I still say the English cricket team and john Bracewell are made for each other
-
I still believe.
210 will be enough.Well you've got more faith than I have. If the Poms can't get 211 then they deserve to have Bracewell as their next coach.
I'm gutted about Astle's form slump though. It's a great pity to see a guy who I used to really enjoy watch playing performing so poorly

75/5 - care to revise the 250+ prediction.
Oh and the McMillan renaiisance was very shortlived

Ok there are days when we can't bat. There are days when we can't bowl. Now it seems there are days when we can't field.
Bugger!
Anyone care to place a bet on how long it'll be before the Blackcaps manage to achieve all three of the above in the same match?
-
Sorry Reece Rigor doesn't count. He's been retired a while now but given current form he could probably make a comeback.
I note other than Taylor and Astle no-ones expressing much confidence in our top order.
Funny that

Here's a question.
If you had to pick a Black Cap who had to bat for your life who would you choose?
It'd be a brave (or foolish) person who chose Craig McMillan - in fact you'd be better off picking James Franklin!
I honestly don't know who I'd pick on current form. Peter Fulton? Ross Taylor? Those are about the only names that spring to mind and I'd only pick Taylor idf it was a cool overcast day where he wasn't at risk of dehydration.

Thank God there's another one!
Cheers Jo :)

Well I'm one of those anti-Christmas people so I guess it's time to for a grinch to have his say.
I've never been a fan of the whole family get together and, to be honest, many others in my family feel the same way. Don't get me wrong they're great people but having them all in the same space at the same time with alcohol just isn't a good idea. The last family Christmas was in 1998 and as I recall my father and I were having a race to see who could be over the limit first so the other one would have to do the get away drive (I lost - he had an extra 25 years drinking experience on me). It was pretty much decided there and then that that would be the last family gathering.
I'm always frowned on by my friends for the way I like to spend Christmas Day. Apparently it's not the done thing to spend it in isolation and every year I have to avoid the Christmas Police. That is, multiple invitations to spend the day with friends and their families all because they don't think it's right that I like to spend the day alone. Their offers are very sweet and I almost feel like a churl for turning them down. Give me some decent music, some solitude, a good book, and some quality alcohol and I'm as happy as Larry. This year it was a Brit' music bonanza and a couple of bottles of very good Central Otago Pinot Noir.
I just don't like the fake commercialism of Christmas. The best assessment I heard of it recently was this; it's a great time right up until the moment the kids learn the truth about Santa. After the magic is gone it's all about the presents.
Also if family is so damn important we'd be visiting them more often, not just at Christmas.
Rant over :)
(oh and if you read this Dad - I'll be popping in your neck of the woods sometime in the next couple of months)

It was either that or fuck-knuckle and I didn't want to lower the tone (too much)
