Is Brad McNamara the one that commentated in the Matador BBQs One Day Cup and spent the whole time telling poo poo anecdotes about his mediocre cricketing career instead of talking about what was happening in the game?
That is correct. Every other anecdote is about his Sydney grade cricket days

It's going to be chilly in Christchurch but should be fine enough for a full game after a few morning showers.

That sounds like he occasionally got a wicket from a totally poo poo delivery, probably like Michael Bevan's one day bowling

Edit: looking at his stats, very occasionally

I don't think Boycott's ever been that fond of him. Probably because he's a short form specialist.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

This has to be the laziest clickbait I've ever seen

SHEFFIELD: SEX CITY
The very nice man Andy Zaltzman has taken a look at the Achilles Heel of each World Cup team.

http://www.espncricinfo.com/blogs/content/story/830091.html

quote:

New Zealand lose in cricket World Cup semi-finals. That is a fact as old as time itself. Assuming time began in 1975, which is a matter for the scientists and historians to argue about. The Kiwis have reached the semi-finals in six World Cups, including three of the last five. Of those six semi-finals, they have lost six, including six of the last six.

If you have crashed your bicycle into the same tree six times in six successive bike rides, you will almost certainly feel less than 100% confident next time you cycle past that spot. Even if the tree has been cut down. And you have a nicer bike than you did previously.

I disagree. Come on New Zealand. Reach for that final.

Has anyone subscribed to ESPN's crazy expensive CWC streaming package? Even though it's close to the same price for 49 ODIs as it is for 2400+ MLB games I'm probably going to sign up anyway.

Does anyone happen to know if I could share the login credentials with my brother and both watch at the same time? I know the coupons thread sets up MLB.tv sharing groups every season and each account likely has 3-5 people streaming from it at any given time. It would certainly push me over the fence about buying it, but I'm guessing I won't find out if sharing like that works until I've already bought the drat thing.

It looks like it will be all pay-per view here in Canada. I was hoping that I could order individual games but instead it just one big package. 180 dollars for all the games. Sigh.
