NZ Black Caps to work on programme of easy competitors to boost morale

Apparently NZ Cricket spirits are high as the Black Caps are about to complete an unbeaten  series with over Bangladesh

From the TVNZ site: "The day-night fixture at AMI Stadium presents the New Zealanders with a golden opportunity to complete a rare 3-0 series whitewash, something they also achieved over Bangladesh at home in late 2007."

Information to hand suggests that this morale booster will be followed by a season playing other teams starting with the Maldives Only 11, moving to a team from Andorra (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/992562.stm) , then San Marino (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/2669927.stm), and ending with a series against a Woollongong under 15 team.   All of them will be home games in New Zealand to minimise chances of an energy depleting upset loss of any games, although cricket officials concede the Woollongong Schools' Team series is unlikely to be a whitewash.

Posts I would have liked to have made - but too busy

I'm busy so haven't had time to post lately.

 

Burning issues I thought about posting:

• why it's okay for a good portion of charity money to go to talented people who can create more for the charity by using their skills tather than leaving the work to impoverished slaves (again)
• why personal brand is a new tyranny
• what is the current definition or rules about keeping in touch in the era of SM
• why the US is so obsessed with creating its own royalty eg Paris Hilton, Brangelina, Disney princesses
• while Taylor Swift is a lovely and talented young woman do I have to see her every day? (and isn't John Mayer a cad and a bounder)
• why the Middle East will never have peace - a study of my neighbourhood and adjoining properties
• fighting the inner pedant
• a list of people who clearly would rather be right than happy 

I may come and backfill these at some point
