Friends, here is some good news from an otherwise sorrowful episode. A new shipping opportunity has presented itself: Perrin/Aram. Thank you @maythefoursbewithyou, your foresight and fearless shipping acumen once again impress. For you!

@maythefoursbewithyou well if that ain't the Truest Truth

Cricket asks: all of them

di you are very demanding

BUT FINE

Favourite quirk(s) of the game/following the game? the language and terminology, the utter confusion of people who don’t follow it when i talk about it, and the fact that it can last 5 entire days

What match or moment have you found the most tense to watch? NZ vs SA 2015 world cup semi final. i was literally watching through my fingers and it is the only time i have literally JUMPED out of my chair in celebration

What superstitions do you have when watching the game? i don’t really have any? i mean i do the traditional, lift your feet when a team or player you support is on 111, 222 etc, but i think that’s about it?

Do you and/or the people in your house have any unusual nicknames for players? not particularly, me and a mate started callin martin guptill gipty a few years ago, and kane is very often referred to as the tiny and adorable

Favourite funny cricket moment? when andre adamsgot anil kumble out with a double bouncer. also every time shane watson reviewed one that was hitting half way up middle stump

Your funniest cricket-related experience? i once had a dream that kyle mills bowled the last over of an odi for pakistan against nz

Favourite meme/ongoing joke? jeetan patel to open the batting. and also shane watson and his lbw reviews

Favourite T20 league? i kinda struggle to care much about most t20 leagues, so i guess the super smash kinda by default?

TV or radio or live text commentary? tv. i like seeing things. but bryan waddle is a far superior commentator than most that we get on tv over here, so sometimes radio

Do you prefer watching your team bat or bowl? i really like watchingwickets fall, so (provided we’re doing ok) bowl. but also we have kane so bat

Mystery spinners or firebrand pace bowlers? as one of them myself, definitely mystery spinners. if it was between mystery spin and perfectly controlled swing bowling, it would be a much tougher choice for me

Classical batting strokes or inventiveness and innovation? give me a kane cover drive any day of the week

Whites or pyjamas? whites. both because i prefer tests, and also because too many of the coloured uniforms i’ve ever had have literally felt like pyjamas and that is not fun to play cricket in

Swashbuckling centuries or blocking in defiance? i fucking love watching the last few wickets survive a day or so to pull off a defiant draw

Fast bowlers’ union or the batsmen’s brigade? i’m all about bowlers sticking together

Which cricketer do you want to protect? mustafizur rahman and temba bavuma

Which one is a trashbag that you love anyway? this took a lot of thought, because apparently all of my favourites seem like at least mostly decent and reasonable human beings? so i’m gonna go waaaaay back and say WG GRACE

Which one could you not care about any less? shane watson. also from recent ish nz times, doug bracewell

What player do you think deserves a bit more love? the player who deserves more love from me specifically is definitely tom latham. i just will never be able to like him for sibling reasons. and that is completely unfair on tom

Favourite cricket kit? black caps odi kit from 2013/14 (i think i have that right. maybe)

THERE I DID THEM ALL IT TOTALLY DIDN’T TAKE ME OVER AN HOUR TO GET THROUGH THEM ALL NOPE NOT AT ALL

@maythefoursbewithyou replied to your photoset

What you met him omfg did you post about it????

I MET HIM AND HE SIGNED HIS BOOK FOR ME AND HE TALKED TO ME FOR A BIT AND I’M ACTUALLY STILL DEAD
