Sideline Slogger post: "Disingenuousness & cannibalism"

The comments from NZC's marketing manager in rugbyhead Toby Robson's article on Anniversary Day caught my eye. Robson was making the case for the fact that 50-over one-dayers at the Cake Tin were becoming an increasingly unappetising day out for cricket fans in the capital after a disgraceful crowd of just 8,299 meandered down the Fran Wilde Walk on Saturday.

THE LOOP: Mish-mash in March

Well New Zealand is effectively playing a home series in front of an 'away' crowd - India have taken over the boardroom of world cricket and now they're taking over the cricket stands and embankments over here as well. Not sure about the former being good, but the latter is certainly bearable.

The Elstow Ashes

"I live in England now, near Bedford, and I am a member of Elstow Cricket Club www.elstowcc.co.uk and we need your help. We were shafted by Warwickshire CCC for our customary tickets to Edgbaston for the Friday of this year's Ashes Test, and so we have decided to host our own Ashes test over the weekend of the 25th and 26th of July 2009."

The LOOP: Right-arm over the wicket in December 2008

Good evening this morning! Magnificent that summer has arrived - Test cricket is being played in balmy 13 degree conditions in Dunedin while the rest of New Zealand basks in 20+ and endless summer ales with Bryan Waddle and Tony Cozier chipping away on the wireless. What could be better, apart from (a couple of elusive Test centuries)?

THE LOOP: Cricket ignominy, rugby in the UK, penguins in Balclutha, and the Shearing Championships

This month we present to you a veritable barrage of Beige Brigade news - from a new and slightly off-centre offering in the Beige Brigade Shop through to information about a bunch of our tours, some great pics, and a fleece-by-fleece account of some beige boys' in Norway at the Golden Shears. Anything to take your attention off the fact that we lost to Bangla-bloody-desh at cricket this week!

THE LOOP: September has Sprung

The Champions Trophy is dead as The Don as of last month, but despite the paucity of cricket, there's plenty of shenanigans to report from Beige HQ - especially at the English end of things...

THE LOOP: Amongst the August Beige

We know - we are an absolute disgrace and have not been in touch in April, May, June or even July. Sorry about that. We have been doing stuff though, just been appalling at telling you about it...

THE LOOP: A March Quickie

We haven't been in touch for a while - but we haven't been sitting around knitting vests or fisting windows. We've been podcasting our moustachioed faces off, blogging from cow corner on Stuff and hatching plans for missions to see us collapse in the second innings against the Poms...

The Loop: The Basin, Phil Tufnell, The BYC and Gallipoli

Greetings from Beige HQ. New Zealand's first Test match at home since December 2006 has just got underway at the steaming heap of sideways movement and uneven bounce that is the University Oval pitch.

Tune into our podcast - The BYC

We decided to give this new Podcasting thing a crack - it's New Zealand's first cricket podcast - slightly tongue in cheek, heavy on retro, but still with enough cricket for the discerning fan.
