Black Caps vs Pakistan Preview
I've been weary of Pakistan for a while. Anytime they travel to New Zealand, the best opportunity for kiwis to get a look at them, they look like fish out of water in all aspects of the game.

Ya know, when you're chillin' on a Sunday posted up in front of the tele and one of these lads is at the crease - "Sorry Mum but Nathan Astle's batting" type of shit.
Namaste. Indians Doing The Cricket Thing In New Zeland

Game Sitch (Situation for those who aren't very cool)
- Whangarei, a lovely place to start the Plunket Shield this season. Auckland vs Northern Districts, day 1, what'd we get? Well ND won the toss and opted to bat reaching 244/8. Scott Kuggeleijn's not out on 60 along with Graeme Aldridge who's battlin' away on 3 off 22 balls. Wickets were shared nicely through the Auckland attack and they should look to get in for a bat early tomorrow.
Give Him A Good Dinner
- Kuggeleijn, he's maybe one of the best young cricketers in the country and his all round talents should be getting people excited. Mitchell Santner also got 57 while Colin de Grandhomme bowled tight lines to finish the day with figures of 20 overs, 10 maidens, 1 wicket #CDG.
Observations From The Observatory
- ND are uber strong with their Black Caps but rely heavily on young talent when their away. Some youngsters went good, some didn't.
- I'd watch out if I were facing the Aces attack on a green seamer. Not much express pace, but the likes of Michael Bates, Matt Quinn, Donovan Grobbelaar and #CDG are able to keep batsmen honest.
Well that was easy huh!? Kinda like your first day at a new job, before the shit storm begins.

Mayweather vs Maidana II: Too Easy
There is a line on the horizon towards which this ship is sailing. Already it is becoming difficult to distinguish the vessel clearly through the fog as it gets farther and farther away. And once it is gone, it is gone forever.
Joseph Parker: Still Undefeated
They billed it as an ‘American Invasion’. It wasn’t quite that. More like an underground American smuggling ring. But the task was achieved – Joseph Parker (and Robbie Berridge) got some US network telly airtime, spreading the good name of kiwi boxing to the land of hope and glory and easily accessible assault rifles.
Breaking down the domestic cricket contract lists
Something similar to a bat signal appeared in the sky last Friday, only it was the silohuette of a blade of willow calling our almost bestest cricketers to duty.
