Women, cricket and politics
Some of them are worth their weight in gold.
While I've been enjoying a weekend of sun and wine, the better half has been home alone and I arrive home to find 25 boxes packed (I'm moving house on Thursday). Looks like the wedding ring has just got a tad more expensive.
Betting-wise a very consistent weekend. A 100% strike rate (as in struck out). Not too much damage and spent last night getting out of a hole in the SAF NZ cricket test. Every time I get cute with cricket betting by backing the draw with a view to getting out down the track I end up in a hole. Memo to myself: just lay the fkn thing pregame and make life easy.
Didn't see the first 2 days as the hotel didn't have digital but pried open the eyes with matchsticks to sit through last night and pleasantly surprised to see the Kiwis continuing to be competitive. Dodgy wickets tends to even up teams so they are in with a shout. However, given my predictions are wrong more often than not, for nationalistic reasons I will publicly state the Saffers are going to win this one.
A new phrase from a commentator - "he gives his armpits some fresh air" - as Oram presumably lifted his arms upon reaching his century.
Finally, trawling through the written questions from the House of Parliament found a series from a National MP relating to funding of Commonwealth Games sports; for example:
What was the annual investment by the Government into high performance Cycling, in the financial year immediately preceding the 2006 Commonwealth Games and the 2002 Kuala Lumpur Commonwealth Games?
Looking forward to seeing the answer, especially as the 2002 Commonwealth Games were held in Manchester.
