| 1290827 | 2012-07-25 21:16:00 | That 12 year old boy who threw a rock at and killed a Kea should have been snatched up by the Cricket Development people and trained for future Black Cap glory. They could use the likes of him. | CliveM (6007) | ||
| 1290828 | 2012-07-25 21:47:00 | So true. | Cicero (40) | ||
| 1290829 | 2012-07-25 22:52:00 | Bring the Black Caps home and tell them all to go find a job, they are freakin useless and have been for years. The days when NZ was concidered a great cricketing country are sadly well gone. | Iantech (16386) | ||
| 1290830 | 2012-07-25 22:58:00 | I have a great appreciation for the Kea ... even though they've ripped my windscreen wipers off more times than I care to remember. The kid should probably be put in stocks and covered in peanut butter ... let the Keas' have a nibble on him for a couple of days. And on the Blackcaps ... wonder whether Scott Styris will get a recall ... 100* off 39 balls ... not bad for an old codger (39) |

| 1290832 | 2012-07-25 23:08:00 | NO Cicero .... Australian teams are always "The W*nkers" .... Poms "The Plonkers" ... SA's ... well ... can't say as I like it on the forum ... :D | SP8's (9836) | ||
| 1290833 | 2012-07-25 23:42:00 | At this point, I would like to know why NZ has where Oz and England etc have names like Australia , England South Africa etc, while Black caps is used here?? Black ferns blackheads etcBecause none have the brains to come up with something original. Most are either derived from "All Blacks" or "Silver Ferns". Black Caps Black Ferns White Ferns Tall Blacks All Whites Iron Blacks Ice Blacks Black Sox etc |

| 1290836 | 2012-07-26 00:33:00 | Well, they did try! en.wikipedia.org In an attempt to attract publicity, and thus sponsorship, players and fans, Badminton New Zealand chose "Black Cocks" as a nickname for their national teams. Badminton NZ did get more publicity, and there was sponsorship interest from condom companies. Predictably, however; much of the public tended to treat Badminton NZ as a laughing stock. The IBF opposed the name, and it has been dropped officially. |
