    Big day for NZ cricket – all the best to the Black Caps!

    A post for those who want to discuss the cricket. Or if not, I – (r0b) have this theory that right wingers are much more “tribal” about sporting events than lefties – evidence for or against?

    The Black Caps deserve to win. They can do it in style.

    Won the toss. Batting first.
    Funny. I know this is the final but I don’t think I can be more excited than I was by the last 10 overs of the semi.
    Still, making the edge of my seat more comfortable than it was; just in case like – I spent a hell time perched there gnawing nails to the knuckle.
    Kia kaha, Black Caps.

    We’re goneburgers. Best accept it now. Two positives:

    1) Key can’t run around crowing… he won the Cricket World Cup.

    2) The Aussies have got the worst PM in living history. Our’s is only the second worst.

      And despite being their worst PM, he made the right call to be at the more significant state funeral event.

        Tony’s doing everything he can to cling on which may just work if he keeps his mouth shut and behaves which in his case is pretty much impossible.

        Turnbull has the numbers it’s all about the timing.

    “Wellington (AFP) – New Zealand Prime Minister John Key believes he has made the right decision to be in Melbourne for the Cricket World Cup final on Sunday rather than attend the state funeral for Singapore’s founding father Lee Kuan Yew.

    Instead, Governor-General Jerry Mateparae will represent New Zealand in Singapore.

    “It was a difficult decision because obviously I want to go to both,” Key told reporters.

    He described Lee as “a close and long-time friend of New Zealand” and said that Mateparae, as New Zealand’s head of state, was more senior than the prime minister.

    Key said he had decided before New Zealand’s semi-final, when they beat South Africa with only one ball to spare, that if his nation made the final he would attend.

    “I think that’s the right call,” he said. New Zealand plays Australia in the final at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

    “Our two countries have a special rivalry. Over the years we have been treated to some truly exceptional sporting clashes and I expect this one will be no different.”

    However, his Australian counterpart Tony Abbott is bypassing the cricket and will join other regional leaders in Singapore for Lee’s funeral.

    Lee “was a leading international statesman of his time, and laid the foundation upon which successive Singaporean and Australian governments have built a strong relationship,” Abbott said in a statement last week.

    Leaders from Japan, South Korea, India and Indonesia are also attending the funeral.”

    Somehow I feel that JK has made another foolish decision.

    • Gavatron 6.1
      29 March 2015 at 5:45 pm

      Absolutely. When someome like Tony Abbott knows the right thing is to be there for the funeral of Lee Kwan Yew but Shonkey would rather be at the cricket … well it says it all really.

      And then why oh why did we choose to bat first at the MCG?

      • Jilly Bee 6.1.1
        29 March 2015 at 8:09 pm

        @ Gavatron – I tend to agree with your last sentence, particularly as the shadows appeared to play havoc with the N Z batsmen at times. Just hope our bowlers can deliver.

    • tc 6.2
      29 March 2015 at 6:05 pm

      JK focuses on his blokey image and photo opps first and foremost as part of the 2 track DP strategy.

      Being a statesman and tending to our international image is not on his agenda unless Uncle Sam says so.

    • joe90 6.3
      29 March 2015 at 6:48 pm

      Paul Buchanan sledges Key.

      John Key may be an avid sports fan (after all, he has appeared on the sports radio show of that paragon of domestic virtue, Tony Veitch). But one thing is even more certain: he is no statesman.

    Must everything be politicised? Besides which I don’t quite understand what you mean be “tribal”

    • tc 10.1
      29 March 2015 at 6:12 pm

      Sadly politics is woven into the fabric of many a sport either within the code or from outside via funding, sponsorship etc.

      it’s too powerful a force in so far as the influence over folks emotions for politicians to resist.

    And it came to pass that at the time of the vernal equinox did a demon rise again from the ashes and cast a shadow on the land. Great suffering was unleashed on those who did not worshop the GodKey.
    Not satisfied did he then turn on his followers in the north, first giving them the mark of the sabin and then sending his minions to witness the sacrifice of Mike of the assborn followed by the sacrifice of the ‘great muckspreader’ Sir Slugboy.
    On great wings did the demon fly away to lay his curse on those who the people had prayed for glory. “Weeshallwin” slurred the demon already drunk on his own power. The curse was made and the people prayed….

    29 March 2015 at 7:59 pm

    IMO the pressure got to some of the team and comehow they lost the plot.

    I saw the first fewers and the batsmen looked like they were completely out of thier depth. A sort of ‘oh shit what am I doing here’ look. McCullum was swinging wildly at the ball in his first two deliveries. He was freaked out.

    • Anne 17.1
      29 March 2015 at 8:05 pm

      There’s one good thing come out of this impending defeat.

      John Key passed up going to Lee Kwan Yew’s funeral because he was hoping to bask in the glory of another world cup victory. He wasted his time. I hope the opposition parties hammer him in parliament next week because its the second time he’s done it. Terrible look!!

            29 March 2015 at 8:31 pm

            Correct. Why else would he pass up the funeral of a famous international statesman – one we had close ties with in the 70s and 80s – to attend a cricket match? Because he was hoping for some great photo ops to help distract attention away from the Northland drubbing.

              Exactly, Anne. And some time to appear wearing a Black Caps uniform as if he personally was captain of the team! What a …. But I think his decision-making skills are in serious decline. Happens when the teflon wears off and the frypan turns toxic.

                Anne’ s absolutely spot on. Everything is calculated. Image is everything… stuff substance. That’s why he’s no statesman and will one day be judged as one of NZ’s worst Prime Minister… even if he was one of the most popular. A future generation will wonder how, and feel ashamed, their parents/grand-parents were unable to see just how awful he really was.
