Found this when sorting through some stuff to sell online. Not worth selling, but a reminder from previous elections that the more things change, the more they stay the same. AoNZ voters never learn. History repeats itself.

New Zealand endorses new private T20 league, wants more focus on women
New Zealand Cricket (NZC) has named the proposed NZ20 franchise league as its preferred option to replace the nation's 21-year-old Super Smash but wants women's competition included in the proposal.

NZC have been suckered into chasing the short term (but much needed) dollars ahead of long-term development. Trading in the Super Smash for the NZT20 is not a case of trading gold for silver but trading silver for boxes of kiwi fruit - which will sadly go off before NZC can get a return on them.

NZ Cricket is hoping a new NZ20 franchise will revitalise the local game and retain top players. But the competition is fierce and the price could be high.

followed by a Wellington team bolstered by Ellyse Perry and Maitlan Brown outclassing a Northern Districts side without any overseas players (well, apart from Samoa's Carol Agafili). Obviously NZ20 isn't designed for women's cricket, but I think some change is needed to make it more competitive.

On the morning I was born there was a severe thunderstorm and tornado outbreak. One of the first sounds I heard was tornado sirens. And this was 1984, so these were probably old Federal air raid sirens. Imagine this is what your first day sounded like: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nz20...
