The Tongue Is Back!

Vettori's tongue should be up to it, but who knows how long the rest of his body might last? For however long it might be, I for one will enjoy watching him bowl.

A Tiger For Punishment

Nothing like a wet and windy day at the Basin reserve to make you think just a little about retirement as you trudge to Fine Leg.

There Is A Season...

... turn, turn, turn.

Vettoris' Midriff

As a long suffering Black Cap supporter it is good to see that the daily grind of IPL madness seems to be keeping our best bowling asset in good shape.

No middle age spread here. Now if he could just remember how to turn the ball ...

No sooner had I posted this little missive when I learned that Dan The Man has injured himself and is flying home to NZ - see that's what it is like being a Black Cap supporter!

The X Factor

So Xavier Doherty is the next new great white hope of Aussie spin bowling - I wish him better luck than the last few to amble up to the crease.

I know Hauritz has been around for a while but he really only brings V Factor - V for vanilla that is.

Maybe, like most pro sports, we could have a trading marketing where the Black Caps could send Vettori across the ditch in exchange for a couple of openers and a fast bowler.
