Futurism was an art movement where dudes were all 'CARS ARE COOL AND THE PAST IS FOR CHUMPS. LET'S DRAW SOME CARS.'
Looks like NZ heard my club team isn't playing today and decided to do the whole-order collapse that we do.

I think it's a good job for NZ that England were so dismissive of them. Might have seen actual penetration had they prepared for them properly.

So I notice a test match on TuneIn, think "Great! Cricket to listen to as I do paperwork."

Then the commentators mention it's 66 for 8.

"Eh, should still take England a while to get the last two wickets," I think.

10 minutes later, New Zealand is all out.

Now what do I listen to?

Watling was unlucky with a landing, Martin was too old and fat.

The last wicket was so awesome to watch. At first I couldn't believe that nobody caught it. Then I couldn't believe that the Kiwi's were basically loitering in the middle, and when the run-out came I was laughing my rear end off.

Seems that the umpires are as dismissive as England when it comes to the kiwi batsmen.

You've got to love this line: "We waited with confidence that such a sports body should have sportsmanship spirit". An Indian company saying that about the BCCI is hilarious.

Pakistan umpire Asad Rauf has been withdrawn by the ICC from officiating in the upcoming Champions Trophy in England following media reports that indicated he was under investigation by Mumbai Police.

"In the wake of reports that the Mumbai Police are conducting an investigation into Asad Rauf's activities, we feel that it is in Asad's best interests as well as those of the sport and the event itself, that he is withdrawn from participating in the ICC Champions Trophy," Dave Richardson, the ICC chief executive, said in a statement on Thursday.

What is going on???
