Top pic of your family Thomas :thumbsu:

Fellas - not too sure about these current vaccines, some of them you need two jabs, others only one jab, then there's the side effects as well... scientists have plenty to do yet to come up with the right formula.

With Rugby Sevens at the Olympics you'd think that 20/20 cricket should be there as well.

Knew Phelps was well ahead of anyone else in the medal count, didn't realize though he has won an astonishing 23 Gold medals - I suppose with all the different events that swimming has there's a better chance to win more medals in it than in any other sports at the Olympics... but you still need...

That's amazing mate with the record he had - I reckon swing is a great weapon to have on the flatter tracks as you're not going to get much movement off the wicket, so if a pace bowler can get late swing in the air he's going to be very dangerous... the swing kings Akram & Younis were basically...

That would be cool Craig :thumbsu:

Have no idea, probably someone from Greece ?

:thumbsu: Hope Fox have coverage of the tests Craig - I Remember Alderman well, was a very good pace bowler... what an incredible effort by Massie knocking the timber over 18 times in one test, reckon that record will never be broken, don't remember the bloke though mate, how many tests did he...

Yeah, not enough Aussie or Kiwi players play regularly in their conditions to feel really comfortable... the duke ball they use tends to swing a lot though so that suits blokes like Boult, Southee & Jamieson, going to be a very interesting series. 1st session in each test against the Poms starts...

Can really appreciate the time & work that had to be put in creating that piece of scenery {grass} as in my job I specialize in hand-painted signs, pictorials, logos ect.

Wow ! that's amazing mate 👍

No doubt the young ones sports will get huge promotion out of the Olympics... but just doesn't feel right having those sports there. Can't see them taking away some traditional sports to replace them with other young peoples sports, that would absolutely ruin the event.

Fair point about the young ones mate.

Yeah, county cricket is an excellent place to home your skills & patience for test cricket... think our first cricketer to play county cricket was Glenn Turner in the 70's... since then some of our other greats like Hadlee & Crowe played a lot of county cricket in England as well.

Very flash Thomas... excellent design, also like the use of white & pastel colours that lighten the kitchen up, top touch with the piece of scenery above the bench too 👍

In NZ they haven't put too much detail out on the individuals etc that are our best medal chances, will put in some of our well known ones later, but there's going to be a lot of new ones I would not have heard of.

Yeah, remember you saying you got in for free, that was a great bonus mate... spectacular lighting show Craig 👍

Yeah, it's great for the blokes that are not getting the big money in international cricket... thing is though the IPL is always going to interfere with test cricket somewhere in the world & you want to be at full strength when countries are playing against each other.
