@Sportsfreakconz Missed opportunity. Play an ODI or T20 today for the fans. NZ could have played with 7 or 8, just to even things up.

@AdamKerrBell @michelappleton Wads was wearing the creams ready to field. Coney (retired) & Ken Nicholson (TV reporter) both fielded for NZ due to illness. Other feature of that tour was Hadlee claiming world record for wickets (from Botham), in 1st test. And no, wasn’t televised.

@Sportsfreakconz Not esp unusual to eschew home games to play early-season cricket at those eastern venues. One of them is on Labour Weekend? Half of Auckland will be down at the Mount. But yea, fair point.

@Sportsfreakconz what is it about Canada and the Olympics?

[Peter Clinton @PeterClinton5]

@Sportsfreakconz Two well matched sides but it’ll depend a bit on which wicket the BCCI selects to play on.

UEFA have officially confirmed that Denmark finished ahead of Slovenia in Group C because of a yellow card shown to Slovenia assistant coach Milivoje Novaković.

Denmark and Slovenia finished level on points, goal difference, goals scored and yellow cards shown to players.

@pooliecoast @Sportsfreakconz @bopman1 Does anyone remember cricket’s Hood Report? Some 30 years ago. Coincidentally the same time that rugby went professional.

Haven’t watched #IPL in a while, but the fourth guy here was introduced as the ‘toss ref’?

@Sportsfreakconz a real Dean Jones quality to it.

[Peter Clinton @PeterClinton5]

@andrewnixon79 Yes, Borren is a good call. I thought about those age-group teams, there might be one or two others who turned up in Associate cricket. Thanks.

[Peter Clinton @PeterClinton5]

Congrats to Corey Anderson, selected in the USA squad for T20I series next month. If he does play think he becomes first mens player to first play for NZ before then another int’l team? @FPayne100

@CricFanUSA @FPayne100 Thanks, yes there’s a few current/former first-class players who’ve made the move to int’l teams. Logan van Beek prob most well-known, & Theo van Woerkom (Ireland) being the latest. The USA (from NZ angle) has only had the Kain & Anderson connections. MLC may change that! Thanks.

[Peter Clinton @PeterClinton5]

@FPayne100 Thanks Francis, I figured we might have to go back some way if there was anyone at all.
