***Official*** Trans-Tasman Twenty20 Tri-Series

[straw man]

Did some NZer just do the world's most effective rain-dance? If so, why haven't you demonstrated your power earlier and maybe conserved it a bit for more important matches.

boooo is it raining? i was just settling into an evening of being a grumpy old man grizzling at this rinky dink T20 format too

Ok, tbh this “ooh KP is such an alpha male” myth is a little bit tired. An overpumped ego blatantly covering a fragile insecurity which has been shown up many times. The dude couldn’t even handle team mates or bosses daring to banter or differ with him. Recently he blocked Mitchell Johnson on twitter after a gentle dig.

Dude was a heck of a skilled batsman. But in almost every other aspect he’s been nothing special. Just another self loving maverick who many of the disenchanted or less intellectual masses gravitate towards, mainly because he always pissed on the system (despite making his name and living from it), and draws his attention with strong opinions and polarising people... kind of a mini Trump effect dare I say.

To suggest someone is “beta” for not liking the guy is a bit laughable really. Then call me a beta for calling him out ��

Hey I may be disenchanted and less intellectual, but . . .

what was they third thing you said?

according to cricinfo lord colin and southee were threatening to do a poo on the spectators

Only Colin De Grandhomme (and, briefly, Tim Southee) threatened to dump on the crowd at any stage over the last hour and a half

I like how Channel 9's footage of the BBL is totally fine and not in 240p

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Hope rain doesn't save Australia here

 

[Starfighter]

Normal Sydney weather. Scattered showers drifting on shore. Annoying without any meaningful totals.

 

[Flem274*]

none of the nzers seem to play games atm. wasn't ryder a massive cod fan a few years back? even flag flying nerd vettori was secretly a jock and into fashion etc apparently.

(referencing the don bradman face offs here)

Boult promoting himself up the order and actually top scoring with himself is hilarious

 

[Flem274*]

'144ks, whatever, who is even making this stuff?' haha

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Southee seemed none too happy with that result.

 

[Athlai]

The cricket show is Pretty funny

 

[TheJediBrah]

If they don't get on soon I'll be mighty pissed cause my Pizzas will be here soon

 

[Starfighter]

This is quite annoying.

 

[Flem274*]

guptill looks more comfortable facing international bowling than these 20 click loopy mediums haha

 

[African Monkey]

It would be cruel for the rain to deny us here.

 

[Athlai]

I want to see Guptills 34 in an over

 

[Flem274*]

i want to see leigh harts 9 run over

 

[Flem274*]

honestly getting nz/aus/england to have don bradman cricket duels on the cricket show is a way better idea than this tri series

 

[Athlai]

i want to see leigh harts 9 run over

I did see that one. Wasn’t terrible
