Reminds me how very tame and reserved Kiwis are. Either that or most of the crowd at the Basin reserve are English? 😂😂
Other nations' fans would go ballistic.
When Root and Stokes seemingly threw away their wickets, I couldn't help but think it's the death of #BazBall

Massive Congrats to @BLACKCAPS esp new Test Captain Tim Southee. Led from the front - not just great bowling figures today but a crucial captain's knock in the 1st innings when it was desperately needed. Every single run counted!

Congratulations to Maria Ressa. And congrats to Nobel Peace Prize - you're back on track. #NobelPrize
BREAKING. Rappler CEO Maria Ressa is among the winners of the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize. Ressa is the first woman in this year's roster of laureates. #NobelPrize
In terms of individual performers, you can talk about Jarryd Hayne or Tom Trbojevic, who got / get through defence with speed and strength, but no one has ever mastered the art of deception and evasion as the man from Whakatane. #ThankyouBenji
#ThankyouBenji - One of the great @NRL careers - Benji Marshall is a player I will hopefully tell my grandkids about. His impact on kids growing up in the 2000s was massive. This is still the best try of the 21st century for me and one of the famous calls from @AndrewVossy

Incredibly proud of my brother @Dom_Perrottet who today becomes NSW's youngest ever Premier. 👏 Historic achievement. It's an economy more than twice the size of NZ's. And he comes from a family twice the size of his own. So if u think he has too many kids, think again 🤣 #auspol
.@roberto_helou explains what happened on 4 August 2020 in Beirut and what's been happening since. It's now 3 months on. Catch the video - some extraordinary footage he took on the day.
#WATCH: Three months after the blast that rocked Beirut & killed more than 200 people, the clean-up is still ongoing. Videographer Roberto Helou raced to the scene to help. He also took his camera. @alexperro heard his story. rnz.co.nz/national/programme…
Fantastic colleague, @RNZPacific reporter and pioneer presenter of @FirstUpRNZ, go well @Indiratweets! @Breakfaston1 are lucky to have you! 👏👏👏
Presenting this morning with a huge lump in my throat. Last @FirstUpRNZ show with this beautiful team 😔😔❤ Incredibly proud of them and the mahi we have produced! ❤ 💙❤
Wow, what a read.
If you happen to be in possession of a green box of documents from a political party and a foundation, that will ultimately lead to charges of obtaining by deception, who do you send it to?
@GuyonEspiner - even if you mangle his name.

What will today bring? SANZAAR boss Andy Marinos is not speaking, @RugbyAU insists NZR agreed to schedule. Will @NZRugby just have to suck it up?

#LATEST: NZ Rugby in war of words with intl counterparts over draw for Rugby Championship. NZ Rugby in Zoom meeting now - @alexperro has been listening - Brent Impey doubling down further, he says they were not informed about game dates forcing All Blacks in iso at Christmas.
Didn't go down well at all. @GuyonEspiner quizzed him about costings and Winston blamed his staffers for leaving those policies on the website.

Straw poll:
What are you more surprised at?
a) The passionate opposition to laws imposing the wearing of masks; or
b) The tacit acceptance that there are in fact limits to the 'my body, my choice' doctrine.

@Puriripark I take full responsibility. This Tweet was sent as the Warriors levelled at 12-12. I couldn't help it. The kiss of death. 😟
"You're not going to be running this programme, I am."
Now I understand why @winstonpeters has been an angry and frustrated man in interviews for the last few decades... he thinks he is the one conducting the interview 🤣

100%. I am on this Warriors bandwagon.
The @NZWarriors marching into the eight and making a deep playoff run is what New Zealand needs as we head towards the end of this year from hell. So, so impressive this evening. When they’re on, they’re on #LetsGoneWarriors
