Sod it
Damn you Fleming with your piss arse 39 runs in the test, and Papps the sapp with his 7.
Well disappointingly I was right, and SA ground out the win and Vettori finished with none for 53 off 18 giving him series figures of 146 overs, 26 maidens 4 wickets for 454 runs. Averaging 113 and striking every 219 balls.
Tits on a bull.
Meanwhile its as well I'm not in NZ this year and buying season tickets to the Warriors as they are obviously staring down the barrell of a rough ride. No doubt they will get better but I can't help but feel that they are letting some of the best talent in NZ slip through their net and into opposition teams.
There is going to come a time when a full half of the comp is made up of Queensland and NZ born players. Cos NSW'men are a bunch of pansies.
The K-League (domestic soccer comp) kicks off in Korea this weekend. I'm starting to look forward to it. I supported the Anyang LG Cheetahs last season quite closely and even contributed an article for the Korea Times about the comp (albeit slightly critical). However LG in their infinate wisdom decided to relocate the team to Seoul as they did not have a team. Anyang were one of the best supported teams in the league and the fans were gutted. There is so much more that's wrong with the move. The team is now called Seoul FC and they have 1984-2004 on their logo. What the hell is that all about?! It's a brand new club but with the same owners (LG Corporation, who have earnt themselves a life long boycott from yours truly). They are crediting themselves with three titles which were won when this team was in different cities playing on different home grounds. How the hell can you mislead people by saying you have been around 20 yeas and won three titles when it's your first season?!
So I have no team to support now really. I'll go to some Incheon United games but it may well be easier to just sit back and watch without worrying about results so much. I'm contributing to a website on the comp and keeping stats for the K2-League (which is sort of a second tier comp but they haven't established promotion/relegation yet).
By the way, did you know that dc_red is a bit of a Celtic supporter. No not the ones who play in Boston, the ones who play in fookin' Glasgow. And they have been flogging some blue arse this year.
