God, imagine being the first country to let Harbajan Singh hit a ton against you...

Imagine being the first country to lose a series to Bangladesh!

oh wait...

TBF, the Windies did lose a test series to them a while ago, though it was more like West Indies 'C'.

I remember last time or the time before that we played a test against them in NZ we rested players IIRC. Just remember being at the ND v. Wellington game up at home and hearing the updates over the PA, but Southee, Ryder, Gillespie, Watling, Arnel, Franklin, Flynn and quite a few fringe players were playing in the domestic game. Saw Daniel Flynn get 149 in a one-dayer that day :d

south africa 308/3 in the first innings.

how about the kiwi game. anyone see mcintosh with the hat on whilst batting. hadlee esque.

NZ 258-4 after Day 1 in Hyderabad. McIntosh out in second-last over for 102, Ryder 22* overnight and nightwatchman Hopkins on 0*.



Good to see McIntosh getting some runs for once! Guptill also.

i would hate bowling to hashim amla. that man could spend a whole day blocking the ball if he wanted. nerves of steel i tells ya.

His knack of blocking his way to centuries is horrible when you support the other team.

Portland v. Oklahoma is tense. 100-97 with 3.40 (IIRC) to go in the final quarter. Come on Blazers! Commencez le Sean Marks!

Oklahoma 105-100 with 1.40 to go :?

Kiwis 6/310, Ryder needs to ton up again here to give them a decent total. Vettori should provide him with the support he needs.

Portland 108 - 110 Oklahoma

As for the cricket, Gareth Hopkins ](*,). It's fine with Williamson because he is young and needs to learn, but Hopkins is almost at his use-by date. I am pretty sure we have far better keeper-batsmen running round the domestic scene.

Vettori out, 312-7 ](*,) ](*,) ](*,)

NZ all out for 350, India 11-0.

NZ (and Indian) slip fielders as well as batsman Sehwag having difficulty with red signage each side of the sightscreen (long-on and long-off boundaries). Thwarted a good chance for NZ to take an early wicket, and stopped a fairly easy catch in the NZ innings.

Kiwis and Kangaroos locked at 6-6 heading into halftime. Benji Marshall >>> everyone else on the park. Good little rumble after the siren too to set up the second half nicely.

India 102-0 in reply to NZ's 350 :(

KIWIS WIN!

5th tackle on effectively the last play, Nightingale links up with Marshall who throws it out to Fien to score a dodgy-as-fuck try and win 16-12! YES!

:shock:

New Zealand 28 - 3 Scotland at Halftime. COuld potentially get very messy for Scotland because we have strolled in for our four tries.

New Zealand 49 - 3 Scotland, FT. Could have been better. Game was ended a minute early after a serious-looking injury to a Scottish player.

Sonny Bill played well by the sounds of it. Poor loss for Australia. England played well

Might as well have been playing Gridiron with that pass.

loved the springbok win last night.

also enjoyed the sonny bill performance. shut up all those league people who said hes a tosser and shit.

Australia A really starting to get into the poms... Cameron's just bowled Pietersen for 5, as england are about 130 odd/5

just because somebody's a good footballer doesn't mean they can't be a tosser

ah fuck, raining again at the cricket

...and it's not raining :lol: typical hobart weather

anyone see chris gayles 333 knock. just wish he could have carried on.

that was special, didn't see it though :lol: :(

True that. I had more friends who said he was useless

Oh he's definately not useless just a massive ball bag

Australian Baseball League:

Sydney Blue Sox vs Brisbane Bandits: 3-3 in bottom 10th of the first game of double header (which was scheduled for 7 innings).

Melbourne Aces up 2-0 over Canberra Cavalry in top 8th
