I'm wondering if an international cricketer has been brave (or silly) enoughh to take on number 69? :lol: I'm not entirely certain, but from memory I believe a certain player does/did wear the No. 69.

does anyone think that the Kiwi's can pick up their act for the 1 dayers? they were terrible in the tests, I can't see them making a decent game of it.
