Cricket & craft beer fan. Dad. Former Saturday sport sideline manager. Now trying out golf. Not enough time to do justice to the rest.

@shortflyslip Yes, always felt like Peter Sharp wasn’t as good a TV commentator as he was on radio. No idea why.

@shortflyslip Just counting up the boundaries now.

@shortflyslip Amogh looked like he was bowling smoke today. A more slingy action compared to when I last saw him. Possibly bowling better due to playing in a club environment but would be great if he could still play for WC & go to Gillette.

Getting to bat and bowl on the Basin Reserve. Pretty special.

NEW: I’m not sure people appreciate quite how bad the Covid situation is in Hong Kong, nor what might be around the corner.

First, an astonishing chart.

After keeping Covid at bay for two years, Omicron has hit HK and New Zealand, but the outcomes could not be more different.

@shortflyslip The video of the rebound off one of the Martin twins to be caught by the other (filling in as keeper) has been getting some airtime!

Joe Root's Test batting average
50.015873016 before today's knock
50.015789474 after today's knock

0.000083542 is the smallest ever non-zero change in a player's career batting average from one innings to the next

@shortflyslip No one seemed to know the last time it had happened (2nds beating the 1sts). Any idea?

[Tony Severinsen @tonyseve]

@shortflyslip Yes, we had one of those as well and he might have made the difference. But…great game of cricket.

[Tony Severinsen @tonyseve]

@shortflyslip I think, according to the Chch people we talked to last weekend, CBHS had already been outed from Gillette, losing their semi to Christ’s College.

[Tony Severinsen @tonyseve]

@shortflyslip Unfortunately for us, he is ready for higher honours.

@WC_Principal @shortflyslip @schoolkitnz Good luck Gregor - a big loss for the school but a massive gain for School Kit and your own professional development. Hopefully might still see you on the cricket sidelines!

[Tony Severinsen @tonyseve]

@shortflyslip But f*** it was cold. Colder almost than Ian Galloway Park on a bad day.

Great broadcaster and so genuine.

@lauramcgoldrick ‘s emotion filled comments on the rowing medals today have been priceless. Speaks to what a lot of us watching from the couch have been feeling too

[Tony Severinsen @tonyseve]

@shortflyslip @cricketkit Awesome, I’ve ordered one as well.
