🇮🇳 has played home Test series of three or more games since 1933. 91 years & 65 series later, they’ve been whitewashed for the very first time. This is by far the greatest achievement in @BLACKCAPS history & one of most remarkable Test series performances by any side full stop.

First over of the first day of the Sydney Test. Tall blue sky. Australia got a wicket off the second ball. Pakistan scored a lovely boundary. Life is good.

Labour's not dead, but it's lurching into last-gasp territory

Labour's not dead, but it's lurching into last-gasp territory

OPINION: While Labour will be going big on a cost-of-living package this weekend, the question is how many voters are still picking up the phone.

Kevin Pietersen deserved to have a longer test career than he did based on his performances. Based on his commentary it is obvious why they didn't want to spend 5 days hanging out with him regularly

As the Labour caucus retreat is happening today it's important we look back on this incredible piece of New Zealand political history two years ago

Um, so I embarrassed myself bowling to @IainLG today during the lunch break. Newshub caught it and put it on tv. It’s possibly the worst sporting act ever caught on television. I stand, withdraw and apologise.

My lucky pre-game meal is a lukewarm, 3-day-old sausage roll, washed down with a chocolate milk at 7:30am before standing out in the sun for 8 hours. I smoke half a pack before waiting to bat and drink 15 schooners at days end. Not sure about putting this vaccine in me body but

Replying to @FranOSullivan
Farage on Brexit: “it’s preposterous. The UK must be a sovereign state. We must be able to make our own decisions as a country”. Farage on NZ: “it’s preposterous that you have your own views on China”.

Regulatory Impact Analyses help assess the costs and impacts of a policy. Cabinet quietly let itself off the hook for producing them last month, meaning some of the most expensive decisions ever made by a govt will receive little financial scrutiny. stuff.co.nz/national/3000041…

Need a more radical think about business tax including dividend imputation - 15% tax rate or opt in for imputation and a higher rate. This will change investment behaviour. We have to think like Singapore #afrsummit Hamish Douglass @magellan
