Re: Sail GP in Lyttelton Harbour, Christchurch, NZ
Auckland is probably a better option anyway - easier for a crowd to watch (more vantage points) I would have thought and without an endangered species present. I get the frustration but presumably the restrictions were known to Sail GP and Coutts when they signed up for the location. Unless an unexp...

Re: Blues v Crusaders @ Eden Park - Saturday
A stuff article (Marc Hinton I think) described this as an acid test for the Blues.
The Crusaders being talked of so highly was the highlight of the season for me.

English cricket’s toxic culture
In a shocking development it has been revealed that the ECB has been exposing England’s cricketing youth to toxic material. Hulk-like batsmen could light up the T20 circuit and Spider-Manesque quick bowlers slinging it down would be impressive, but is this taking things too far? https://www.stuff.co...

Re: The Crusaders 2024 Thread
Maybe we have gone full circle back to 1996.
The wooden spoon could be on the cards this year, a solid mid-table the season after and then a glorious three-peat from 2027-2029.
Rob Penney took on a huge ask following Razor and with all the departures, but the injuries/illness on top are killers.

The idea about property owners getting special treatment wasn’t helped when Grant Robertson started talking about “closing a loophole” when interest deductibility was removed. That messaging could have been picked into a lot more but was often taken at face value.

Re: NZ hosting Australia 2024- Cricket series thread
300+ minimum I reckon and realistically 350+. The positive is that it’s doing a bit with the new ball. Matt Henry is the big hope with the ball.
As I type this Blundell has gifted his wicket away.
