    4-6, 6-3, 7-6, 6-7, 70-68.

    This is the place to post it, right? Just wow.

    For sure. I believe it's customary to also say who won though!

    Mate! It was Tennis

    More on the
    ball
    :

    Seems the transition from turbulent to laminar flow is a fraction quicker than the last WC ball.

    More goals??? Rid the game of off side. It transformed hockey. AND has not resulted in more aerial play that everyone argued would happen. Imagine, the whole field now being available. It would stretch the defence, increase the space and speed it up. No lines of fullbacks, no off side traps.

  • Hard News: Friday Beep Test,

    Ummm.. Have I missed a whole blog somewhere on the Tibet, China, Norman thing this week?

    But just in case I haven't. The vision that kept popping into my head as it unfolded was the Ian Fraser Interview with the Shah of Iran years ago when the bastard came out on an "Offical Royal Tour". Fraser had the audacity to ask him about the human rights issues in his country. Imprisonments, murders etc. AND on taxpayer's TV!

    Fraser got keel hauled by all and sundry. MPs, Prime Ministers, concerned mother of fours.

    We do seem to miss the point. But it is interesting that it is the media who were ACTUALLY there who have supported Norman's view - at least in spirit - that he didn't start it. Further, the MPs, NATs & ACT have conveniently overlooked the more important issue of foreign security running roughshod over a flag carrier in Parliament(!!!). Thats the bit that is truly concerning.

    I hate to say it but where was our security? Was one NZ MP "nothing to worry about".

    Russell, any chance of wheeling and dealing to get that interview available on the (any?) TV archive???

    It was a pleasure to see Bertos running at defenders for the first time since his injury break mid-season

    Amen to that. I just hope he and others keep doing it and "give it a go". It is a pleasure to watch NZ with the confidence to PLAY with the ball rather than smash and grab and hoick it up the other end.

    We do still have a little of that and we saw it during the italy game but when the move up the patch was done it was done with a hell of a lot more purpose than just a "wow..I'm up the sideline...when shall I centre it?" kind of attitude.

    And Chris Wood...juggling it over Cannavaro...nice. More please!

  • Speaker: Knuckleball,

    No, it's because it took a deflection on the edge of the box.

    Yes, deflection but have a look at the spin of the ball after the deflection. Top spin and it helped it curl down.

    Played ping pong??
