Wasn't last night fun?

The NZ sportsfan had a choice last night of watching the NZ league team getting absolutely thrashed by Australia or the NZ cricket team on the road to an absolute dorking by the South Africans. All this from a nation whose sporting mission is "winning consistently in events that matters to New Zealanders".

I'm disappointed no-one has come on here to shove my prophetic words on the league down my throat. I stand by what I say - we have left the days of 30-point thrashings behind. If the Kiwis play like that in the future, we will enter the days of 40 and 50 point thrashings.

What pisses me off about the cricket is the batsmen will get it in the neck whereas the bowlers are actually more to blame for the crap they served up in the first hour. On the most NZ-type pitch they will ever encounter overseas, they tried too hard to get wickets instead of what they have learnt at home - on such pitches, put the ball in the right spot and let the pitch do the rest. The horse has bolted - at least I won't have to endure 5 days of 2 a.m. bedtimes - this should be over in 3.
