So, first one-dayer in Eden Park against the Aussies on Saturday. A thread seems appropriate.

Anyone going?
How we gonna do?
Which Black Cap is the least competent (tough contest there)?
And how many comments about Hamish Marshall's hair with Ian Smith make?


:lolcricket:

I may be at the game in spirit. Lying in a hammock and drinking a swappa watching it on tv.

Only a swappa?

The whole crate.

Soft.

:hilarious: Ahmeds' a soft cock, neh neh nehnehneh :P

Ahhhh, shit i'm bored.

1 crate is approximately 27 regular beers.
And I eat the crate afterwards.


Call me soft again and i'll punch you in the tits.

yeah, but over an eight and a half hour cricket match, that's only 3.176470588235 beers an hour. And the crate is going to absorb some of the alcohol.

That's still 2.176470588235 beers more than the average liver can process per hour. So it's kinda like drinking 17.5 beers instantaneously innit?

We better fuck the Aussies up, or else I'll be in tears. I may or may not go, we'll have to wait and see.

True, which would probably result in a :eww:
If not a trip to the hospital.

I get the feeling it's gonna be a downtrou this weekend Hauser. The Aussies have been in a take no prisoners mood since the Ashes.

a crate over 8 hours doesn't make you hurl. though your interest in the cricket may have abated somewhat.

just the crate, Ahmed? Eat the bottles too you fuckin pansy.

yeah i reckon the strayans will probably hammer us but we generally do pretty well at home and are a chance

The bottles give me gas, yo.

eating the crate is just stupid, it means you won't be able to get the discount off a new swappa

discounts are for the homeless.

you fool!

They give you money back if you return their delicious crate. Eating it makes the extra few dollars thoroughly worth it. A perfectly good wooden crate full of essential vitamins and minerals for a very reasonable price. Why would you not eat it?

Well, I was at Eden Park last year when Tuffey bowled his 15 ball over, so I can't agree with that (as much as I'd like to).

haha yeah i was there too but i feel we have a better chance on our seaming wickets cos they make our bowlers seem better than they really are. For example the south africans came over here and we smashed them 4or5 - 1. We go over there and got spanked 5-0 (if i recall). and a year or two back the indians got absolutely dicked over here cos they couldnt handle the seam.
and theres no mcgrath or warne so i rate us a shot.

Fair play. The Black Caps are so goddamned inconsistent that they could win any match on any day. It'll be interesting to see how Vettori goes as cap'n against the Aussies, as well.

Bond is back on NZ soil for the first time in a while.

They don't have McGrath or Warne, but they do have McGill, Gillespie, Lee, Kaspowatzonitz and some others who I cant remember but are really quick and fucking dangerous. Any bowler from the b-team or, for that matter, the Wollongong old boys team would make it onto ours. I'd say we're fucked. However, I powers of foresight have been proven to be slightly sketchy with regards to sports on this forum before, so I say that with fingers crossed. Or do I...?

Last time I checked Kaspowitz Magill and Gillespie wernt in the auzzie side. They have a pace attack made up of Brett Lee, Nathan Bracken plus a couple of new boys. We often step up against the auzzies, im giving us a chance.

I'm going, which is bad news for NZ supporters since I've been to 11 games and seen NZ win 1 of those games, a 2 run win against the mighty Zimbabwe. Oh dear.

Make that 12.

33/6. Not the best.

Was a great day on the terraces anyway though, loved the "who lost the Ashes?" chant.

ahh sjot we got a fuckign hiding!

Spanked



Fucking spanked like bitches


Full credit to the terraces, though. Highlight of the day

We got a fat dick in our collective arse. i believe the chant was "you lost the ashes" which i concur was fucking mean. "you lost the netball" was pretty weak though to be fair. Lee's figures were unbelievable. Anus.

I wish I'd watched more of the game today... the number of runs scored by both sides was amazing. I don't want to spoil it for anyone who might still be watching it delayed but crikey doubleplusfucking moses. Not a big cricket watcher, but I've never seen scores anywhere near that. And the run rate over both innings, i.e. 100 overs. Gee fucking willickers.

That last over really hurt. I'm still feeling a bit shit about it. But what a game.

Dammit, I missed the end of the match last night. I was listening on the radio, but switched it off to play FIFA, and forgot to turn it on again for the last few overs. Damn you FIFA! Damn your time sucking vortex powers to hell!

I went to the match on Saturday though. Boy did that suck.

I dont even like cricket and I was on the edge of my seat

Stupid auzzies bowling shitty ground balls.

World record chase :bowdown:

oh man that was awesome last night! :D

hehe I was reading about the upcoming test matches in the air new zealand magazine on the way home, and they promised us a win, and I thought yeah right. sure proved me wrong.
