Black Clash T20 match
-
The boundary ropes were a long way in on one of the sides, but it meant more runs and that the rugby team didn't hole out as easily, so I think it added to the game.
That aside, Dan the Man, 2M Peter and Parore were standouts for Team Cricket - Vettori went into the last over having conceded 6 runs off 3 overs and then defended 8 to win with 3 wickets and 5 runs conceded to finish with 3/11 off 4 overs in a T20. Parore's 3 catches and a stumping all standing up to the wicket were a real demonstration of class (he was legitimately a great keeper in his prime) and 2M Peter showed up some of his team mates with a fantastic innings.
Side note on the ACC - they are much better than when they started, but if you're going to refer to 2M Peter as 1.98M Peter (which is technically correct), it's 1.98 metres, not 1.98 centimetres...

Maybe they have seen him naked?

I will take your word on this, I'm assuming from experience?

@rotated my wife went to school with him, but my point was more about saying centimetres when they meant metres.
If you're talking about the quality of commentary, they couldn't commentate at all initially, just make inane comments and observations.

A bunch of ex cricketers beating a bunch of Rugby players at cricket.
Quite a surprising result really.
Pretty happy that my re-entry into sports-betting was "the cricketers are going to beat the rugby players... in a bullshit game of cricket"
There’s obviously a bit of behind the scenes talk about making the game close and a bit of a spectacle.....because there’s no way in hell a team of Rugby players would get within spitting distance of the cricketers if they were trying their best.
Did you see Craig McMillian and the puku’s on some of these “cricketers”. They aren’t going to be steaming in anymore.
McMillan never steamed in even at his best.
Many great cricketers are/were fat. Do you not remember the Jesse Ryder chat on here ?

Oram didn’t look like he could bowl more than 115. Mills looked okayish.
Some of the rugby guys aren’t mugs either. I doubt there is any sort of stitch up going on.

I dunno. The way Fulton all of a sudden smacked all those sixes after being pretty pedestrian initially seemed a bit suss. I also refuse to believe a guy as good as Fleming would get three shit scores in a row against a bunch of rugby players. He hasn’t been retired THAT long.

Fulton played himself in? Waited for easier bowling? Like cricketers do?
Fleming is 47, retired early 2008 (13 years is a long time), only ever played 5 T20s so probably not his thing anyway.
I wouldn't expect too much from him.Some of those rugby players are quite good. Interesting that none of Jordie's coaches know WTF to do with him. He isn't a 14 in rugby and he really should be higher than 7 in cricket well these matches anyway).
I do know what your getting at in general but I don't think it is a stitch up either.

I’m probably massively overthinking it. I do remember Shane Thomson getting Sachin Tendulkar out many years ago.

Letting 'how to dad' bowl an over for the Cricket side certainly helped out the Rugby lads.

He’s still a considerably better cricketer than he is a comedian as well

I didn't watch this game but they obviously tried to include as many rugby players with cricket pedigree (e.g., Spice, Boshier, Dagg, JB, Jordan).

Shouldn't that be 'of Plenty Oval'?

Wrong sport.
Technically it would also make it the Oval, which is far too flash/a good Fawlty Towers line...

Hawkes Bay talk…..but it’s in a cricket thread. I can just picture @Nepia frantically pacing around wondering whether to comment or not.
