Aotearoa holds my heart, South Taranaki holds my soul
I loved it. Was I the only one who noticed the subtle digs at the current mess we're in?
Just fabulous.

My only complaint is parliamentary telly cutting out at the best bits ... What a speech!

The best whisky! Lá fhéile Pádraig sona dhuit from Aotearoa, New Zealand! 🇳🇿🇮🇪

This is a great thread. I love this train journey. It reminds me that I'm well over due a repeat, I just need an excuse to go to Auckland now 😉

I agree ... Utopia is very funny, even if a little too real 😉 and Fisk is brilliant.

It's as though an MP hasn't died in office before! It's probably protocol ...

Moreover, where is the respect?? I'm less and less inclined to say NZ's better than that, which is heartbreaking! ❤️

Also, they probably only sit once a week anyway 🙄

Is this our "Bush wasn't that bad after all, at least he knew politics" moment? God, help us!!

Who woulda thought that Liz Truss was a Republican 😉

Exactly! Very good point.

They've been making quite the statement this season in this political climate, is NZ cricket. I'm absolutely loving it! 🏏🏏🇳🇿

I know, it's a gorgeous tribute. I have the DVD of the film made for Sunday Theatre. It's a wonderful love story.
My G'dad played provincial cricket at the time, playing against Bert Sutcliffe & captaining Western Districts. I'm sure he would've known Bob Blair & approved of this tribute.

It may've just been for the inaugural Tangiwai test, but still, it's making a statement; and was absolutely beautiful!
Especially when it lead straight to the two bilingual anthems. 🇳🇿🇿🇦

It makes me very proud to be a cricket follower.

Or, showing where they stand in the current political climate 😉🏏🏏🏏

The beauty of the test format is watching in the background. 🏏🏏

Exactly! There is far too much teal blue.

Go the (as I now like to call them) ANZ caps ...
***I notice they now have ANZ blue caps rather than black ones.
I will say again: it's sponsorship, not branding!
But that's the ANZ for you!
Anyway ... On'ya boys. Have a good game. 🏏🏏🏏

I asked my (much younger) workmate if he recognised this today. For the reason that everytime he says "Kiaora" to us he does in a way that reminds me of Suzy.
He didn't recognise the song, and it was a huge scandal in the office 😜😢
The missed generation I guess 🇳🇿
