Another week; another Friday, and another full weekend of sport. We're a bit slow of the mark with this post today due to a computer crash at work, but all is good with the world now!
The big match of the weekend is the Black Caps' quarter-final against South Africa in Dhaka tonight. If there was any place where you would like to play South Africa and neutralise their pace attack, it's Bangladesh. That said, a New Zealand win tonight would be a huge surprise, but we're not going to rule it out. Winning the toss will be important tonight, as will disciplined bowling and patient batting. We wish the Black Caps well
Other than that, there's a full weekend of rugby and league, whilst the race for the Premiership is hotting up in English football. We will be keeping a close eye on the Crusaders as they take on the Sharks at Twickenham, and hope that the teams turn on a cracker of a match.
That's it from us for the moment; the floor is yours...

NZ have 3 players capable of man of the match performances with the bat to win the game - Brendan McCullum, Ross Taylor and Jacob Oram with Oram having the ability to `strangle' the run rate.
The problem is we cannot depend on any of them especially with Oram batting at 9 - that is plain stupid.
If NZ can get on top of Steyn and Morkel we may have a rough show but Amla, Kallis and deVilliers are batsmen of real class who know how to pace an innings.
Therefore hard to see a win which would be as bi an upset as when Piping Lane won the Melbourne Cup.
