*Official* Australia tour of New Zealand Feb-Mar 2024

[SteveNZ]

Let's add Neil Broom b. Clarke - but not actually b. Clarke at all - via Haddin's gloves in an ODI around 2010 sometime. I think it was the same series where Clarke took a 'catch' off Gareth Hopkins where both his hands were on top of the ball and the ball was resting on the ground - a technique I'd never seen before or since. But then umpire Ponting gave it out at slip so Hoppy had to go.

The Nigel Llong 'it could have been anything' one is the worst in our storied rivalry. The underarm was legal, albeit morally bankrupt, but if you've lived in Australia you know that the moral code is written in Swahili and no-one's ever bothered to read it. I still remember where I was when Nigel decided a blob on hotspot created at the same time the ball passed Lyon's bat could have been a cicada, a drip of sweat or even a birth mark that bat had recently developed.

It's like having a casual arrangement with a 9/10 girl. If she calls you're damn well going to be there in 15 minutes no matter what you're doing. But you can't expect her to turn up whenever you feel like it. She's got other priorities.

Does this still apply when she was 9/10 twenty years ago - might still think she is - looks 7/10 on the days she's done up but has put in a few appearances lately where she's completely embarrassed herself?

heh

I would say it applies anytime there's an imbalance in demand between the 2 parties involved.

Nobody on this website can pull that off

I pulled that off with having a conversation for 1 hour but she was 8/10.

Still using NDIS as a dating service I see

I never get to do s ex stuff with 9/10s cos it's usually with 10/10s

Haha this is really good

 

[TheJediBrah]

I don't get it who is he talking about

 

[Athlai]

That would've gone 65 yards

Great job buddy

 

[Nintendo]

I only talk to 10/10's or above. Also have never felt the touch of a women but that's irrelevant to this discussion.

 

[SteveNZ]

Hahaha I get the feeling this thread is going to be really good fun. It already is, more than a week out

Australia has more sheep than nz don't they?

Surely it's the kiwi-roo trophy.

Given that cricket is the sport of the invasive, destructive colonizers, I say we call it the camel-stoat trophy.

I did. It was pretty great apart from the bit where she always asked me to leave $1000 on her nightstand.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Cairns has actually said that never happened

Noted truth teller Chris Cairns

 

[Calm_profit]

Great job buddy

Not a great job,I have confessed my feelings to her during the conversation and she said no!

Noted truth teller Chris Cairns

Noted truth teller Blocky also said Cairns actually told him it DID happen. The whole incident eally leaves me with trust in authority shaken to the core.

That's like two people saying the same thing happened

NZ t20i squad announced

 

[SteveNZ]

Ol' Trenty aye. If I was better at memes, I could create a 'break glass in case of limited overs tournament' with a picture of Trent in the casing.

I'm flogging a dead horse but it is such a ****ing shame that one of our best Test bowlers of all time is going to pass over the series against Australia to play two largely irrelevant T20s, and probably piss off to Monaco after that to play in a T5 event.
