Having just watched the Black Caps beat the Poms in their opening World Cup cricket match, one thing that stood out in the TV coverage was the shots of the crowd.
Much of what was shown on the telly consisted of English fans dancing like they would at some outdoor dance party. It was quite funny, and I guess a pointer to the party atmosphere that would be prevalent in the West Indies at present. At times I was confused . . .was this a cricket match I was watching or an episode of ‘Jamaica Uncovered’
Of course this is TV so naturally we’ll get shown people in the crowed dancing over people who aren’t.
Last night I saw the news highlights of the Ireland v Zimbabwe match, and I couldn’t help but laugh at the Irish - it was just funny to see them running around in the emerald green shirts. The fact the Irish drew the match would have kept the supporters happy, so it was no surprise to see them dancing away as well . . .

What time and what channel is the Anzac RL test match on?
In NZ the kick off is at 9.30pm, Friday, April 20. It’s live on SKY Sport 1. In Aussie, it will be on Channel 9 I guess with a kick off at 7.30pm.
Who are you cheering for?
Cheers
