No sport does narrative like cricket - so good
3 Nov 2024
An understrength New Zealand sweeping India 3-0 in India is IMO the greatest series victory by any nation in the history of test cricket.
Absolutely astonishing.
Arguably their greatest sporting moment.

Hey Justin, when you’ve got a whole bunch of folk come into your pub wanting to watch the @newtownjets game, and you have 10 screens showing UFC and baseball, which no one is watching, maybe chuck the footy on champ? (They actually said no) (Lynch’s pub Narooma)

Kiwis winning Olympic gold 👍 kiwis winning Olympic gold over the US who don’t want to share 👍 And Argentina beat the All Blacks 👍 (let us not talk of the wallabies)

USA’s McEwen chose not to share the Gold with NZ’s Hamish Kerr. It went to a jump-off and the kiwi took it. Karma
