The thing is, I think he calls our attendances poor because there arent a million and 1 people on one poorly made rotting wood 'grandstand' all yelling louder than ten Kiwis combined.

I reckon heaps of NZers give a fuck... maybe I'm mistake. Thought it was our 'summer game' tho?

the only time i like watching cricket is when its the last 20 mins to go and they need 20 runs off 15 balls or something.

Any game that can be played for 5 days and still end up a draw, is fucked to me. :)

eden park had 20000 did it not? :) anyway that kinda crowd is few and far between.

// I think the story is that watching cricket on TV has a lot of relative merits compared to actually going to the game.

i went to a ODI, it was great fun, got drunk as hell, yelled at people and threw stuff. didnt see much cricket though.

// wondering why the hardcore cricket fans don't go to ODI's?

maybe they do and there is only 135 of them nationwide? ;)

nah i wouldnt have a clue jimi

The attendances haven't been great b/c we r smack band in the middle of the holidays.

I was at Eden Park for the first one dayer and there were well in excess of 25,000 people there.

People who don't give a fuck about cricket often claim that people don't give a fuck about cricket, then they prove it by saying they only like to watch the last 20 balls of the game.

I worte a reply to Anil which explained in colourful language the denial he and his countrymen were under and what a prissy fuckface Ganguly is. There is probably a price being put on my head as we speak.

//and what a prissy fuckface Ganguly is.
Haha! Yeah, Ganguly sucks.
Really, really sucks. Like every game.

It would help if you could actually string a sentence together, thirsty_man.

I know that I will more than likely be dismissed as a boring old fuck-head but the correct use of puntuation, along with some semblance sentence structure, would make reading many of the contributions on this site a lot easier. I despair of ever finding correct spelling.

Personally, I blame the schools. And the "instant" culture that has sprung up. I doubt that many of the contributors to these forums actually review their little pearls of wisdom before hitting the Add comment button.

The easiest way is to read it out loud. Does is "sound" right? If so, it is probably written correctly.

I just get very frustrated when I have to re-read posts two or three times to make some sense of them. I am sure that most contributers want to be understood. Or why would they post?

All of whihc doesn't mean that u can't use abbr in ur txt, jst 'membr dat us old fucks are used to reading, so long words don't faze us. The less said about homonyms the better!!!

I feel a lot better now ... tks

//puntuation

I'd be more worried about that - c?
