Lara out


Good moment for the sub fielder though.

 

[sirjeremy11]

Bond gets rid of Lara. I am loving it!

 

[Blaze]

20 year old substitute Carl Cachopa took the catch, haha..he wasn't going to drop that.

Imagine if he had have dropped it.

 

[Pratters]

Thanks Blaze, Tim.

Am going downstairs to catch a bit of it while I can.

 

[ohtani's jacket]

Damn, Bond got Lara out. That sucks.

 

[Zinzan]

I'm disappointed to be honest, I would have liked to see Lara get a 100, but New Zealand to still get the lead. Lara pays for having no respect for Bond to have a sighter.

When are they going to stop playing cricket at Eden Park? The crowds they get are pathetic. (yeah yeah it's a working day) They should play at a smaller ground so that there are less empty seats.

 

[Blakey]

Bad? It is? Really?

Why, so the perception is that there are more people when there isn't ??

Or somehow improve the Outer Oval? Maybe during the upgrade of Eden Park, they can put in retractable grass banks for test cricket.

Sarwan is going for broke. Im not sure its the right way to go so early on in the day.

No. I think the perception is that empty grass banks with people streched out looks better than 30000 empty seats in a stadium.

Also so the atmosphere is more enjoyable for those who do to the ground. I know I'd rather watch a game if there were more people around me and in a more relaxing environment.

Oh yes Eden Park is really lovely and enjoyable to sit in at this time of year. mmm give me more.

It is for Rugby. Apparently.

 

[Blakey]

cricinfo isn't updating

 

[Loony BoB]

It is, they just update it inconsistently - sometimes they'll add in 2-3 overs in one go instead of doing it one ball at a time.

 

[Blaze]

So that there is some kind of atmosphere at the matches...

 

[sirjeremy11]

So that there is some kind of atmosphere at the matches...

Yeah. Dead 40000 seat stadiums with 3000 people in them is not quite the same as a nice grassy bank with 3000 people at them.

If only Hamilton hadn't stuffed up the pitch there. Looks better now though.

 

[Smudge]

Who needs Gary Pratt when you have Carl Cachopa?

 

[James]

Sarwan is going for broke. Im not sure its the right way to go so early on in the day.

It's a good idea I reckon, what with the pitch being so hard to bat on, why not go for broke, and try and get some quick runs.
