True, but in most cases it wasn't just bad luck or a mental thing - they had real deep-rooted technical flaws that were repeatedly exposed by world class pace bowling. Not what you want in an opener. It is a shame, though.

It's not necessary to have that much depth in the batting but Oram and Cairns are both far better options than Stuffey, Adams, Franklin etc. And sorry Angus, but Lou Vincent really was a very shit player.

 

[Me Rug I Sty]

Aye, I can't remember a heap of Vincent, but he's probably been one of better openers in previous years? But we've had better....

[JoBear]

You can't remember anything about Lou Vincent because he was shit. End of.

I'm now an editor. I used to be a producer, which meant I typed up captions from scratch for TV programmes, as well as doing the news; now my job is to edit the captions others have done, as well as still doing the news. And I'm meant to be the guy to answer people's questions and solve problems in the weeknight/weekend shifts now. It's just a bit more seniority, really.

 

Congratulations!

...or because I was 12 when he retired from international cricket

 

He's got half decent stats, however... Maybe not for ODI, though.

Know that feeling.

 

Ugh, hate this weather! It's 25 degrees-plus and a million percent humidity. On top of that, rain decides to randomly piss down from time to time. I am most displeased.

Good thanks! But my data analysis is going so slow, so much more to do and the thesis is suppose to be in by the end of February

 

How about yourself?

 

The sunbears are so cute! Love the high five one

Aww, he needs to come back for our viewing pleasure.

And the showers occur when walking between buildings of course. We have the fire exit door open for a nice refreshing breeze.

But somewhere in between would be nice.

Yeah the rain just did not stop nearly all day. But it's good though to fill up the water supplies and prevent or lessen the effects of this summers drought. The little pateke pond on Tiritiri was already pretty low when I last went, this rain hopefully filled it back up for the little ducks

Wow. I'm a little jealous though since I still haven't had much experience with snow. Is that a random person or Oren?

[JoBear]

It's Oren. He made a snow angel...not sure how appropriate that was in a cemetery. I've never seen so much urban snow in my life. Its all kinda frozen over now so will be around awhile.
