Wow, Chappelli must be reading this site:
“Australia are now not only a team searching for answers and confidence but are also a side whose aura has faded,” Chappell wrote in London’s The Sunday Telegraph.
“This lack of an air of invincibility will be the hardest thing to rediscover.”
I said something like that too.
And if I didn’t [...]

The proverbial one horse race is now starting to look a little bit more crowded.
Mid-way through the tri-series no one would have given you a thing for the Aussies to win the World Cup.
All of a sudden, it’s an 8 horse race.
If you were taking a four horse boxed quinnella (see www.tab.co.nz!) then here’s what [...]

OK, lets get the numbers sorted first. If the Argies join the Tri Series then it can’t be the Tri Series any more. Glad we got that sorted.
On the surface, the Argies joining the Four Nations (sounds like a 60’s pop group doesn’t it?) sounds like a really good idea.
OK, it would add to the [...]

It’s week 4 of the Super 12 plus a couple of other teams and you’d expect things to be settling down a bit.
By now, we should have a fair idea of how the resting of the AB’s are going.
At the end of week 4, the Canes and the Blues are in the top two positions, [...]

The Aussies are taking the recent losses well … yeah right.
The Tui boards couldn’t have said it better.
Even former-coach Bobby Simpson (no relation to Bart) is having a crack at the Aussie team and Shane Watson in particular.
You’d like to think that from here it would be tough for the cobbers to claim the World [...]

Even Peter Fitzsimmons is getting into the Aussie bashing.
Take the medicine
Stand still, these won’t hurt a bit. From a Kiwi mate:Q. What’s the difference between an Australian bowler and a rubber tyre? A. A rubber tyre rises to the pressure.
Q. What’s the difference between an Aussie bowler and a pack of Immodium? A. A pack [...]

OK, so the Aussies have lost 3 zip to NZ and 2 zip to the Poms.
Want to see pix of NZ beating Oz?
Sorry but how about a picture of Brett Lee injurying him self.
Try a GALLERY of Brett Lee pictures.
It’s hard-lee worth blogging about …

Time to make the big decision.
Who to bat number 4 in the cricket world cup?
Who’s going to win this week’s games in the Super14?
Nope – the big decision is what happens next with the NZ A-league license. (If you still need help, we’re talking about the Knightz. And if you need MORE help, that’s “football” [...]

I was confident we would win all three Happle * games. Yeah right.
I was relieved when we the first, over the moon we won the second and turned off the internet when we were 8 down in the third. More fool me.
The Aussies are making a lot of play about the fact they had so [...]
