Telly Tomfoolery

New Zealand is sport mad. Which is a good, good thing, as I can quite happily nurse a few beverages on the sofa watching pretty much any sport… even found myself watching a little bit of Netball (don’t knock it… it’s big business here!) and Crown-Green Bowls! The latter started to wear thin after about… hmmm… 2 minutes! Overweight OAPS gently rolling the ball down to the jack time after time.

Sky Sports inevitably do a damn fine job in broadcasting all of this sporting sweetness, but there is one nightly sports roundup show which tickles my fancy. And as I promised in an earlier post, my next ‘NZ like’ posting would be non-foody related… so therefore I give you something else I love about NZ. And that is…

The Crowd Goes Wild

Now, I love this half-hour nightly slot of sporting banter, as they don’t take themselves anywhere like seriously. The presenters do a good job of taking the piss out of pretty much everything in a completely unscripted fashion… plus… one of them – Mark Richardson the ex-kiwi cricketer – is a Spurs fan! God bless ‘im!

    @Andy & Georgina
    So I hear Georgina! So I hear. Don’t think I could get into it… not a fan of the rules. All a bit wishy-washy to be perfectly honest!
