*Official* New Zealand in England 2015

[Athlai]

I don't know what is happening

No rain today, I think. wouldn't be surprised to actually see 98 overs in the day.

Hopefully we get a full day's play, regardless of the result. It's been a compelling mini-series so far.

Miserable as **** 90 miles from Leeds, hopefully it doesn't blow over the Pennines. We only need to go at 4.23 an over to win. Given our average of zero wickets lost per over, odds are firmly in our favour

GO ENGLAND

Not sure what were you talking about here tbh. As if besmirching someone with tinfoil hats and hinting that they're not of sound mind repeatedly for almost two years didn't attack the poster in the first place.

Anyway, if the likes of you, Mike5181, JediNudist and CaptainGrumpy really are considered "perfectly good" fair dinkum Kiwi tucker on the posting front these days, it's time for me to give this forum a miss. I didn't think there was for a long while, but there are actually better options out there now.

4.23 an over? Who do you think you are? New Zealand?

kippax has finished assembling his army of mediocre NZ posters and is leading the revolution against mediocre NZ posters

Someone needs to arrange a cricketweb equivalent of an Obama style 'beer summit' to resolve this.

Who is this ignorant brute besmirching my excellent and informative posting who himself cannot even differentiate between the lexicon of the Antipodean nations?

Kippax, my posts are erudite. Take your whining diatribe to another forum before you destroy the objective integrity of this fine and learned forum with your character assassinations and your personal low brow quips. Ad hominem inpersonam has no place here and personally I do not like the cut of your jib.

Now confirmed there is zero chance this is Manu.

I think the rain will win this one.

Seems to be a lot more 'blocky' than Munro would be in this situation..

Easily the best kiwi poster on here now.

Please never leave.

Haha quit trying to be divisive & turn this into some teenage chicks forum gone wrong. I refuse to engage in ad hominem attacks. I hardly know Jedi & Grumpy tbh, but Mike5181's been around for a while now & has generally been a good poster.

Not sure why you're now trying to widen your character assassination rather than just copping the fair criticism for your poor post on the chin. Makes you look exceedingly worse.

This is of the best sports forum on the internet, and I'm involved in many, but I'm sure you'll be able to fine one out there with more 'cliques', more intolerance, & where ad hominem attacks are permitted if that's more your thing.

Maybe Blocky was right about you NZers and your pack mentality. Assume it takes a lot to turn Kippax to the dark side.

Sorry to hear this Kippax. Maybe take a break and then come back refreshed. I think having a stoush with someone is part and parcel of the Internet experience. The only criticism I have is that because no one else has the background on your mini feud with Mike your reaction left us bewildered. When I lose my cool at people I usually give them a telling off like you do but try to be precise naming their transgression in my post. Sometimes the other person either 1) doesn't realise they are doing it or 2) kept on doing it because you wouldn't react and wanted something addressed with you.

I have no idea if Mike has been riling you up or not so don't mean to cast aspersions on either one of you or to take sides and the only point to my post is to say a) you will be missed if you go b) why your post created confusion (it wasn't specific enough or accurate enough with its language your subsequent ones were).
At this stage you have gotten it off your chest and said what you wanted to say - perhaps that is enough for you.

You are more than welcome to stay if you wish. And I hope you do.

Underrated post

you forgot to offer him some jesus, caner

I am saving that card for when you go off the rails tbh

 

[GIMH]

Can we take the Kippax saga elsewhere, some of us are trying to discuss England's average wickets lost per over here

 

[LegionOfBrad]

4.23 an over wouldn't actually be unreachable with the way BMc will set up his fields.

They'll just bat and play to not get out. Draw is as good as a win for England.

They wouldn't have been blocking without the washout yesterday.

I dont think the Kiwis expected the wash out yesterday or they probably would have declared earlier. Showers were forecast but not set in rain. BMc probably didn't expect them to bowl as badly as they did however in the overs they got.

Craig will be key. Got some good turn.

Nah joking aside, I'd say that's one thing that distinguishes Kiwi posters from some, in that we're usually quite individualistic and generally 'don't' engage in pack mentality in the main, but instead call it as we see it. A very kiwi trait.
