Baaaaahahaha- DC goes on holiday and NZ sport goes gangbusters. Can we please crowd fund a holiday for you around ooooh October/November of 2027? Cheers
Now the ODI series in India for the White Ferns is a key test. Is this the beginning of something, or a brighter but falser dawn than the Comm Games medal?
I hope it’s the former, it’s too good an achievement to just be a ‘remember when’ moment. There’s just that nagging question of what changed and as you alluded too, how lucky did they get.
Now, NZC need to make the most of what it means for female cricket here too.
And we won world canoe polo champs. As the years roll by people will say where were you for NZs greatest ever sports weekend. And our most esteemed sports writer will have to say. “ I missed it”. 😂 I honestly expected pages of daily write ups just on the black caps v India test. Especially as we sat there with India on about 400/3 in their second innings and I felt sick thinking surely we aren’t going to go down as the only side to lose when they have a 350 run advantage from first innings. Go the Lions this weekend 🦁
Just checked that Matt and you’re right, highest first innings lead going on to lose (ignoring forfeited matches) was 261 in 1894! I’m with you I thought we were toast. Though I sent a message to my brother saying our only hope was a hooping 2nd new ball… and my prayers were answered. Things could’ve got really ugly if they’d pulled a dud out of the silver box!

Enjoy the well earned break :-)
The greatest 12 hours in NZ cricket history imo

400/3 sounds about the exact time I threw a hundy on India to win
