Nice one! AFC kind of made it a couple of years ahead of schedule, the funnel of good academy boys are a little bit young but hopefully they can hang in there.

Made the Southern League now and their academy is enormous. Pretty impressive what they have done in 3 years, without even having a club rooms!

Wānaka AFC.....!

Thought that too, he had a bit of a backswing on it

Who are you backing?

Two things.

1. Why is there no test cricket. NZ don't have a game again until July. If you tell me it is because of T20i, the ICC need to take a good hard look at themselves.

2. Stokes did not need to play that dead rubber against us in Hamilton. He had already tweaked his leg. Should have sat

Football career not withstanding

Tough with a bowler out

In New Zealand our legislation offers workplace coverage to permanent paid fire fighters (cool) for some cancers that can be caused by carcinogens but doesn't offer it for volunteer fire fighters (shitty and boooooo). There are 2500 paid guys and 12500 volunteers.

"To you" - "To me" - "No Run!"

Ha no, and happy to name them. Marnus and Steve. 😆 Head is a good lady I did 4 years in Adelaide too so good to see a Redback player going well.

For sure. Interestingly, aside from a couple of Australian batsmen who I won't name, both sides are full of talented AND likeable players. So a series for the ages would be awesome 👌

I hope the Ashes is an all time series as an "impartial".

Hope so. But even out of form he just left it on width or length and survived

We have batted recklessly for no reason, even the top order late on day 1 refusing to leave the ball. From the get go. McSweeny and Marnus survived a Bumrah barrage late in Adelaide, left 47% of balls just to set up the next day for the middle order. Baz ball in our head

NZ refuse to leave the ball, accept it is day 1, accept we can't pull off a Baz Ball copycat or bat within the context of the game. Story of the series. #ENGvNZ
