Some news. In March, I am joining New Zealand Cricket as Digital and Comms Advisor, leaving my current role at Telecom*. Somehow I’ve managed to combine what I do professionally with one of my great pleasures and passions – I’m thrilled.
Common sense says everyone’s least favourite satirical NZ sport blog needs to change in some fashion, especially when it comes to cricket. I’m still figuring out how that’s all going to work.
Because this seems like a significant moment in the almost-ten year history of the site, I will recap. Readers will know that sportreview.net.nz was and is about about having fun, not being cruel**. Constructive, not scatter gun. Remember, sportreview.net.nz’s raison d’etre is this:
“We Kiwis support our sports people admirably, but take it all a bit seriously. I just want to inject a little humor. Relax, it won’t hurt a bit.”
I do this site simply for the enjoyment of writing it and to hopefully entertain you along the way. And so, dear readers, please bear with me while I find the right way to do this.
*And now, at last, I can start working on the satirical telecommunications blog I’ve been longing to do. I joke.
**Clive Woodward did cop it, in fairness. Let those without sin, etc.
Nice one Rich, I’m sure you’ll sort out that middle ground sooner than you know. I hope ribbing Simon Doull about his constant use of the dreadful anti-language phrase ‘For mine’ isn’t off limit.
