While I much prefer black to teal for @BLACKCAPS, it’s important to remember what they were wearing in 2000 when they won their first world title…

Nayan has co-edited a cool new handbook on reproductive medicine & technology: “As 🌎 becomes increasingly interconnected thru travel, communication & information, interdisciplinary approaches to address global & reproductive health issues are crucial.” newsecuritybeat.org/2024/04/an-ess…
Last night, post-dinner family deliberations. Me: Okay let’s have a family vote on what we should do until bed time. Samraj, 6: If we are going to vote, we will need to build a ballot box first.
This headline is more weird than divisive. In that baseball is a sport dominated by pitchers, and in which it is very hard to score runs, it’s much more like Test cricket on bowling-friendly wickets than like very batting-friendly T20s.

With a six-year-old who loves watching football live in a big crowd, I really wish @WgtnPhoenixFC were starting at 4pm or even 6pm tonight.
Autumn in Wellington is alright.
.@BLACKCAPS’ record v 🇵🇰, all formats: Last decade Overall: Won 39, Lost 28 in 🇵🇰/🇦🇪: Won 15, Lost 18 in 🇳🇿: Won 23, Lost 7 Before then Overall: Won 45, Lost 80 in 🇵🇰/🇦🇪: Won 7, Lost 43 in 🇳🇿: Won 29, Lost 26
After seeing this scorecard in its first game, I did not imagine a scenario in which 🇵🇰 failed to win this series. Quite the turnaround by @BLACKCAPS.
The Foreign Minister is in Türkiye to represent NZ at Anzac Day commemorations. He will be speaking during the dawn service from Gallipoli, which starts at 2.30pm NZT. The dawn service is being carried live on Whakaata Māori, and streamed online: maoriplus.co.nz/live-tv/whakaa…
In the 67 years from October 1955 till October 2022, @BLACKCAPS played 43 times in 🇵🇰: 21 Tests & 22 ODIs. By the end of this series, in the 17 months since December 2022, they’ll have played 18 times: 2 Tests, 8 ODIs & 8 T20Is. 6 games a decade ➡️ a game a month 🏏 🇵🇰 🇳🇿
Absolutely delighted to catch up with Director-General Pradeepa Saram and her delegation from the 🇱🇰 Ministry of Foreign Affairs - who are in Wellington to start the process to establish a 🇱🇰 High Commission in 🇳🇿 🇳🇿 🤝 🇱🇰 @MFA_SriLanka @NZinSriLanka @MFATNZ
An extremely important question.
The Minister’s four diplomatic appointments were: Daniela Rigoli, Ambassador to Chile Catherine Graham, High Commissioner to the Cook Islands Catherine McIntosh, Ambassador to Philippines Katja Ackerley, Consul-General to Los Angeles 2/2
New Zealand is contributing NZ$7m to support communities in Ethiopia 🇪🇹 and Somalia 🇸🇴 affected by food insecurity and other urgent needs. NZ partnering with @ICRC , UN Ethiopia Fund and NZ NGOs. ⬇️ beehive.govt.nz/release/humani…
Mark Chapman loves playing T20Is v 🇵🇰 His T20I career to date for @BLACKCAPS: v 🇵🇰 18 games 521 runs 52 average 165 strike rate v everyone else 36 games 611 runs 25 average 128 strike rate
A Sunday morning cycle.

@michelappleton @BLACKCAPS You gotta admit those teal strips are iconic though. Especially for my generation growing up
@michelappleton something which looks nothing like this current strip?

Usually i say one or two seats left hurry up! but this time I reckon you’re too late! Top crowd in good voice @WgtnPhoenixFC
@michelappleton @WgtnPhoenixFC They can’t, because of local footy on. They moved it so people would be able to go to the game
@michelappleton Wish you a happy new year!! Hope you enjoyed the puzzle, we at @panther_lk enjoy seeing such posts.....
@michelappleton @BLACKCAPS sutcliffe was the best player in the world in the late 40s. in the absence of many tests it seemed just to include him in the 40s selection
@michelappleton @BLACKCAPS 1940s. Martin Donnelly. 1930s. Jack Cowie. Both should be in a NZ all time XI.
@Sportsfreakconz @michelappleton @NewYorkNixon @BLACKCAPS Also truth is, 262 was a helluva total back then in any 1-dayer. Equivalent to 350 these days.
@michelappleton @NewYorkNixon @BLACKCAPS That's a massive difference that got totally overlooked at the time IIRC
@NewYorkNixon @michelappleton @BLACKCAPS Still hurts huh .. 32yrs later. Amazing how it still hurts.
@michelappleton @BLACKCAPS AND they beat THEM in the final
@michelappleton @BLACKCAPS It's always subjective where to draw the line but for me, losing to Bangladesh at home was the clear end point of the golden era. We haven't been the same since
@michelappleton @AdamKerrBell @BLACKCAPS I think restricting it to only 2016 and 2019 downplays the issue (especially since it basically just happened again, although they did fight hard in the 2nd test), but we'll agree to disagree. I think we can all agree that more tests against them and 3 test series would be nice.
@michelappleton @jrodbourn @BLACKCAPS Agree. Post our home win in 1993, Australia became an all time great test team up until the early 2000s. NZ didn't have the depth or quality of that side, and they actually competed well at times. Its hardly underachieving. 2016 and 2019 were our best opportunities to beat the.
@ajx_screws @michelappleton @BLACKCAPS If we just automatically award every test match to the stronger team then underdogs might as well just not play. The West Indies must have missed that memo last month though.
