Christmas: a time for being miserable, drinking loads of gin and being forced to watch T20 series that almost always finish 1-1. Plus some other programmes.
Australia bashing was the order of the day this week, following events at the WACA. Plus some inappropriate man-love for Tim Southee.
England’s hammering in Ahmedabad was the main topic of discussion this week, although the prospect of Sven-Göran Eriksson managing in the A League was close behind. Plus NZ got their traditional kicking, despite Aussie Matt’s growing infatuation with Tim Southee.
Day twelve – crunch time for England. One more dismal performance and they can pencil in a few episodes of Mike & Molly to watch while the semi-finals are taking place.
Day ten should be the best day of the World T20 so far. Although day nine was pretty good.
Day Six sees some of the proper nations in action. Plus New Zealand are playing as well.
Yesterday saw thrills, spills, and poorly conceived bets that the Zimbabwean total would not pass 80 runs. While we wait for that unfortunate gambler to pay up, we get ready for the entertainment day four will hopefully provide.
Group D contains New Zealand, which is basically a red rag to a bull as far as 51allout criticism goes.
With two Test series set to run concurrently on opposite sides of the world, we know which one we would rather be attending. We have a look at the West Indian and New Zealand camps and see what we can expect over the next month.
The third in our series of end of season review looks at New Zealand. Was it truly a winter of discontent? Or was that just because it wouldn’t stop raining?
