And that means Cricket finally....

NZ V Bangers

and

Aussies V Racists/Dictators.

Predictions people?

McCullum to get first ever ODI double ton.

India to white wash Australia. Though I'm supporting Australia over the cheaters.

Against anyone but India I wouldn't support Australia, but I hate Indian Cricket because they have destroyed international cricket (well ok....NZ Cricket) via the whole ICL thing. Also the fact that every time there is an umpiring descion that doesn't go there way they accuse the umpire of being racist.Gangsta!2008-10-09 15:16:59

The new kit looks even more awful than it did in the photograph. Last time I saw something like that, it was a TV test pattern for the old BCNZ.

Bye bye B-Mac, crap.55/1 off 10. Ryder giving them a good spanking.
 
I was thinking a while ago who I idolise more out of Smeltzy and B Mac. Was difficult, but I fear the people on here will not like my answer...

I know we have lost a few players to the ICL but Bangladesh have lost the services of 14 frontline players who deserted the national team to join the rebel Indian Cricket League.

I think it was meant to be a general observation rather than reflection on the current series.

They'd lost one first XI regular and a few others who had played a game here and there... it was far from 14 frontline players as originally reported... but nevertheless...


We were sh*t.

In that match we won in England out of nowhere I was off by 2 runs (I'll add I made the prediction when we were not many for lots)

Was hoping I was good at predicting and not flukey!

To be fair we were probably due, us and England only teams not to lose to the Bangys. When we got past 200 i still expected us to do it pretty easy but it was pleasing to see the Bangys showing some fighting spirit and some application. Ashraful is all talent and could be one of the greats if learns to knuckle down
