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)

Black Ferns
White Ferns

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.
