1st T20: New Zealand v Australia @ Wellington Feb 21, 2024

[PARRA_FAN]

Only one I remember was the first one, where our guys dressed like it was 1975, and Ponting showed he was the best there was at that point in time

That first game stands out for me infact it was 19 years ago the other day. Great uniforms first ever t20, McGrath has a cheeky attempt at an underarm ball only to be red carded by Billy Bowden lol.

Another one was in Perth probably a couple years later, someone got injured and they called a local cricketer in the crowd. I cant remember his name someone might know who he was, he got in trouble some years later.

Pommer’s was a mad merkin. I’ve heard some excellent stories.

 

[Scott]

They called him '"Chemist

Obviously we're all wrong as it has to be named after the inventer and saviour of cricket: The Lord Baz McCallum Shield.

Surprised Baz hasn't got knighthood already tbh.

Especially If Paul Collingwood got an MBE for scoring 7 runs in a test match.

I remember Ryan Campbell used to cover the IPL for a few seasons when it started for ch 7(?). He said one of the teams needed to pick Pommersbach over Jayawardene.

I had a friend who wouldn’t let that suggestion go for 10 years. If you mentioned the IPL around him he just ranted about Campbell.

But yes. Talented player, lunatic off the field. Cricket’s Todd Carney.

Jesse Ryder is a cross between Todd Carney and George Rose.

No Wadey

 

[hineyrulz]

Never trust a merkin with two first names. He’s smacked the arsehole out of that.

 

[_snafu_]

Maxwell bowling rubbish.

 

[hineyrulz]

Great start by the Big Drunk.

 

[yobbo84]

Stupid bowling change, trying to be too clever. Just let Starc do his thing while the ball is moving.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

No Wadey

Disrespecting the good people of New Zealand.

 

[mozza91]

Nice midlife crisis Craig McMillan.

I think that’s the problem. He's withdrawing.

You haven’t seen that, lol

this might help Conway for the proper cricket
