Paul Lewis, writing in the New Zealand Herald, hits out at Kyle Mills' suggestion that the New Zealand media was to be blamed for the poor public perception of and structural changes in the team following their recent run of poor form.
If the power brokers at NZC are that suggestible, I'd like to make the following strong pronouncement: that, in this time of flux, Paul Lewis should be hired by NZC; that he should travel the world with the team where his principal function would be checking out the best restaurants and bars and writing the occasional press release to assure all those gullible fans that everything is all right; oh, and that he be paid half a million goo-goos a year for doing so.
Keen readers of this column will have noticed a bit of a pause then. That was me, waiting for the phone to ring.
