Ashes Reporting in NZ

The Ashes are in full swing again, and it's great to see.

One thing I do note however, is that NZ reporting of the games are not headlined by the sublime 144 of Steve Smith on return from exile or the fact that the Poms could not amass the equivalent number of runs to Australia's first innings (They scored 27 less) despite batting on a wicket that had settled down by session three, day one, to allow the last two Ocker wickets to contribute 166 and the Ocker attack being led by a bowler damned near old enough to have coached Dennis Lillee.

Not even on the fact that the Poms are 17 behind with 6 wickets in hand after day two.

The headlines both days have been about a small crowd of wankers commenting on some misjudgements  from long ago by three of the Ockers, misjudgements those Ockers have paid very heavily for.

The wankers can be excused, they are, after-all, Poms but the slime can not, except, of course by the fact that they are slime and therefore far from in touch with reality.
