  1. This may be my fault. I sort of made a pact with the devil to ensure retention of the Bledisloe Cup and Vettori and McCullum were my sacrifices. Apologies to those who are more fans of cricket than God's own game. I need to point out that at no time did I think we'd make the final

  7. If Danny V did a Russell-Crowe like swap from NZ to Oz then Oz would still be the number one Test side. And they'd have the tiny urn rather than the unimpressive and quite ugly Champions Trophy

  8. Punter spits on his hands every ball, as I do, to keep them slightly tacky. Helps with the catching!

  9. First Vettori out, now McCullum gone for a duck. The fat lady hasn't quite sung yet for New Zealand, but she is definitely clearing her throat!

  10. Ponting spits on his hands in homage to Giant Haystacks, who used to do the same thing. Ponting's a huge grapple fan
