Perhaps they need to sex it up a bit. Do a calendar.
Just like teh Aussie menz?

After enduring an ad, I then get the "This show is for New Zealand viewers only" message. Choice!
Could you please get me a screenshot of that message when you have a moment, Jon? I might need it for a speech ...

He is precisely as good as his average. That's what the averages mean - on average he will get stuff all runs. Which is OK, he is after all a bowler.
What they're referring to -- and they should be competent enough to just say so -- is his first-class record. He has a century and a dozen fifties at that level, and averages 26.
I actually thought Mills showed last night that he's starting to bring that skill level to ODI batting now.

for Haddin cheating
Wow. I was on the tennis at the time and didn't actually catch it till now. That's pretty much indefensible. He knew what happened.

@Hilary
Who mentioned the Mazengarb report? What a beat up that was. My father and my son's great uncle were members of that committee.
You're so getting the call if I make that documentary.

So I did a Google Advanced Search for "PaulHenryFan", just like that, all run together, with the initial capitals.
The sole result was this blog.
I so wanted to believe it was real. I am sad now. And will lie down.

I was going to say "you're a genius", but that clever Italian guy did it.
So I'll settle for "you're back!"

Imagine the unmitigated glee if that fire engine turned up at 4pm at the Big Day Out and turned the hose on everyone.
Crowd Control. U R (unwittingly) doing it rightIt's like a hardcore version of the mist tent!

Because his test performances have not matched his ODI achievements. Not even close.
It's not like he, or NZ, have had a lot of opportunities to change that, though.
And, increasingly, this doesn’t appear to bother him.
Why should it? He's a one-day specialist in a team that specialises in one-day cricket.

And as for boy racers: wouldn't they have been blatting about on Harleys (or similar) 50 years ago? It's just cheap imports and ready credit that' smade it possible for them to do the same with cars. Time for another Mazengarb report?
That did occur to me when I heard John Key going on like it was the most pressing problem the nation faces this morning. Which isn't to minimise the annoyance, and even fear, some of these kids cause in their communities, but it's just political marketing to make that much of it.
It does, however, have a way to go before it reaches the level of social panic generated by the bodgies and widgies of the 50s, or even the frenzy around "bikies" in the early 70s.
I've long been fascinated by the 1960 Hastings Blossom Festival, where there were youth riots and even (allegedly) public fornication.
They got the town fire engine out and turned the hoses on people. Although, judging by this picture, that wasn't very effective.
