The Black Caps hit the big time!

You know you've made it big when you get a Wikipedia entry. The Black Caps now have a Wikipedia entry (for which we are NOT responsible), but they might not be too happy about it - check this out:



Stuff reports:

New Zealand's latest cricket failure has infiltrated the internet's best known encyclopaedia website - by fair means or foul.

Following the Black Caps' 41-run loss to Pakistan in Hamilton last night, frustrated fans vented their feelings in the comments section of stuff.co.nz.

The venom was well summarised by an update to the wikipedia website by a malicious editor who changed the team's nickname to the "Black Cr*ps or Slack Caps".

Further down, it says they earned that name "as they seem to show up to the cricket pitch and play like a high school team.

"Sometimes the team amazes New Zealand with individual brilliance, but normally they amaze us that these guys are the New Zealand NATIONAL cricket team."


That's gold. Suddenly the depths of desolation we felt after ANOTHER inept performance last night have lifted just a fraction.

Laughter is indeed the best medicine!

No, the best medicine is to abstain from what ills you.

I could never be bothered following that useless pack of inepts.

Bowled pretty well, but batted like a pack of idiots last night. Jacob Oram, take a bow!
