You guys crack me up.
Where’s the bit when Stacey is
Walking on water? -
One kick and collect
And one regulation bomb
Look at all the praise -
Old Man Stacey Jones
Plays a full 50 minutes
And a nation melts. -
Re the Mt. Manganui v Rotorua thing.
BoP is the most bitterly divided union in the country. The move to the Mount is a recent thing and is linked to Blue Chip finance sponsorship. Clarkson’s in the mix there somewhere too I think.
The ground where they play there is a speedway track and totally rubbish for watching rugby at, as well as being too small.
So, despite contributing most of the players, and having the much bigger stadium, Rotorua doesn’t get to host NPC (or whatever it’s called these days) rugby. A split where Rotorua joins up with Taupo is not far away.
Anyway, it’s not really fair on the travelling fans to ship them off to a retirement village and expect them to enjoy themselves.

Brian Waddle in Pakistan in 2002 being another good example of that RI.
He's never been the same since.

We may just have to face it that ODIs are dog tucker.
The only question is if it can limp on long enough for us to co-host the 2015 World Cup.

Can I assume then that you didn't read my original post?
Ah, but I’ve read your other ones too...
It also makes TV rights easier to sell (hey, it might even make free-to-air)
Not a chance. The whole T20 phenomenon (including the wars) is all about Pay TV.

@Legbreak and Ben
If either of you guys get along on Friday drop me a line and we can hook up and compare notes.
So we can listen to you go on about how much you don’t like cricket? :)

Ben,
I've got a media pass (2) for Friday, but may not be able to go.
Drop us a line if you want it; otherwise we could do a joint competition to win them?

Prince B can do the nudge into gap and run very well, although I'll admit the chips into the gap for 2 aren't a particular forte.
He's also got a superb cover drive.So has Roos Taylor but we don't get to see that too often.
