yah either way really id be happy to peacefully coexist w/the cricket people - i even started a serious cricket thread myself once - and realistically it might help both sides to gain the critical mass needed for a successful bord

i watched pretty much the whole match today and although, because NZ are clearly a pretty poor team, it's hard to make many empirical judgments about england as as OD side they are definitely fielding better. collingwood's grab and stumping of.. whoever, i forget anyway i'm pretty drunk, was one of many impressive moments.

it's cool jho! that was a particularly juicy topic and it's the form of cricket that will hopefully crack america. twenty20: the game of now indeed.
england were about 100 for 3 at the halfway point, NZ collapsed spectacularly in the field. i find it amazing that they beat england convincingly on home turf.
