That AB backline still strikes fear into me, not so much the forward pack.

Happy with the front row, think we need to cast the net wider for another lock - not entirely sure why, but have a general feeling we could do better there, loosies coming along nicely.

Overall happy with the ...

World's gone batshit. I can't keep up with everything that's going on.

Ukraine, Israel, Syria, Korea, France for a start.

Georgia going to shit too

There's an unknown flu like virus in the DRC that's killed about eighty people.

Unchanged side for England. Looks like Ollie Robinson has been flown out as a drinks waiter.

Looks like NZ remains the same as well, with the four quicks selected for the Basin Reserve wicket. Guess we have a couple of part time spinners to complement, but not entirely sure that was the right ...

And the definition of doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result each time is?

Time to clean out the actually Board, they are not advancing the game in NZ, are making the same mistakes we have been making since the 1970s, and have proven to be absolutely ...

What kinds of crowds are they getting at these games?

Also, did I read that crowd trouble is a bit of an issue at some clubs?

I was going to say it could look worse, but then ... naw, what on earth were they thinking, okay some shrooms went down in that meeting right?

One or two odd selections, a couple of key players out of form, appallingly bad catching throughout. Let's not all panic. We die-hard BC supporters have seen it all before.

Phenomenal effort from Auckland so far. Having the next game at home could see this extended.

We have been pretenders in this league for so long that I never thought I would see something like this.

Can't put it down to playing the easier teams either, some notable scalps already for Auckland ...

Yep.
Good. Should I blame the ref?

Trying to find a way, but unfort the English were too good for a poor BC performance. Here we go again, light effective extinguished at the end of the tunnel

Well done England, deserved the win.

Cricket Australia would be handing out penalties like they were going out of business for this bollocks. Seriously the crowd should ask for their dosh back.

Steam deck any good to you?

What’s that mate?

Slightly object to the ‘weirdos’ comment. I don’t call your hobbies weird…

Dude your Welsh, would have thought it went with the territory :???:

So the steam deck loads stuff you buy off steam? Sounding like a good investment considering ...

The damage though, is in the effect this is having on race relations in the country with every red neck fucktard being emboldened and legitimised by this ongoing attack on Māori… and let’s not beat around the bush here, this government has declared war on all things Māori and are throwing 50 years ...

NZ bowled just 23 overs in that session - that is really abysmal.

Shameful, should probably forfeit the series for that

Both sides should forfeit WTC points for sure - heaps of cash too please.

Yes, I agree, and we should abandon this game, erase it from cricket history completely ...

Was looking forward to reading the ref blaming here and ye did not disappoint.

Really making Kiwi fans look impartial :wink:

Not a game for the ages, way too many mistakes. If this is a new dawn for the Wallabies then it sort has been a still birth at best, (mixed metaphors are my super ...

Hi weirdos, I’m thinking of getting my son a Nintendo Switch. He will want to play (time limited) Minecraft and I thought it would be fun family entertainment for things like Mario Carts, FIFA etc. He’s only 8 so it will be pretty limited use.

Does anyone have any advice on if this is the best ...

Round 6

Adelaide United 2 - 2 Perth Glory, United will be thinking they dropped a couple of points here. Still some relief for Glory fans.

Auckland FC 2 - 0 Newcastle Jets, Auckland left it late but got the same result. AFC 5 from 5 still to concede a goal.

Melbourne City 0 - 2 Western Sydney ...

And Conway showing that perhaps he, not Young, should be carrying the drinks. That one did not surprise me. He was fishing more than my father-in-law did in retirement.

Actually, give him the gloves and bat him at 6 or 7. There he can swing which he's better at. Then Young can come in to open ...

Makes for a nice change, but it's only still true for certain teams (fortunately including England these days). NZ, SA, Ireland and Italy don't seem to have too much trouble with it.

Italy?

Well played Scotland, more committed and playing better rugby.

We're playing without a regular keeper, a number 3 who has a) never batted there b) is making his debut c) averages just 25 in 1st class cricket and c) has never scored a century in any format. Our skipper has no form with the bat and is reluctant to bowl and our spinner can't even get into his ...

Well okay bit of a series happening in Oz, but the Kiwis fresh from victory over India take on England fresh from whatever calamity fell them last series :wtf:

Actually I don't get too excited when we play England as the Poms have a habit of putting us on our arses frequently.

Someone biased on the other side might word it as flow of drugs from Mexico into the US and demand from Mexico for guns.

They're both suppliers, stop trying to whitewash the US's part here. They're the biggest arms dealer in the world. They know exactly what they're doing.

The internet lit up over Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clark's parliament haka, and rightly so. It hasn't taken long though... just yesterday I watched a real from some coloured guy in the US commenting on it full of respect and awe, and saying that if any meme lords decided to try and remix it up they ...

Well, they've announced a squad for the series so it would be unusual to say the least for any changes to be made to that squad.

India have come to Australia off the back of a series whitewash at home without making any drastic changes to their squad and no-one's commented on that.

Dude has the reflexes.

On to Adelaide, lets see if the Aussie selectors respond or same old same old.

Auckland FC on a perfect 12 points, following by the Phoenix, Melbourne Victory, and Adelaide United all on 10 points. Bit of a log jam after that till we hit the bottom of the table and a couple of clubs doing it tough at the moment.
