    three absolute bangers to start WC round, every game going down to the last possession.

    @frugby I did wonder how things would play out if Fakatava and Pledger both had the season of their lives who they’d handle that. There’s every possibility Fakatava takes the third halfback slot in the All Blacks with a decent season.

    Rayasi was voted Man of the Match after Bordeaux's demolition of the Northampton Saints (50-28). Please watch the highlights and tell me what do you think of him.

    @Bovidae said in Black Caps tour of India:

    It was closer than I expected in the end. I read that a late dropped catch by Mitchell was costly.

    Adi Ashok also dropped one in the 48th over which also proved costly.

    The story about Carse in a casino sounds interesting.

    What was that story???

    From the Telegraph via Stuff. Looks like the event itself was in a cafe, just that the team were staying in a casino:

    The morning after England’s sucker-punch of an opening Ashes defeat in Perth, Brydon Carse was sat at a riverside cafe with his team-mates Zak Crawley and Harry Brook.

    Carse put his hand in his pocket, and accidentally dislodged what eyewitnesses described as thousands of dollars in cash that flew into the air.

    Patrons of the cafe, including English cricket journalists enjoying a quiet coffee, were left scrambling to grab the cash and return it to Carse. Crawley looked mortified.

    The incident, whether innocent or otherwise, acts as an emblem for an Ashes tour that was loose, careless and at times downright baffling.

    Bear in mind that Carse, just a year prior, had served a three-month ban for betting on cricket matches, which leads us into England’s curious choice of where to stay in Perth.

    Loose behaviour and a casino stay

    England opted to stay at Crown Towers, an opulent casino complex that is home to one of the best hotels in Australia. It was within a short walk of the new stadium, but living in a casino for weeks, with a total of two competitive days of cricket after the first test ended so quickly, put temptation everywhere.

    The players, often well-oiled, frequented the casino’s tables in full sight of England fans and other punters, some of whom were there because it was one of the only places in Perth open after hours and showed Premier League football.
