Just bought my match day pass

Same here. Absolute bargain at $45 for a 5 day pass.

Went to the shop and heard on the radio something about Milne being given serious consideration for test cricket. Didn't hear whether there was a chat with Edgar or Hesson at all. I'm telling you though, it is going to happen if he does just enough (i.e. bowl 150 clicks and take a wicket again).

We're going to lose the ODI series btw.

"We know we'll have to play out of our skins, and out-match them player for player to be competitive against such a powerful side," national selection manager Bruce Edgar said. "But we showed against the West Indies that we can play extremely well on our day and are capable of beating any side."

It's the cute little kiwi fighter speech again. Obviously India are heavy favourites but every time we trot that line out we get dicked, probably because we build the oppo up so much in our heads. Hopefully the squad project some confidence in their interviews that they can do it rather than hiding behind the underdog tag. As Bond says, it's a cop out.

I love what I'm hearing from Dhoni by the way. You can see why he's been a successful skipper for so long despite copping some serious heat. Such a calm, confident and diplomatic bloke.

I'd rather see a statement such as

"India are a bunch of flakes, especially away from home. Recent retirements have robbed them of their stars and South Africa showed how toothless their bowling attack was by putting 450 runs on in the 4th innings and almost scoring a world record win against them"

Nah Milne to get splattered to the tune of 0/60 of 7 overs in his only ODI appearance of the series, and disappear for another season. That or he'll take 6/20 and promptly break down with a stress fracture.

Just bought my match day pass

Just realised I might be able to make the last 3 days of the Basin Test, Sunday-Monday-Tuesday.

Looks like it's cheaper to get a match pass, just for those 3 days. Excited for some Test Match cricket. Just have to run it by my boss.

I bought one but I'm only going Friday/Saturday. You can take my ticket if you want it.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Wow, that would be great. Could go halves.

First I have to see if I can get off work. Then we could arrange a way to exchange the ticket.
