Want to see class rewatch Kane getting his ‘match winning’ 100.

Class is awesome.

Trophies are better.

Amazingly Warner isn’t even the biggest fluffybunny in that photo

@R-L said in Lockdown Check In:

Had a few nice days in Cornwall, Looe, over the weekend, came home early as it seems spending time with my husband is actually a shit idea and looks like I'm probably getting divorced pretty soon.
Sounds like I'm joking but I'm not. Let's hope we don't get lockdown again anytime soon.

Been there done that but you can come out of it as great friends if you’re both grown up about it and above all compromise. My ex wife ended up with a great bloke, they have two kids who I adore and she just wrote my other half a sickening ( in a nice way....I think ) lovey dovey birthday greeting today. They’re basically bffs and naturally yours truly bears the brunt of any grief. Turns out I haven’t gotten any better at housework over the years.

Don’t ever fight in front of the kids or have a go at hubby just to ‘one up’....not sure how many kids you have but always remember that one. You might be in for a rough few months or years....depends on you and your situation. Luckily for me my ex was willing to work at things, as was I. No lawyers ( apart from those needed for property division etc ) compromise, putting the boys first etc. My folks and I even went to her sisters wedding this year prior to lockdown. It was a fucken awesome shindig and we were touched we got the invite.

Hopefully you both remember you got married in the first place for a reason. Maybe you drifted apart, differed as the years went by, other parties ( MN5 raises a guilty hand ).....but particular when there’s children involved it’s SO important to put differences aside and focus on the fact that person is the other 50% of what made the kid (s).

Best of luck to ya, you’ll come out the other side stronger

So, who’s doing the haka?

I’d say the whole team

62 all out. Fuck a duck that’s embarrassing

This is like being an All Blacks fan

That is one mixed emotions score to see this morning.

Well not really, winning is everything.

Fucking useless.

Black Crap level useless

Yep this innings is a real throwback.

I’m getting the feelings this might be Rosscos final test

If we have a home series against the Bangles coming up, maybe he gets a last game swan song. He looks like an old man playing a young man's game. To be fair none of the others did any better. No Kane, no Devon was always going to be tough

Yeah but there’s enough other talent there. Unfortunately everyone picked the same day to shit the bed.

Now we need to bat well.

The path to victory is clear. Bat for 2.5 days and declare 200-250 ahead. Then bowl India out in 4.5 sessions.

Fuck me. We’ll be doing incredibly well to avoid the follow on at this rate

Awesome ! Unlikely to get a tweet from Jim Laker though

Wow. A 10 fer is quite surreal. Hats off fella, amazing !

Just think how many legends of the game never managed it themselves….

They have a choice and they made it. They still get access to health care, they can go to the shops, they can drive. No one is making them wear a yellow star or anything. But don't expect all out compassion from the rest of us who also bear the consequences of their actions. There are things they can't do and at the moment that is the consequence of their choice. They should live with that happy to have a choice, and not ruin someone else's weekend by being inconsiderate fluffybunnies

Before I respond, are you talking about peope that aren't vaxxed, or the people causing disruption at kids cricket?

If the latter, you're at cross purposes, but as you were.

If the former, oh boo fucking hoo for you. We aren't talking about them complaining or asking for "compassion", we are talking about the vaxxed complaining that the unvaxxed are fucking it all up for them.

Well tell you what, how about you direct that ire at the Government where it belongs? Even with our ridiculously high vax rates us vaccinated still can't travel, still face uncertainty and constant rule changes - what makes you think anything would be different at 95% or 98%???

It was Brian Tamaki and his lot. That's all I need to know about the purity of their intentions. As for the other part of your argument, which you managed to shoe horn in? I agree we should be freer than we are

Wtf, I didn't shoehorn it in, I responded to MN5 who said the unvaxxed were fucking up life for everyone, and you responded over that

Oh, so in true fern style we are arguing about different things but probably agree about lots else

It does amuse me that my throwaway comment started it too.

Covid19 is still a high trigger subject

Isn’t it just ? So much spite and anger from all sides of the equation

Yep, fuck him and ANYTHING he is involved in. He’s a brilliant con man though I’ll give him that. His ability to fleece things from the stupid is incredible.
