The Super XIV starts tonight.

What sort of name is that?

The rugby is far from "super" and in the real world we use 14.

For this reason, along with the fact that it is cricket season I'll give the rugby a miss until April at the earliest.

I was pleased to note a recent poll in one of the dailies suggested the majority will do the same.

One thing I must do though, before the season starts is predict a top two placing for the Perth based Force, solely on the basis that rugby writers in both NZ and Oz have rubbished the team.

Meanwhile I hope the fifth Chapple/Hadlee ODI is not washed out tonight.

A result could mean one of two rather inept captains is seen for what they are, which can only be good for cricket.
