Great to concentrate on the bubble burnout and MIQ mental health issues. Quentin de Kok’s retirement from test cricket at 29 just one sign. Hard enough to spend months overseas away from family, but add in MIQ and it’s a nightmare. I suspect that exhaustion was a factor in the tired and weak final All Black performances in the end of year tour.

Ditto the Honours...........Great women achieving so much at their chosen proffesion but I suggest others more deserving who have not had the glare of such fame...........

Agree with your sentiments re honours. The two women mentioned are outstanding in their sports and may be lovely people but that's about it at present unless their is community service I'm not aware of.

Too many of that type of recognition and for doing one's job. More needed for the "unsung" workers out there volunteering year after year.

In other news, the BC's look disinterested and worn out.
