Wow…….luckily you can’t suspend a guy who is already retired but what the fuck, how is this anything more offensive than a mild piss take from our ex skipper ?

"These guys should learn to respect innocent fans, who give them more love and respect than they deserve, ungrateful bunch," another Twitter commentator said.
Twitter "commentators" they are now. Good grief.

Hopefully this craze will blow over sooner rather than later. It must be exhausting to be them

Sorry peeps, been away from the fern while I oncentrate on watching live tests rather than just listening to them and then watching the days play later.
- Gary Stead is still a moron.
- Santnav's test career should end now - Ajaz and Ravindra offer much more (still not saying much but that pitch is not a bunsen and that's only day 1 anyway)
- Henry bowled a lot more clinically than I had thought he was capable of - but I think his peak years have passed by - a victim of having three all time great NZ bowlers operating for the last 5 years.
- I'm feeling a bit more optimistic about the WTC - our batting depth can be good - one middle order collapse seems to be about par for most sides in a season (unless you are the Pomgolians) - there's no need to shoehorn in Santnav when Kylo is superior in all facets - and having wags bat at 11 is a travesty - Lovely Trenty could bat at 10 and with our 1-7 batters I'd not be worried
The NZ Cricket Team seem to have got spectacular batting collapses down to a fine art and when they do happen they are things of wonder (depending on whose side of the fence you are on). The longer we go without one then as sure as James Blackwell's continued selection for the Hurricanes the closer we are to bombing out big time, probably when it really matters the most.
I think this is a bit of an outdated stereotype about our team.
Even with KW out I look at that top six and take comfort in the law of averages dictating that at least one of them will score pretty big and a couple will hopefully support him.

Without Devon Conway in the last game, with a bit part from Nicholls, we would have been poked

Well um yeah but given cricket is a team game essentially based on individuals performing you could say this about most games. You don’t see scoreboards of Latham getting 42, KW 54, Rossco 45, Nicholls 43, Watling 38 etc……( ie their test averages ) more a case of one getting heaps, a couple of others chipping in and a couple getting fuck all.
You’re forgetting Southees bowling performance too !

I know everyone will be surprised to see me posting something in depth about cricket.
But what the fuck happened to Bumble this morning, did he go on a fox hunt, crash into grandpa's fancy dress and take a trip through Tim's yacht rock playlist?

In all my born days - a Kiwi spinner who can turn the ball. Who've ever believed it.
Need to digress here ...
Channel surfing and watched highlights of a 93/94 ODI last night, and Shane Thompson bowling spin. Cleaned up Border with a ball that spun massively.
By the way ... this current crucket is fucking shut
