Really, it's almost some kind of weird compliment. "Hey Warner, your wife once slept with SBW, and yet she married you. So in a round about way, you're better than one of the nicest most talented people in sport. Huh."

But that doesn't really fit the *clap-clap clap-clap, clap* chant format so well.

e. That was a bloody excellent catch

Don't think this day/night test starting Thursday will be much of a spectacle: http://www.metservice.com/towns-cities/auckland/auckland-central#!/ten-day

Good news for me — The only day I can get along to the match is Monday, and I'm not expecting it to last the distance without some meteorological interference.

Don't ban them. Keep them in the public eye, make them confront the shame every time they play. Rescind their sponsorship deals — They can only use second hand bats now, with the grip half off, and the rest fixed up with electrical tape. Make them wear Sangakarra's weird helmet. Chris Martin's pads. They should be an embarrassment, a tax upon the team, forgoing any benefit of being an international sports representative.

I don't remember what it was called but I remember a thing that was done in District cricket years ago where all 11 players would bowl a ball at the unprotected stumps, and the team that hit most won. Much like a penalty shootout in soccer.

I think there was something similar in the first T20 -- none of the bowlers could hit the loving wickets and it was hilarious and stupid and they never did it again.

I'll sign up for which ever company lets me watch on demand any of the two and a half sports I enjoy, not just highlight packages. Why this is not a thing already, it befuddles me.

In Sky's defence, their production values have been consistently excellent year after year. It's just a pity about their subscription model though.

And great to see the crowd rushing the pitch after the final wicket - what a different time
