Developments in New Zealand are of little relevance to Australia, so won't have a lasting impact.

Please, Ma' am, is this New Zealand or Australia?

2nd attempt in typing out this quote. The A-Z are the favourites to win the world cup trophy and lift their own cup down under where they belong. The reason for them winning is that they knew, have known and know everything about life and cricket. They know all the details and uncertainties of life and cricket and have it all covered. Importantly, they run like hares, bounce back like the kangaroos and all of them, fielding is at par with Jonty Rhodes.

I was surprised to come here. I had never heard of New Zealand, we were expecting to go to Australia.

It used to be Britain and Ireland but more and more it is Australia and New Zealand. I think a lot of it has to do with the exchange rate, the pound is high and even the Euro is high, the Australian dollar is much better.

I have always opposed the idea of Australia and New Zealand being in the group simply because Australia and New Zealand are not really East nor are they Asian.
