What a game!
Well, we lost but theres very little shame in that when you lose by 2 runs and have scored 320. 642 runs a days cricket .. you can’t ask for much more than that. And the atmosphere at the stadium was great. I’m off to the cricket wilderness of Pittsburgh for a few weeks, so [...]
I need a student ID
Ok, so I’m planning to go watch some hockey when I’m in the states over Christmas. The Penguins have a great deal if you are a student, the Penguins Student Rush. Basically you turn up 1 hour before the game, and get the best of the seats unsold for $20. So now I just need [...]
2 points from History
Well the kiwis came very close to historic back to back wins tonight, still losing 28-26 is still pretty respectable and it was a great game to watch. I hope the NPC final tomorrow night is as good. Hopefully the black caps will win the 20-20 game too, though im not staying up till 4am [...]
World XI vs Australia
Yay its cricket season in the southern hemisphere. Tonight the World XI are playing Australia in Melbourne, and Daniel Vettori has started the series really well. He took 4-33 off his 10 overs when bowling, hopefully he will do well with the bat as well. Currently the World XI arent chasing so well at 61-3 [...]
Damn that was frustrating.

Very good weekend for sports.
Well all apart from the Wellington Lions playing some woeful rugby on Friday night, its been a good weekend for sports so far. Shane Bond has returned with a roar to One day cricket, smashing through the Indian batsman, to help NZ win a game that should have been Indias. Then last night in one [...]

It worked last week.

No rugby this weekend
Whats a man to do. For the first time in quite a few weeks there is no games of Rugby to watch. I guess I’ll have to watch the Warriors lose a close game instead. UPDATE 2005/07/16: And they proved me wrong In one of the better come backs you will see, the warriors came [...]
Well that was a Shellacking!
What a game, Dan Carter was magnificent. I was worried in those first 10 minutes, but when the AB’s got their defense sorted it was all over. I have to say how utterly fantastic the Lions fans are. Gracious in defeat and seeming to thoroughly enjoy themselves. I cant say the same for the lame [...]
