Harden up
So disappointed was I in the Black Caps’ limp, unmanly performance in the first test, I went down to Mitre 10 and bought myself a power saw and spent the day cutting a wardrobe into little pieces for disposal. It was a lot of fun, but didn’t make me feel any better about the cricket.
There are a few comforts of the schadenfreude variety to be found on the home page of Cricinfo however, negative though that variety is. Firstly, Australia are doing much worse against South Africa than we did against India, so far. (How long has it been since Australia last lost by an innings? More than 10 years.) Also, the West Indies walked away from an ODI victory because the coach read the Duckworth-Lewis chart wrong. That is a new and quite delicious flavour of stupidy.
