Southee still has 0 in this innings.

Okay. Henry can take a skerrick of consolation from that, I guess.

11-117 for Jamieson for the match. Outstanding.

Could Sine Metu get 11 for?

Boult snares one and Pakistan are in even deeper trouble.

Henry has been unlucky in bowling his tight 130kmh deliveries without reward.

...and another. 4-18 now, 9 for the match. Superb.

And another. This guy's got the goods.

The Kyledriver claims another one. He is in some form at the moment.

Great batting, New Zealand.

I identify as [Firstname (shortened version)] [Lastname] or [Firstname ] [Middlename] [Lastname] as appropriate to the circumstances. I may also give my date of birth and address. To date this has been a tactical success. With an "o" on the end? If not an 'o', then almost certainly a 'y'.

Proceedings have swung firmly back in NZ's favour now.

NZ 198-3 with Nicholls on a chanceless 56 (

) and King Kane on 61.

Yes, you'd have to say Pakistan have the upper hand at this stage of the game.

One of the pleasures of continuing to work from home is having the game on in the background.

I wouldn't get away with that in the office, especially in Australia.

Mid Canterbury - Build on the successful unbeaten abbreviated rep campaign of 2020. Beat South Canterbury in the Meads Cup final with a pushover try on the 80 minute mark. Highlanders - Tony Brown's first year as Head Coach to see the 'Landers return immediately to the form of the halcyon days of 20...

Happy New Year, bellends.

Looking out over the water from beautiful Bruny Island, Tasmania as i type. I'm a lucky man.

Cheers.

The pleasing thing about this is that it might make our tourism Minister think before making his next statement about targeting the right sort of tourist. We have our own bogans without needing to import the type that buy $500 Toyota Hiace vans and then proceed to shit all over the country and dump...

There are bad apples in every bunch, including our home grown crops.

Ho ho Hobart!

Merry Christmas from Tasmania, a-holers.

Lovely blue sky down here, but there ain't much heat in it.

Enjoy the day.

Merry Christmas, assorted bellends. May 2021 be better than 2020.

It doesn't matter which midfield duo we use, if they aren't given years to develop as a combination then it will be destined for failure. Nonu and Smith took years to reach their potential. Ian Foster is obsessed with rotation and having options, so he has never let a combination settle. We are in ...

Yeah, do people watch DVDs still? Something like a Netflix subscription sounds smart, but FYI, I don’t think Netflix carries the Bond films at this stage. Netflix Japan doesn’t, anyway. But as AC says, streaming might give you much more bang for your buck. As for the films, even the more recent ver...

We're slow learners. Every time we go too far away from a powerful forward game we get our ass handed to us.

Our backs are good, but not good enough to win the game on their own.

What's new? I'm sure once the pressure is off he'll score an aggressive 50 or more in a dead rubber, earning more time in the side.

The very definition of a flat track bully.

Wife and I just got back from a week up at Newport, have to admit coming from Victoria it was quite a shock to see supermarkets and restaurants packed, nobody wearing masks and no real social distancing to speak of. Pretty happy to be to be back in Victoria. The one thing I did like was the QR code...

Showing for me as well. I mentioned a few weeks back that I plan to travel to NZ in the New Year. As a dual citizen I am obliged to seek an exemption from the Australian government to travel under the current ban on overseas travel. One of the qualifiers for exemption is residency in another countr...

Two new cases found on Sydney's northern beaches. This brings the total number of cases found in the NSW community (not in hotel quarantine) to five over the past 24 hours. Small numbers compared to other countries globally, but a veritable 3rd wave within the Australian context. https://www.smh.co...

Balls & cock

I am looking forward to getting over the dutch in the first quarter and this will only impede that.

How great to see the Force back. They never deserved to get binned in the first place.

3rd best. England and South Africa are better The last time we played South Africa we beat them. I'm not convinced they are better than us on the back of (another) fortuitous Rugby World Cup draw. Lol it didn't matter then and it doesn't matter now, They are the World Champions not us. Deal with it...

Also having Sam Cane out there is one less lineout option, if we had a trio of Savea Sotutu and Ioane, plus our Whitelock and Brodie? thats a problem for any defence. Is this the same lineout that's currently ranked the best in the world? Yeah, clearly having Sam Cane in our lineout's been a huge p...

You'd make a better rocket scientist than rugby selector, Not_Couch. Comparing Cane's six full games leading from the front to Akira's one and a bit tests is daft for a start... Gotta say, anyone suggesting Sam Cane is a shit rugby player knows sweet fuck all about the game. Totally. One hand picke...

being slightly biased but Sotutu is the 8 the AB's need but the longer they have shitcane at 7, the less likelihood of ardie playing in his best position which means hoskisn will get wasted and forgottten (like todd).. fozzie is making the same mistake hansen did by intentionally not playing ardie ...

That under Ian Foster, they are about as ordinary as we'd all feared.

Great ref.

He let the game flow and had great judgement.

Go well Nigel.

It's really not contradictory. Robertson has nothing to do with NH rugby. How is it any different to Henry bringing in Dave Ellis to be NZ's defensive advisor for the 2005 Lions tour? https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2017/jun/22/dave-ellis-all-blacks-lions-tamer-new-zealand NZ can do what they lik...

Laurie is being a bit daft there. I’m a moderate. I don’t think Beauden should be a 10 at all. I also don’t think he’s a lowlife who is issuing ultimatums, undermining his teammates and sabotaging what would otherwise be a sensible game plan from the coaching team. Yep his is just another opinion D...

I read British radio DJ Chris Moyles' 2006 book 'The Story of a Man and his Mouth" during the weekend. The price was a respectable $1 in a local secondhand bookstore.

It was average.
