Underarm and under the radar!

Outsider has been watching the Cricket World Cup being held around Australia and New Zealand and has noted the Kiwis are doing well with the leather and the willow.

Yet he also knows that one underarm incident will remain a burning ember in Australian and New Zealand sporting relations for many years to come.

However Outsider believes our Kiwi cousins want to have a bet each way - claiming NZ as ‘God's own country' but Australia as the ‘land of mammon'.

He knows Australia can't be that bad for them when 32 NZeders can get together for drinks and celebrate Waitangi Day on February 6 — in Sydney! - and have put out the call for another 32 to join them in 2016.

Apparently these Australian KIWIS (Kiwis In Wealth in Sydney) are being led by the shy Graham Rich of Portfolio Construction Forum and the retiring Julie Bennett of 64 Media, both of whom snuck over here round the same time as the bowling incident, and are looking at building their numbers by finding more of their kin in this country.

Outsider is quietly put out that he did not get an invite to the function. Yes, he knows he was born under the sign of the Kangaroo and the Emu but reckons he has put enough Malborough red wine through his system over the years to qualify, much of it offered by Aussie fund managers!
