1162490 2010-12-16 23:05:00 Hey, if they lose and want to remember what it feels like to win again, they just have to play the Black Craps....

This desire to black or white something is a mystery to me?

Why not NZ team like the rest of the world?

Exactly why not New Zealand? Black or white seems a bit racist :horrified

1162492 2010-12-17 10:06:00 It would appear that Aust has an 81 run lead after an innings each currently. Snorkbox (15764)

1162494 2010-12-17 11:29:00 We will see I guess.

Aust 3 for 119 in the second innings so that makes them 200 ahead so far at stumps.

1162495 2010-12-17 22:11:00 Much as I'd like to see England win, you must never write an Australian team off.

And yes, slightly off topic....

Do you notice that when a player becomes an All Black, they always say they are really proud to have picked to play for the All Blacks, or to wear the Black jersey.

They don't say they are proud to being playing for New Zealand.

The same applies to the New Zealand Rugby league team, they always want to play for the Jersey, not New Zealand.

And yes or obsession with giving our New Zealand teams white or black name seems to be a very New Zealand thing.

Do the European soccer teams have names ?
Or Brazil or Argentina ?

1162496 2010-12-17 22:26:00 The problem is that the All Blacks, Black Craps, Black Sticks et al are seen as a brand (especially by their sponsors) not as a national team. KenESmith (6287)
