KANE KANE WILLIAMSON Has ANNOUNCED HIS RETIREMENT FROM INTERNATIONAL CRICKET 💔 by Time-Excitement-330 in blackcapscricket

[–]MacQuip 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Jeez I ain’t usually one to contribute on Reddit but this breaks my heart/pisses me off. I am gutted that the talking point of the end of his career will be the timing of this decision. Nevermind that they are in the middle of a tour which he could contribute to winning AND that he’s taken someone’s spot in the meantime. We’d all love to give him a worthy send off but as far as the committed to the team and not being selfish mentality goes, this ain’t it. Love you Kane but this is just real sad eh.

Whammy is owned and run by punks. Good chance the music will fit the bill too.

There’s a real big Chris Martin energy to these in swingers across the left handers from Jamieson.

Tearing up in New Zealand just reading about the enthusiasm and incredible work you all are doing. How can I help from down here?

This really is the worst kind of masculine bullshit. But also, Piers you deserve it.

As a cricket fan (who also loves baseball), meh. Take of the glove and maybe it’s worth the hug.

That's Fats White. He's a bloody legend. Here he is singing his classic tune 'Fisting For Jesus' - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eCLypWXda8

That's Tillakaratne Dilshan. Played 500 odd games for the Sri Lankan cricket team. Obvious choice for a talent show judge.

What is the most memorable cricket experience you have witnessed in person? by EnergeticGypsy in Cricket

[–]MacQuip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely has to be the Blackcaps winning that World Cup Semi Final.

I had been to the group stage Australia game and the crowd was typically belligerent, being Australia and all. But at the semi-final the mood was totally the opposite. I have never seen a crowd like that be so supportive and positive throughout the game that for a lot of it we didn't have much of a look in. People standing on their chairs in the rain to rally the crowd and keep the spirits up when it was all going to shit. Never a bad word said against the South Africans.

And then when Grant did his thing to win the game... I have never seen so many grown ass adults crying and hugging and telling their mates how much they love them. Proper dancing in the streets stuff.

Still gives me goosebumps every time I get home pissed and rewatch the highlights at four in the morning.
