The LOOP - December Musings from Beige Brigade HQThere you all are. This wee note emanates from Beige Brigade HQ on yet another dark and stormy "summer" night here in Aotearoa. It's been pretty horrendous so far this cricket season - we even got rained out when we went to the Sunshine State in Aussie earlier in the month. What follows is a slap-dash update of the happenings with the Beige Brigade over the past few weeks.29 Dec 2004 | More

The Sri Lankan tour came to a halt and now we have the FICA World XI popping in for a quickfire series. We'll also be going to the races - we've just enlisted a horse called This Time Rodney (jockey will be in the brown and tan of the Beige Brigade). Later on the Aussie home series will be a biggie. Anyway, see below we've marked the games that are likely to be on our hit-list. As we get ourselves together we will have our seats slapped up on the site...1 Dec 2004 | More

Being Beige in the WhitewashWell after another trying week at the Test match, this time at Trent Bridge, we were absolutely delighted when Tana Umaga's All Blacks won, giving us some ammunition for our arguments with the English supporters in the William Clarke Stand.18 Jun 2004 | More
In Pain at LeedsThe Headingley match turned into a mighty tough one after the Black Caps collapse in the twilight of the fourth day. The innocuous Hoggard fired up and looked to have joined Harmison in hating and wanting to hurt the New Zealand batsmen. Their bowling was nothing short of excellent as the pitch metamorphosed from a batting paradise to a deck laden with landmines.11 Jun 2004 | More
Headingley - Mixing it with the Yorkshire riff-raffThe chaps returned from their travels around the capitals of Europe, and we hired a Ford Focus (a very small car) for five of us to get up to Leeds from London. Sounds easy doesn't it?4 Jun 2004 | More
Reflecting on Lord'sAfter a few days to reflect on the Black Caps' defeat at Lord's, it's fair to say that our memories will be dominated less by the loss and more by the experience of a whole new world of cricket watching.1 Jun 2004 | More
Chipping Away at Lord'sIt is nice here in England - especially after watching the Black Caps put 280 on the board at Lord's. A few days like that will sort out the jet-lag. We staggered off the plane at Heathrow, with Lenny having made a valiant attempt at eclipsing David Boon's 54-can record except he tried to do it with Coca-Cola, doing nothing to help his sleeping patterns.30 May 2004 | More
