Tonight’s Cricket

By black caps, Cricket and Sport

20/twenty, or 20–20, or whatever they call it offi­cially got my vote this even­ing. Very cool. As a con­sumer that just com­mit­ted to Saturday’s first ODI, I am thrilled at the West Indies fight-back. As a Black Caps fan my response has to be: ????

Other thoughts…

  • Chris Cairns was either wear­ing a shirt that was a little bit too small or he had a very enjoy­able Christmas
  • I hope they iced Bravo up big-time as I want to see him at his best on Saturday
  • Chris Gayle’s afro is awe­some – I love it. Like Jimi Hendrix without the headband.
  • Nobody can bowl straight under pres­sure except for Shane Bond!
