  @canefan said in Indian Cricket Tour of NZ 2020: @nzzp said in Indian Cricket Tour of NZ 2020: @shark said in Indian Cricket Tour of NZ 2020: I was already thinking we're better off not playing a spinner and the stats I heard today completely reaffirmed that for me. I'd play three specialist seamers plus CDG and Neesham, assuming he's up for the bowling. I'm not opposed to that, but I really really want a part timer to throw down a few overs. Otherwise the batsmen get set and don't have to deal with different pace; just medium/medium fast all day, mostly right arm. If you can deal with 3 top bowlers, is a part timer really going to get you out or stop up an end more than a spinner? Ashleigh Giles built a career on being a trundling half decent number 8. Not fundamentally opposed to no spinner, but I'd probably pad the batting, and also have an answer to the captain looking around for something different halfway through the third or fourth session Kane will have to be our part time spinner. Unless Jeet makes the team How is his shoulder injury? Kane won't be bowling.

  Everything now live at https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/ Best of the weekend was Stockcar86 with 58. Nobody had 7/7 with the Highlanders result catching out most people. Hooroo 2nd on 57 which now puts him level overall with Langakali. OomPB down to 3rd with Joan and Mary in 4th and Higgins in 5th. Hurrycanes, Hydro11 and Dolamite move into the top 10, Stockcar86 up to 11. The SunJags win again to be 3/3 and top of the table. 4 teams close behind with 2 wins from 3 and the 2 Blues teams and Canes Gold in danger of being dropped. Only 6 games next week so 2 extra category picks for you to enjoy. @ACT-Crusader & @Nevorian missing in action this week.

  Trained on sat morning but holy shit I was light on sleep. Double scooped on pre-workout but I crashed hard near the end of the workout - nada in the tank at that point. Did some warm ups for biddies. Then into bench. Did a bunch of sets at 60kg and 80kg, then 4 working sets of 8-10 reps at 100kg. Wasn't keen to go any heavier. Ran into an old gym acquaintance and he distracted us with adding in some DB overheads and close grip pressing... as part of super sets with regular bench. My triceps still hurt like a fucker today. Pure fire!! It was pretty funny actually, his training approach is pure broscience and based on what got him gains. So he was giving a lot of contrary cues to what we've been doing. Breathing during a lift, narrower set up for bench, not as worried about leg position etc. So a lot of uh huh and nodding as we all pretty did our usual stuff. But it is cool to hear about what people have found successful.

Now that Lenin (Bart) has "died", it will be interesting to see who wins out of Trotsky (Kirwan) and Stalin (Duluth) for control of the TSF Comintern. which province is the Ukraine? Manawatu Albania surely? Nah, Albania has scenery.
