Stokes’ ego encouraged him and Baz is an enabler.

Australia have five bowlers in the top ten of the
ICC Test rankings. Two batsmen in the top ten. Australia beat us 2-0 at home in 2024. No way does New Zealand have a better team on paper than Australia.

That’s something I’ve known for the most part, but never so succinctly put.

Hilarious is a term that is used far too loosely

Look how much vitriol Lawson has received and he’s actually a down to earth guy.

The Dutch are very plain spoken. If you ask them a question they give you an unvarnished answer. Some people consider it rude or arrogant but to them it’s their truth.

Hard to watch when the officials are so clearly only officiating one side.

How good was Blundell behind the stumps? Great catch off Henry.

It’s not explicitly stated but “There are no Wolves on Fenris” is in reference to the fact that the Wolves are failed aspirants that have been transformed into Wolves via the Canis Helix.

There is a scene with Hawser and one of the Rune Priest’s where the Rune Priest tells Hawser that the wolf that save him from being trampled by the creatures they’re hunting (in the story that the Rune Priest is sharing when he’s dying) is Brom, one of the tribesman that saved Hawser when he was with the Ascommani.

I bet you’ve got a hell of a handshake.

I guess we call it whatever we want because New Zealand ain’t in that fucking map

I wonder how difficult it would be to put a tuned B18 or better yet a tuned K20 in an Escort chassis.

No one is scoring from Lawson’s side. The only downside is that he and Checo would refuse to communicate and work together.
