CHRIS BISHOP (National): Thank you, Mr Speaker. I rise on behalf of the New Zealand National Party to support the motion moved by the Deputy Prime Minister. This morning's victory over India in the World Test Championship final at South Hampton should be recorded as one of our greatest ever sporting victories. It has not always been easy to be a New Zealand cricket fan. It took 26 years for New Zealand to record its first ever test win in 1956 against the West Indies. We didn't win our first series until 1969. Australia didn't play us till 1945, and then we had to wait 28 years before they deigned to play us again. Eight years ago we were dismissed for 45 in South Africa, but we have always played with courage.
