well they only paid $5 by the starting price and i must admit i was that ashamed to pick up my money i sent trevour chapple to do it... lol ( my missus had to go and get it )_which was even worse cause i only ended up with my original bet..... bloody women
Oh well, your evil plans are on track. . . curse you, Australian Cricket Team, curse you AND your little baggy caps.
And Steven Fleming, may his soul rot and his bowels gush out, did his patacake best to waste balls blocking till the run rate required was impossible AND . . fume, seethe . . . . he did his normal "Run out the young upandcoming player, before he makes me look the hasbeen i am" trick.
ARRRRGH. Who would be a kiwi cricket fan, i ask you.
yes i sat thru to the dismal end and thought that young bloke (thompson was it ?) should have done us both a favour and droped his captain with a nice cover drive....
On the grounds that lightning doesn't strike twice, I have wagered 10 bucks on Aussie to revenge themselves, we won the toss again and elected to Field, first ball any minute now, At Eden park.
I don't know how well that last match was reported on in Aussie?. I remember from having lived over there, NZ beating the Wallibees and not ONE single newspaper printing the actual result, it was all given over to criticism of the team.
So for Any Aussie that missed this particular point, the Australian Cricket team was handed its worst one day defeat, by NEW ZEALAND, we bowled you crosseyed and kept you to 148 runs, then TWO BLOKES carried their bats, and cleaned you up in only 45 overs.
Only team in the world to beat Aussie by 10 wickets.
*Can now die a happy man*
I dread to think what is about to happen in revenge.

Finnish Army recruited civil convicts (a full pardon was promised in return for good performance in battle) to Er.P.21 (Sep. Battallion 21) aka "Black Arrow" commanded by the legendary Maj. Nikke Pärmi. Pärmi was an ex-convict himself (for manslaughter and general misbehauviour!) and had an exceptional psychological eye. All imported recruits didn't satisfy him and he returned many back to forced labour camps. Burglars and safety box specialists became pioniers and murderers had "always a job to do" according to Pärmi. However, he had later many good reasons to be very proud of his men, murderers, rapists and all.
