An old potato masher would do the job. They have a longer handle too so you would stay a civilised distance from the log. The mashing motion could risk splashing and would likely stir up the smell, but you can't have everything.

It's strange that Ken Rutherford can't hear that he is pronouncing de Grandhomme's name differently from everyone else.

99/4. Pakistan are firm favourites from here.

JB1981

At 99/3, another wicket here and we are in a bit of trouble.

Has England's poor World Cup showing inflated the perception of turnaround under Jones? Sure they failed to get out of the group, but they were included with the tournament favourites going in, it's not like they were 8th heading in after years of struggling.

What sauces are you going with and how would you rate the quality of wrapping? The experience of even the best kebab can be ruined when you end up with half the satay sauce and hummus down your shirt.

JB1981

This is like watching a highlights reel at the moment. A start like this certainly eases the scoring pressure.

They have stopped ringing me now.

If he was still getting paid that would have been the greatest working day of his life.

I have blocked around a dozen supposedly UK numbers over the past fortnight. They aren't 'Microsoft', but from the one conversation I have had, they are interested in whether I have heard of the stock exchange.

The description on this video is pretty accurate.

Don't miss the South Island Globus. I may be biased but it would be a shame to come all this way and only stay up North.

Evening. You are in a pretty nice spot Number 2.

I thought it was the theory behind most sides picking Will Skelton.

I for one will spiritually be South African for the duration of this series. It's not a braai but I will be having a BBQ tomorrow.

What's the pitch looking like? The more movement the better.

I think Pakistan had won nine matches in a row (maybe not all ODIs) before coming here.

JB1981

The under 19s are on a Sky pop up channel. NZ has just started chasing 234 vs the West Indies. Glenn Philips younger brother is in the NZ side.

JB1981

Anyone know the lowest ODI score ever?

JB1981

16-6 with Munro sending down 118kmph thunderbolts.

Don't say that while the All Blacks on cocaine thread is still fresh in people's memories.
True, we have to draw the line somewhere.
I will rely on this here fred for a blow by blow account.

Score?

JB1981

9-3 off from 10 overs. This score belongs in the late 1980s.

2/3. Boult isn't too bad.

A good start is needed ....... and Santner drops a sitter.

The wicket seems slow but I still think 300 should be the target
They'll need to get a rattle on to make 300 from here.

A big rattle on now and two quick wickets. 275 may be more realistic.

I guess this pretty much sums up this Ashes series from CricInfo... http://a4.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=%2Fi%2Fcricket%2Fcricinfo%2F1132347_1296x729.png&w=920&h=518&scale=crop&cquality=80&location=origin It's a more tasteful summation than http://cdn.newsapi.com.au/image/v1/fbb5d6258ad13855fc50707...

When he didn't set off for the run Guptill looked in two minds - do I stay here and sacrifice the captain or do I go myself? If he'd gone from the start there was an easy second.

JB1981

84-2 in the 21st over after terrible running from Guptill.

Don't they just turn off (or switch to another channel) like I did.

Some people enjoy being offended and able to share it with others. It's an addiction.

If they do ok this year, Scotland could be starting a turnaround.

Not to worry, by the time the rapacious and predatory European clubs are done the ABs will be fielding a Mitre 10 Cup standard team in Japan. They are just doing the lords work in providing support and financial security to poor kiwis when their own country won't. You can't blame the northern hemis...

It's amazing that we have won anything playing with the North's rejects.

It's good to see the system working and decent bans being handed out - up to four years in two of these cases.

Bring back Marty (Banks) - just then man to pull a Beaver 2.0. Seriously though phuck these NH clubs with their shit academies and big wallets.

A new study suggests that certain species of birds in Australia have figured out a way to spread fires in order to terrify — and eventually eat — their prey.

They aren't just hunting with fire, they are setting out to terrify first. That's cold blooded.

Right after Beauden was about to go through the inevitable post-marriage form wilt. This guy has been groomed for years FFS, he may never have been first string material but he was essentially guaranteed a spot in the next RWC squad. Cruden and Soapy in quick succession is a body blow.l We survived...
