The Biege Brigade's latest scheme is aimed at the Twenty20 match with Australia on February 17. New Zealand Cricket decided to up the novelty factor of this match by putting the New Zealand team into classic 1980's style biege outfits and the Biege Brigade has decided to capitalise on this by offering any player who grows a moustache or afro for the occasion "a lot of beer". The Brigade has targeted Dan Vettori as a particular target of the afro side of the campaign and has offered a handicapping system for players at a natural disadvantage when it comes to facial hair growth - such as Nathan Astle and Brendon McCullum.
The Australian press has again raised one coy eyebrow in amusement. New Zealanders might not win as many games as Australians, but I suspect we have a lot more fun trying.

Good call - it's "Beige" brigade - as in the colour, not "biege". They're developing a reputation for coming up with some bloody good antics!
