(or why it would be terrible if they did).
1. They haven't played a game in Australia yet during this World Cup, and our grounds are bigger than postage stamps.
3. Because they take the piss - we let them join our domestic competitions, and they end up stabbing us in the back by beating us. The Breakers just won their fourth NBL title, the Wellington Phoenix are currently top of the A-league, the Warriors have one of the biggest packs in the NRL, and the Super 15, well, the less said the better.
4. The whinging about the underarm. OK, so it wasn't in the spirit of the game, and made us look small-minded and terrified of losing. But it was 1981, was actually within the rules, and you were wearing beige so probably deserved it anyway. Enough already.
6. On a properly paced pitch, with a proper size ground, where the dew doesn't settle halfway through the second innings, they will struggle to hit sixes or swing the ball.
7. Russell Crowe.
9. Phar lap. It hurts to be reminded that he was not Australian. But really, who cares where he was born? He was famous for winning for Melbourne Cup, not the Timaru Classic.
10. They aren't Australian.
GDay Guys,

Actually, the Basin Reserve playing area in Wellington is bigger than most grounds in Australia.
3. Because they take the piss - we let them join our domestic competitions, and they end up stabbing us in the back by beating us.

It has been a long time coming and we Kiwis will enjoy our moment in the sun and keep reminding you of it too....

No, never enough. That was no way to win a match. You forget that we Kiwis play the game for the love of the game but when we get dealt a low blow like that one, that is something we will never forget. We forgive most things but that was and is unforgivable.
6. On a properly paced pitch, with a proper size ground, where the dew doesn't settle halfway through the second innings, they will struggle to hit sixes or swing the ball.
See point one.
7. Russell Crowe
Russell Crowe is still a Kiwi - or didn't you know that? Jeeze......
9. Phar lap. It hurts to be reminded that he was not Australian. But really, who cares where he was born? He was famous for winning for Melbourne Cup, not the Timaru Classic.
Phar Lap was still Kiwi owned, bred and trained. See also point 7 above.
10. They aren't Australian.
And that is a good thing surely.

Just imagine if your team of world class superstars were beaten by a bunch of guys from NZ who might not have the pedigree but believed in themselves, played as a team, were hungry and humble with it. If we win it becomes one of the great moments in our sporting history, if you guys win it's just another trophy in the cupboard. If we win the country rejoices, if you win the fight over the captaincy continues. If we lose we applaud our team and take it in our stride (unless it's the AB's). If you lose you should be looking for a hole to hide in. I suppose tomorrow will tell if you guys are opening the cupboard door or heading down to the local hardware to purchase a wide mouthed shovel. And when you spoke of our sportsmen disrupting your parties, you left Kiwi, James McDonald and Jimmy Cassidy off the list. |
....Pity it was to no avail.
