've played um both;)

Re: Cricket anyone??
 

Kiki John are you ready for the desider tomorrow, well its 9.30pm Thursday night when it starts here, it will be about 10-30am down there won't it. I fancy Englands chances if they play like they did in the last one:rolleyes:

Re: Cricket anyone??
 

Says friday evening our time on the BBC website??:confused:

Re: Cricket anyone??
 

Right. It starts 10.30 Saturday ( NZ time) just 20 ks up the road. Its easter weekend here(Is it over there?) Karen has insisted we go camping for 4 days at a beachside settlement.I was going to take the eldest to the cricket.. now, if you are a betting person/people go for the draw as the weather for the test is looking decidedly 'dodgy'. we are in drought conditions here so any rain would be welcome.Was hoping the negative outlook would deter us from going camping but as we are due to depart in 3 hours, it dosen't look like it.
I don't really expect much cricket from Sat late arvo onwards...
GO THE BLACK CAPS. Long live Stephen Flemming

Re: Cricket anyone??
 

I'd say feign illness to avoid the camping and get to the cricket ! last chance to see the Fleming in his natural habitat !:D

Re: Cricket anyone??
 

Been there ,done that...it dosen't wash anymore.:DThey haven't even got a TAB out there and cellphone coverage for the old phone a/c is unsure to say the least....

Re: Cricket anyone??
 

Sorry lins go my wires crossed, its a good job I looked at this thread again tonight or I would have been very disappointed around 9-30 tonight:(

Re: Cricket anyone??
 

Third and decisive test, lets put up a truly English performance and pulverise them.

On second thoughts lets put up a normal England performance and give them an easy win by throwing our first 3 wickets away for 4 runs :confused:

Re: Cricket anyone??
 

Doesn't look too promising so far does it?:(

Re: Cricket anyone??
 

Well, the plan was to pack up and race home from the beach to catch the second and third sessions today(Monday) but when NZ did the traditional collapse yesterday, those plans were scuttled.Absolutely no sign of rain so it looks like you lot will get this one,as its 317/3 at time of writing.Gosh we are kind to you.:mad:
NOT HAPPY

Re: Cricket anyone??
 

Oh ye of little faith lins even Strauss has come to he party:)
