    Bondy can still bring a bit of heat.

    That was quite a sharp bouncer to Read.

          Read's innings is going a bit like the end of his rugby career. Not doing enough but somehow managing to stay in.

            @crucial They must be an acquired taste. Frankly, the voices in my head are funnier...

            On a slightly different note - I haven't played cricket in a while. What pitches do we have other than Bay Oval and ND variants these days?

            Hagley Oval is excellent.

                        They're fucking relentless - I'll give them that.

                        Certainly didn't go to the Richie Benaud school of commentary.

                        I'm using my mute button discretely to pretend Richie is teaching them the value of silences.

                                  @anonymous Sounded like it.

                                  I think that might have been a bit of a job done dismissal.

                                    Enjoyable watch especially the Bond double up over. But the commentators were excruciatingly bad and so repetitive.

                                      Even as a fan of their radio work I can’t disagree to be honest.

                                      I know the cricket guys are a long time retired in many cases but to lose to a bunch of rugby players is a bit embarrassing surely. Bond and Mills looked like they were trying pretty hard as well.

                                        A good night out at Bay Oval.

                                        From memory of previous years, and from reading the thread, one of the best parts of being at the ground was not hearing the ACC take a once half-decent joke and repeat it 20 plus times. Brodie and the ground announcer also tried their best to do that, but at least there was respite when the ball was in play. 🙂

                                        The teams felt selected to give a good chance of bringing it back to 2-2, McCullum and Devcich being T20 specialists at any time. Great to see Bond off the long run one more time. And st. Parore b. Vettori!

                                          Enjoyable watch especially the Bond double up over. But the commentators were excruciatingly bad and so repetitive.

                                          Even as a fan of their radio work I can’t disagree to be honest.

                                          I know the cricket guys are a long time retired in many cases but to lose to a bunch of rugby players is a bit embarrassing surely. Bond and Mills looked like they were trying pretty hard as well.

                                          @mn5 It's the Has-beens vs the Might-have-beens.

                                          Many of the rugby guys played under-age rep cricket - several made NZ rep teams.
