There we are - Mike unleashes a tirade on The Oval’s ticket prices in the Herald on Sunday…
“We’re getting used to paying exorbitant amounts for sporting events over here,” Lane said. “They can get away with it because of consumer demand. The Oval can take about 20,000 people but it’s in the middle of a city of eight million so they can do what they want and they do. It’s a real pain in the a*** really. They’re a bunch of [expletive].”
Great faux pas here from the wonderful boys and girls at TV3…thanks for this OWT
…in which the BYC is joined by Beige Brigade co-founder Mike Lane, the Indian series is powerfully analysed, the Ruse just escapes yet again, the lads wrap New Zealand domestic cricket in their own special unhelpful way and the legend of one-name wonder Dhoni is born.

2. Had a yarn with wonderful Stuey Tolan on ZM this morning too - thanks for your support for the ostracised beige penguin.
3. Tom Dower chipped away on Newstalk ZB with us as well
This is sad, but wonderful. We are looking at starting a crusade to lift the poor little bugger’s self-confidence.
