The Silver Fern

Bellamy and the Storm have been unreal, I would suggest we may have been predicting their demise for longer than a decade but still kill it. Depends on how long Bellamy also stays I guess. Big losses to the make up of that team but lets see

so we lost Ineos and gave gained toyota and gallagher, is it basically just those two are covering what we got from Ineos or has this been a net gain?

Tannah Boyd?

Yuck

When I first saw him play, I told my mate that he'd be the starting QLD 7 one day.

Hasn't quite worked out.......yet haha.

Maybe the Warriors can work their magic on him like we did turning Barnett into an Origin player. 😉

We're as likely to do a Townsend on him where he's mud for us and then goes on to win premierships with other clubs.
Ha, my mate then went on to say the exact thing in regards to Barnett. Hope he goes well and is more James Maloney instead of Jeff Robson.

I can’t comment on the Pakistani Rugby team or the French cricket team though.

Why stop now? Lack of knowledge hasn't gotten in your way before.

Never a truer word spoken

Read somewhere a year or so back that Devon and Rachin used spend a lot of time practicing together around Wellington cricket, so that may have been a big plus when they got to bat together too.

You’re right but it also includes Tom Blundell. Apparently the three of them get up early and go running together before they all hit the nets. Really helping each refine each other’s weaknesses. Obviously paying off.

I love Conway. Seriously classy player. I just wish we’d got him earlier cos he’s no spring chicken.

Then again, sometimes throwing young fellas into international cricket can fuck with their confidence etc.

Really a poor power play by NZ,with the pitch slowing up that was the time to hit boundaries with the field up.
Poor field settings when Pakistan were chasing to easy to find gaps no pressure applied.
A ridgid bowling plan which made it easy for Pakistain to plan their run chase.
And really a bad bowling effort lost length badly and not enough off pace deliveries no knuckle balls, virtually nothing out of the back of the hand.
Shit performance all round with no vision to change things up.

We saved our worst outing for last, although I felt that we had started to stall even in the games against England and Ireland

Yep I agree,It had that feeling we were fading around the England game.
