I assume Ruben Love will be in Team Rugby considering he was in the squad last year. Awesome to see the Honey Badger there, hopefully they get him mic'd up.

Despite myself I’m sure I’ll have a beer or two and watch this tonight all the while whinging that it must be fixed and the the cricket guys aren’t trying hard enough.

Final team lists:

Also:

The Ford Double Play returns to the T20 Black Clash!

In this over, each run scored will earn double runs for their team

2 runs = 4 Ford Double Play runs

4 runs = 8 Ford Double play runs

6 runs = 12 Ford Double Play runs etc.

Unfortunately, the Alternative Commentary Collective are the commentary team again.

I won't bother watching coz of that. But, I guess it caters for the audience they want.

[Stargazer]

@ARHS Yeah, I'll watch, but the mute button will be used a lot, tonight, until I get sick of it.

The ACC are pretty shite which is a shame cos Hauraki drive is rather amusing.

Can't believe I didn't know that!

Edit: I see he even played a test in 2009 and went on an Ashes Tour. I have no memory of him.

I think Chris Martin should open the batting

The (only?) funny thing about the Alternative Commentary Collective and their vocal fans is that they usually turn each time they're on TVNZ into 'tee hee, boring old people hate us and complain about us heaps, okay Boomers!! LOLz'

Hate is too strong. Listening to them is just Meh and constant repetition after the first five minutes or so...

I've been wondering if they'll do that as a gimmick (well, one of many )

Or when they give someone a nickname and make sure they repeat it 50 times in case we missed it.

Hauraki is great though so it’s a shame commentary doesn’t work for them as a medium

Jason Hoyt is opening the commentary with the extremely unfunny pair of Ben Hurley and Dai Henwood.

She could be a long night.
