[No Quarter]

So is Williamson injured???

I understand the need to rest sometime duringvthe year but not the fucking captain in the heightvof the fucking season. That'd be like restinga fit Read for the EOYT

Apologies for my profanity if he is injured, and if he is not, it's the most fucking ridiculous decision ever - he's the fucking captain!

I've already ranted about resting Kane earlier in the thread. Ridiculous.

[Siam]

@taniwharugby thanks TR. Please look away while I do my fucken head in!!!!

[Bones]

@siam Wouldn't it be more like resting Read for a June test series?

[Siam]

@no-quarter I'm with you bro. I can't find a semblance, a smidgen of "sounds reasonable" for that decision.

Don't know but I'd bet the house that Kane would prefer playing

[No Quarter]

Another very non-competitve game, I really wanted to see them have a good go at this total. They have a very poor team though.

[Siam]

@bones yeah that's what I meant but rage mist configured against.

He's quoted as saying he won't know what to do with himself, and it will be hard watching from the sidelines. Hesson saying they're trying to ensure the top players don't get burnt out or something. Bowlers... yeah that might make sense. Batsmen just want to bat all day though.

[Paekakboyz]

Far fewer excuses for their T20 squad. But they've been weak sauce yet again. Go Phillips!! Great effort that man.

[No Quarter]

All over rover.

Great debut for Phillips, against a poor opposition but that'll do his confidence some good.

WI outclassed again.

[Siam]

@no-quarter jesus wept

If batting for 3 hours, 3 times a week in a month burns him out, well then it's his job to get burnt out!

I actually feel for wee kane willyballs here

[MN5]

Logging on to the interweb and seeing the Black Caps have cruised to a victory.

This is a massive surprise.

God what a summer. Just as the poms wake up it rains. Without them we're hoping this shower of shit finds some backbone.

Yay a bunch of dudes i have never heard of beat some other dudes from another nation. Wiipee

Point of order - not Phillips' debut - but, you'd be forgiven for forgetting his previous efforts.

[MN5]

Looks like we're batting. Kane Williamson in for Ross Taylor which is a bit like Richie McCaw stepping in for Josh Kronfeld.

Pretty fucken hard to see anything except a big total and a piss poor effort in chasing it to be honest.

[No Quarter]

Yeah, depends on whether the ball does a bit due to the overhead conditions. Could be a bit of a leveller.

[Mokey]

Gah, fucking rain delays.

[Mokey]

Rubbish shot from Guptill, and he's off. 3/1, Kane to the crease.

[Chris B.]

Guptill had one shortish (22 balls) T20 innings for Auckland before being chucked into this series. Looks pretty underdone!

[Chris B.]

Not to be a wowser - but, this Tui one-handed catch promotion will end in tears.

Kid in Nelson got hit in the head by a deflection.

For $50K someone's going to launch themselves somewhere they shouldn't.
