For the ignorance northeners, a certain cricket match between the two 
countries (Australia and NZ) was finished by the Aussie bowler bowling the 
last ball underarm instead of overarm making it unplayable. Unsporting, 
something Kiwis try not to let the Aussies forget - it was a suitably rude 
retort to PT (sorry mate (no I'm not))  :-)

Now all has been revealed  - back to the kayaking....

One other thing, Aussies claim all sorts of NZ things as theirs, pop 
groups, desserts, etc., etc.. We don't let on that Paul Caffyn was actually 
born in Australia.
