About this ebook

Unashamedly the most biased sports book ever published in New Zealand!
Jack Sharp reminds us of the fifty biggest shellackings ever served to Australia by New Zealand's greatest sports teams. Sports include rugby, league, football, netball, cricket, basketball, yachting, horse racing,hockey and a few surprises. Warning: the contents of this book will create feelings of euphoria in Kiwis and even in small doses, will cause extreme discomfort to Australians. If symptoms persist, buy a second copy.
