The fact that no one's responded to this thread in 8 hours probably means that KBers couldn't give two shits about either cricket, or Australians....... :confused:

So the cricket was hit and giggle but the night was very entertaining for mine - forget the result - you guys just rock.
I'm old enough to remember those terry towelling hats and headbands first hand, but damn i enjoyed the beige. 4.4 years i've been here now and i love this county's sense of humour.

Can that be the end of underarm anger? please, believe me - the sane ones of us were just as pissed off as rod marsh was.:yeah:

Not as much as you guys huh

I agree that the cricket was secondary to the actual event. I think I would get a bit bored after too much.
But the party looked great fun - reminds me of the rugby sevens.

As for the underarm thing - leave us to our righteous indignation.
It provides a rallying point for us as a nation - sad as that may seem. :angry2:

I had no idea Mr. McGrath had a sense of humour, he normally looks so serious, good on him though...he should've bowled that ball. I thought the beige, the facial hair and the 'fro's were tremendous.

Billy Bowden is an idiot, though.

Yip, but it is interesting next to all those carrot up the bum other umpires.

I wouldn't mind if he only umpired the 20/20 stuff, but when it comes to "real" cricket, he should realise that a good umpire is invisible for most of the time.

I was there and had a bloody good nights entertainment. The fun side of the game added to the enjoyment, good on the players for having a laugh. Beige rocks!

P.S. Was Marshall's afro real?????

Did Vege go?
He's keen on leather and willow....

Marshalls (usually curly) hair was teased out.

I did try and tempt him out but no go. Trying to get him to a midweek day in March but not having much luck.

I think he prefers his leather black and of german origin......

We've got a corporate box at Seddon (Westpac) Park here.
About as much use as a chocolate teapot now.

I am going to the ODI at Eden Park next week.

I can't get to the ODI next week unfortunately. We must get the TV set up in Vege's office for the tests. It is still sitting in a box on his office floor!!

I found it last week! I was in there on my knees when I suddenly fell forward onto my face. When I pushed myself back up, an invoice from 1987 had stuck to my forehead revealing a small area of grey carpet. Upon further investigation and removal of more wayward paperwork and bike parts etc a full wall to wall carpet was discovered. Waitakere council have now declared it protected and nothing else can be removed from the office without official consent. Vege may be in there for some time before approval for his removal can be granted.

It would be a job for the toxic waste people, surely?
His liver alone would consitute a enviromental threat to the surrounding five city blocks, wouldn't it?

They won't come near the place since 'The Incident'. Apparently they are not paid enough or something. Anyway, we now steer clear of the Korean restaurant.

Six blocks currently due to the availability of Monteiths Radler which is (luckily) only on sale for a limited time.

You know it's the inverse over the ditch - only you have to go a long way to find somebody aware of Rugby Union.

Damn jafaas :cool:

Well, we caught a sniff as it was hustled from one vehicle to another right under our noses. It's Friday too, and I don't think there is any in the KR fridge.

Or perhaps people sleep at that time of the night. The cricket was quite entertaining - better than having to sit thru a whole day game. And there is an Australian living down the road from me - rides a Ducati - he's not a bad sort :)

I love talking cricket (although I'm not sure if 20/20 qualifies as cricket). I talk cricket to the Aussies on AdvRider and it drives the Septics nuts...

The cricket was great. It may not be to everyone's taste, particularly the traditionalists, but it was pretty much a sell out crowd, 29,000+. If it can increase the popularity of the game and put more bums on seats then it can't be a bad thing.
I think we are lucky to see it, the members of Lords or the MCC would never allow the fun and antics to take place. Muttonchops at the Oval? Never happen.
