Wasn't quite sure what you meant so had a look. Bit weird eh. I blinked and they went from dirt to turf. Thought channel had changed.
Sounded like they were having a good time over there too.
Well Nev got his pants pulled down there big time.Good punting by you Porky.Lucky you only listened to yourself.
Good on the Tigers always trying their best.
I was there that day too Ted. I didn't see you.
Fantastic race. I was thinking this horse is a goner. How disappointing. Then he picked up again and raced past them to win easily. Magic. Good racing and good horses back then.
If my memory serves me well I think the others were Campanile Proud Chief and Honour Bound. Cheers
Yeh Peg fantastic effort.
Quiet achievers. Ok it wasn't very quiet at the end. Good for them girls to keep improving as they did.
Yes very proud to be a Kiwi though off shore in Oz currently
hahhah well done Trentham boys and girls..We sat back smoking our pipe and hit the line with a wet sail.
Good onya team mates.And great effort Swoopa.What a champ.
Well done Waterlea too.Just a bob in it.
Yes hard to hit a randomly moving bat at high speed from 30 metres. Poor ol Guppy unlucky to nail it. And at the perfect angle to send it to the boundary. Unbelievable bad luck.
I wonder if poor old Smithy has pinked himself off the floor yet
Fair point. If we asked Williamson he probably would have valid reasons. I thought he should have done it himself. On a hiding to nothing really. If we lost with him there the critics would have been onto him.
Our bowlers certainly were our spearhead. Wonder how CDG would have gone in the Super over . He performed well in the game
Spot on Gaz I doubt there was any hesitation picking Boult. You can't begin to imagine the pressure these guys were under. I doubt I would be able to get it on the pitch. Be a bit like John Howard's famous attempt at bowling. Nearly hit him on the foot .
On the count back why didn't they go to 6s scored first instead of 4s. No one probably ever thought it would get that far. Unbelievable game regardless of the result. Proud of our boys.
PS. The Sharks form is a concern !!
Should have gone with Neesham and Williamson with the golden over probably.But hindsight is a wonderful thing.
Pretty easy to sit back on the keyboard and criticize the captaincy, bowling and batting.
Not many runs scored or wickets taking on the keyboard.
Congrats to England though by crikey they had some luck.
