But this is a lovely story. Seeing the sycamore gap etc etc it’s nice to be reminded that actually we are not a bad bunch of people when it comes down to it. https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/133037876/100-tonnes-of-chalk-used-to-restore-kiwi-carved-into-uk-hill

https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/65955793 Haven’t seen much on this yet, let’s hope it’s the start of something. The thoughts over here are that FIFA will sweep it under the carpet given the opponents.

Just thinking about strikers as managers as posted on the Zlatan thread, and also the new Spurs manager. Got me thinking about goalies as managers. Any successful ones? Can think of Peter Shilton at Plymouth, Ray Clemence did a stint at spuds (?) and Peter Taylor. Any others?

well for us, might be a day too early for you lot. GOAL Albert Adomah Middlesbrough 3-0 Brentford (agg 5-1) Posted at 78 mins Game, set and match Boro. Albert Adomah finishes off a great team move, which started just outside their own penalty area. He plays a neat one-two in the box with Lee...

Nice to see he has won a new contract at Blackburn, pleased for him. Couple of our old keepers doing well.

We’ll, fancy that. Unlucky Sri Lanka, we win by 2 wickets. 1 run off the last ball.

Very wary of a resurgent England here. It'll be interesting to see how our bowling attack deal with a very confident England batting line up - and vice versa. No Boult, Henry & Jamieson for the first test is going to be telling. Likely 11s: New Zealand: Tom Latham, Devon Conway, Kane...

Great to see that Brendan McCullum has the England red ball coaching role. He'll bring a lot of integrity, class, fun and frustration to the games. He's definitely a gambler, will always declare early if he thinks he has a chance. Hold onto your hats ladies and gentlemen.

Just read this in the news over here. Maybe a wee chink of light for Parky? https://www.stuff.co.nz/world/europe/300550096/fully-paralysed-man-asks-doctors-for-a-beer-after-being-given-brain-implant-to-communicate

Going well, just got another wicket. SA are 85 for 6 just after lunch. Mind, we have to bat yet, but looks a good wicket down at Christchurch.
