A beige haka
By Will 2 years ago, mid-January, 1 Comment »
How should the ardent fan prepare to watch a game of cricket? Donning your most disgustingly beige kit and doing a haka, of course:
Lou Vincent’s 224. And tiddle.
By Will 3 years ago, mid-April, No Comments; be the first!
Long been a fan of Vincent since he made that debut hundred against Australia. Looked like a real gem, and perhaps this 224 will really be the making of him. Amusing aside in this article:
No Comments »Vincent was chanceless through to 193 when he was dropped by Jayasuriya in the deep in the last over before tea. He conceded that his batting partner Paul Wiseman had whispered “tiddle” as they crossed mid-pitch. Tiddle is the team’s code word to put the mockers on the outfielder.
“I thought there was no way he would drop that. Then I heard Wizzer shout out `tiddle!’. I love him.”
Beige Brigade: “It’s About Passion. Not Fashion”

Originally read this a few days ago thanks to Mike. New Zealand’s answer (replacement?) to England’s Barmy Army are the Beige Brigade, bringing back memories of the 1980s: perms, taches and some lovely tight-fitting & fetching beige kit! Their challenge is thus:
“As the players will be wearing Beige Brigade kit on the field, it seems important things are taken to the next level, so we have decided to reward any player who grows a moustache for the fixture. Any player who fronts up with a real moustache on their face will get “a lot” of beer delivered to their local cricket club, courtesy of the Beige Brigade”
