Status update

I am feeling a bit brighter today. Jesse Ryder tonked 133 for Wellington yesterday and could well have booked himself a spot in the New Zealand team for the third ODI. Not only that, but Brendon McCullum has been doing what he does best - yapping and bigging himself up.

I still hold little hope for tomorrow's game, but I am starting to think maybe we can improve on Saturday's dismal performance.

Only two things are preventing me from making a full return to optimism. The first is Scott Styris, who maintains that practising is a waste of time. Scott, if it was good enough for Bradman, it should be good enough for a waste of ego like you. The second is the weather. To steal weather-girl Toni Marsh's phrase, it is currently "persisting" heavily in the capital. Lets just hope this muck clears up in time for tomorrow's match.
