    I was saying during the limited overs series that I didn't think Williamson should be captain. Mainly because I think that it's been detrimental to his batting, but I also find his captaincy difficult to fathom. I'd give the job back to Taylor and get rid of Hesson while I was at it.

    I really really wish that we would bat Tim Southee at 11.

    Haha, one of the radio commentators is trying to explain about Pavlov's dogs. Not sure how this relates to cricket...

    All this stuff is being addressed. I agree that it's been neglected for far too long and that's a disgrace, but we are getting some progress now. I hope they retain the bogs at the southern end though. It is neat to be able to watch the game through the breeze blocks while taking a whizz.

    Perhaps no one wants to go and pay $35 for the privilege of watching NZ stink up the joint against ordinary opposition in awful weather.

    Hahaha, Mark Richardson was just introduced to the commentary box as "the person who doesn't like anything". Reminds me of one of our regular posters.

    That's good, I want more of that and fewer mealy-mouthed platitudes.

    I don't think that's true. There's been twelve tests in the last 10 years and seven have had a result. We've seen big tons from McCullum, Williamson, Sangakkara, Clark and Voges. Ross Taylor, Williamson, Shikhar Dhawan and Misbah-ul-haq have all been sawn off in the 90s. 5+ wicket hauls have...

    I agree with him. Four tests against Bangladesh in 16 years is disgraceful.

    Ideal innings from Nicholl. Good enough to keep us in the game; bad enough that no one in their right mind would see it as evidence that he deserves a place in the team.

    Jfc, Blocky is sucking my will to live.

    Yeah, he has a great away record against Aussie and Pakistan, and a terrible home record against those countries.

    It's his away record in those countries that's bringing the averages down. Except Pakistan - he's > 50 against them away.

    Seems strange that we're not allowed to discuss illegal streams, but circumventing geoblocks is ok? Surely one is as illegal as the other.

    They definitely want it gone; they're just not being honest about it. They figure if they leave it decay the cost of repair will gradually get less and less economic. Then they can say it's too expensive and anyway we've done just fine without for all these years. To be honest I wouldn't miss...

    They keep saying that they haven't decided what to do with the Museum Stand, but all of the concept sketches for the upgrade show it gone. Vehemently disagree about the flyover. It might've been hidden from the TV cameras but would've been horribly close to spectators on the bank. Anecdotal...

    Mike Hesson - Is it time?

    Maybe, if we could match the IPL coin he gets.

    Mind your own business, jafa. If you were a local I'd have a mob on the way to lynch you for treason.
