Wait until Jessie comes back guys…

Ed; I hear what you’re saying, but I felt we (Vettori and Styris) let ourselves down badly too.

If it does go full contact at least Rob Key is assured a game for England again.

The mighty Key would be able to use his weeble-esque stature to great effect, you just wouldn’t be able to keep the man down!

randominanity,

Ma’a Nonu in the Black Caps… that made my day! Forget this IPL crap with its handbags and bling – let’s have contact cricket!

No, wait, forget it. The SAffers will win everything.

Legbreak,

I can only speak for myself, but I think the only people who should feel embaressed over Wednesday’s debacle is the England cricket team. Their behavior was bang out of order and I have to wonder whether the same thing would have happened if Mr Stanford hadn’t organised that 20 over knock about.

KC and co,

Is there much comment in England about the silly way that Vettori and co had their little hissy fit?

Because I, for one, am pretty embarrassed about it.

Do they really need to, with the likes of Oram, Styris and Angry Mark Gillespie?

I for one am enjoying the spectacle of cricket becoming a full contact sport.

I hear the Black Caps are considering drafting All Black mid-fielder Ma’a Nonu as a lower middle order batsman. That way any future mid-pitch collisions will be in their favour.

Wandering out of your crease before the ball’s dead is bit different to a high-speed collision with thirteen stone of Yorkshireman, SixSixEight!

And New Zealand would never consider taking advantage of an unusual situation to get a runout now would they! Anyway taking a quick single in the vicinity of Bulkybottom is always going to be risky.

But KP as captain, that is quite some punishment!

The Kiwis won’t have to serial-appeal now now that Colly has been banned. Bet he wouldn’t have been given such a swingeing sentence if he’d taken back the appeal. PAH!

Still – if the arse KP captains England I won’t have to support them and suffer agonies as they self destruct again.
