Anyone for cricket...?

Nope. Obnoxious little weed is right.

Now for the footy season. Go the Eels.

New Black Cap superstar..

19yo Tim Southee. Just played his first test v. England. Took 5/55 in the first innings and then smashed the NZ record for the fastest 50 in tests. 77 n.o. including 9 sixes.

Bowls like Glenn McGrath. He's good, this boy

Don't get carried away Tigershark, wait until he meet the Aussie superstars, then we'll see if he's got what it takes. Can't measure him against the Poms, they are just pretenders.

Well, I reckon he will measure up. 19yo and already bowls like McGrath and can smack 9 sixes off 40 balls against a World class bowling attack.

Southee sideswipes England's jalopy

Can he bowl underarm?

Didn't the Poms manage to beat New Zilland yesterday (or recently). The quizmaster at last night's trivia, a Kiwi, was a bit down in the mouth about it!

We heaped it on him, of course. That's what he's there for.

On the other hand, 2 of our team members come from Christchurch, and the Waratahs loitered without intent in front of try line and goal posts there last Friday!

Anybody been watching the 20/20? I get to see a lot of when working night shift. Cricket's been pretty good.

Yeah, all a bit hyped, though.

I'm looking forward to the 5 day action from Lord's tomorrow night.

..or is that 3 day?

Watched bits of Jayasuriya single-handedly taking apart the Chennai Super Kings during the night.

Sachin who???

Funny thing, insomnia!
