[wittyz chick]

some before hand news:
Lance Klusener out with lower back-strain replaced by Albie Morkel (to make debut)
Jacques Rudolph in doubt with the flu if out he will be replaced by Ashwell Prince
Graeme Smith also still has the flu which has given him chest infections (which he battled with in the 2nd match) is taking stronger antibiotics to be fit for the match...he will still play

Theres not much chance of play tomorrow
Theres heavy rain in Wellington,Wairarapa & Manawatu with more flooding in these areas (The lightning was pretty cool though 8) )
The Rimutaka hill is closed too

Well it's the only game of the series that we don't get live over here so if any had to be cancelled I'm glad it's that one.

I heard Ian Smith (my GOD he's annoying! He's even worse during the rugby) saying the cake tin was under 2 feet of water....I guess it'd be hard to get it ready on time, will the surface be ready for the Super 12?

 

[That Guy]

Yea, unlikely that there will be any play tomorrow in Wellington.
Rain +Concert=No game

P.S: Smithy is all good !

 

[Anonymous]

Jeeeez Smithy is anything but all good!

He is awful during the cricket. Every stint in the box all he does is talk about rugby! I mean I like rugby but Smithy I'm watching the cricket! And why does he call the rugby? He WAS a kiwi CRICKETER but from the way he talks you'd never guess it.

The worst thing about Kiwis (especially commentators, and even more so Ian Smith) is that they have the biggest rap on themselves no matter how shite they are ;-)

I'm looking out the office window at the Stadium and there is sunlight streaming onto the field. Unfortunetly there is no wind at all. so It is doubtfull whether it will be dry enough.

No

The thing is that Aussies want us, and expect us, to go on about how shite we are....

I've always found New Zealand commentators to be objective, and Ian Smith is no exception.

This sucks. We don't get it here .

I think it's because the 1st Australia/Sri Lanka game is tonight and they need to squeeze the Super12 tonight in somewhere.

 

[wittyz chick]

they normally play the game n it usually finishes at 8 (or after depending on over rates) and it is bcoz of the Australia/Sri Lanka match bcoz that match starts at 7:15 and its an Australian network so they get rid of the other cricket game...but if u ask me id rather the nz/sa match coz its tied n it shud b a big match plus i prefer south africa ova australia(and im aussie :lol: )
