  • Field Theory: The Wonder Years,

    Another cricketing memory, being denied by Paddles for an autograph when I was about 7 at Mclean park after a test match. Selfish prick!

    I had a similar thing at a similar age. I saw him at some event in Tauranga and wanted an autograph (though I suspect my Dad wanted it more) but he looked way too angry (Hadlee not my Dad) so I didn't even get to the asking.

  • Hard News: Dropping the Ball,

    Trouble is, it's an audience that already has Sky TV and enjoys watching sport in HD

    Except that there is a difference between Sky TV and Sky TV + Sports. So I am part of the audience that wants to watch all the games but will be glued to free-to-air.

    Also, what is the online coverage looking like?

  • Field Theory: The Wonder Years,

    I don't get why Southee keeps getting to go ahead of him, he's only had 1 good innings.

    Because you do absolutely everything in your power to keep him from getting injured

    Hadyn,
    Would it've killed you to mention this?

    They don't play cricket at the Winter Olympics. Unless... Russia 2014!

    Seriously, how did everyone know about the stream on Prime's website? At Ignite last night nobody I spoke to had heard of it (including some annoyed Canadians).

    Curling, you say?

    Now THAT is comedy.

    thank to it being on sky I saw more of the winter olympics than i did of the summer ones.

    The complete opposite for me. I don't know why I never went to the Sky/Prime website. I suppose because it was usually during work and I guessed (incorrectly) that Sky wouldn't be doing that (they don't for other sports).

    Now I think about it, I saw lots of ads for the coverage, but none mentioned going to the website (compared to TVNZ who pimp their site every minute).

  • Hard News: "Creative" and "Flexible",

    As a public servant who does not work for a radio station, but who also has to deal with no pay rises and budget freezes and budget cutbacks and line-by-line auditing I wonder, where's my Facebook group?

    I do like Radio New Zealand and think that losing it and it's level of quality would be a terrible thing. However, I can't seem to get up enough ire for this particular issue over any other public service.

  • Field Theory: Out with the old,

    Well, that is a bit of a retort to those who think Super 14 is dull rugby--18 tries in the Chiefs vs Lions game this morning

    This assumes you are entertained by watching a team rack up points on your terrible defence

    Think you could go a long way with some marquis, temporary bars (think the heinekin bar from Highlife matakana,jagermeister bus etc) some PA systems, etc.

    Yeah imagine the parties we could have!
