Congrats to the Kiwi cricketers on their five-wicket defeat of England. They now win the one-day series 3-2.

Proving that that win against Oz was no fluke!!!

On behalf of my fellow 3.8 million Kiwis, thanks for the congrats, Rubrick. But we shouldn't have lost the Auckland match. For some reason we just can't perform consistently. We have, as I like to repeatedly say, an uncanny ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

I have to admit, though, that the last match was a beauty, wasn't it?

Yes, well, I guess it does rather depend on your perspective, Dunc!

True, and their inability to beat the Proteas is rather a boer.

Yah, but their not-boering fast bowler has just retired. What a shame! He will be so missed in Australasia, won't he?

Which win, Rubrick? There were several one day wins, as I (ashamedly) recall... but if we're talking tests, only the weather beat Australia then.

PS. If we're talking forces to be reckoned with, how about that record breaking Oz v SA test match! Yee hah!!

That's true of the first two,

Isn't that all we needed?

Maybe we should take this elsewhere

Gilchrist is the player that makes all the difference, Oz were already brilliant but he just puts them in a different league, the side is so beautifully balanced. RIGHT thats the last time im gonna praise those bludgers
