2nd test preview to rival Ian's

Forget Ian, he knows nowt and he's way too bloody chirpy anyway. Here's what's going to happen in the 2nd test against NZ:

  • Twatto will get out on 79
  • Punter will get out on 3 and complain loudly about a bad decision by both umpire and UDRS
  • Vettori will laugh
  • So will I (eventually)
  • Mitchy will chuck pies but will still get at least 3 wickets
  • My Lord will be Godlike (obviously)
  • Bolly will get a 5-for
  • There will be a streaker (this time it will be a woman wearing a blue wig)
  • Vettori and Mitchy will have "heated words"
  • The match will last 4 days
  • Vettori will almost save the match for NZ but Australia will win again
  • I will chew my fingernails and sleep badly until it's done and then I will drink lots of beer in celebration and claim I knew all along we would win.
How does that sound?

Sounds incomplete without you admitting that you recently bought a blue wig and will be flying to Australia soon.

Hush, Purna - you'll give away my little secret ... and, of course, I will be flying to NZ :-)

Only thing standing in line is Douggie B getting a 5 wicket haul.

Rivals? Lalit Modi has you wrapped around his finger.

The Aussies are in trouble but the brittle batting line up of Black Caps may yet come to their rescue.

Do you think Modi will put me on his payroll, then? I might need the job soon.

Grey, I am trying hard to have faith that that be so but fingernails are at the ready.

In the past Kiwis have collapsed like a pack of cards by losing 5 or 6 wickets for 10 or 15 runs. So there is a lot to hope for.
