India faces familiar foes New Zealand in Wednesday’s semi-final in Mumbai. However, New Zealand spinner Mitchell Santner believes that if the Black Caps can pick wickets at the start, then it will peg back India and keep the packed house at Wankhede silent. Advertisement“Hopefully we can hear a pin drop and a bit of silence in Wankhede – then we’re obviously doing alright. Obviously the start we had was unbelievable and it did silence the crowd a bit. Should India beat the Kiwis, then the two-time world champions will face Australia or South Africa in the Nov. 19 final in Ahmedabad.

New Zealand all-rounder Mitchell Santner is ready to recreate the quiet atmosphere he encountered in Manchester during the 2019 World Cup clash against India. With the semi-final showdown scheduled at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium on November 15, Santner is hopeful that the Blackcaps can impose early silence on the home crowd. Recalling the memorable win in Manchester, where New Zealand reduced India to five for three, Santner envisions a similar scenario in Mumbai. “We’re doing well if we can hear a pin drop and enjoy some silence,” Santner told Stuff.co.nz. It appears that the key to slowing them down is by taking wickets early on, that’s a crucial aspect of the game,” he added.

Mitchell Santner is hoping that New Zealand will be able to silence the crowd at the Wankhede stadium during the semi-final clash against India on November 15. The Blackcaps secured a famous win over India in Manchester during the 2019 edition of the World Cup and the situation was pretty similar. “Hopefully we can hear a pin drop and a bit of silence – then we’re obviously doing alright," said Santner to Stuff.co.nz. Santner feels that the best way to slow India down would be to take wickets upfront. "Obviously, the start we had was unbelievable and it did silence the crowd a bit."

New Zealand Rugby (NZR) has said it will continue the reduced tackle height law trial in its community game until the end of 2025. NZR community rugby general manager Steve Lancaster told the New Zealand Herald that the trial law, which forces a first tackler to tackle below the sternum, has both improved perceived safety and made for a better, faster game. Faster games“Our participants have told us that they want the tackle area of the game to be safer, and that’s been our focus. The resounding feedback we’ve heard from our players, coaches and referees is that they understood the reason for change, and that’s been critical to its success,” said Lancaster. The latter law trial has been credited for an improvement in overall gameplay from the set piece as well as a reduction in handling errors from the same.

Images from Instagram@allblacksWayne Barnes, who was the most experienced referee in World Rugby, was in charge of last month’s emotionally charged World Cup final between the Springboks and All Blacks – having since announced his retirement from the game. Upon review, though, the All Blacks flagged other concerns in an official complaint sent to World Rugby. “We’ve already sent a file into World Rugby to get them to make a few comments on,” outgoing coach Ian Foster said. I didn’t agree with a number of his decisions (in the final), but that doesn’t change the fact he’s a quality person and quality ref.

Gulf Harbour Golf & Country Club, which occupies a stunning isthmus location on the Whangaparāoa Peninsula, north of Auckland, is facing an unwelcome fate in a similar manner to several suburban courses in Australia. The New Zealand Herald quoted Frazer Bond, Gulf Harbour’s former director of golf, who shared photos and painted a troubling picture of the golf course. Writing in a blog on thegolfcompany.co.nz, star amateur-turned author Geoff Saunders opined: “Looking back over the troubled 25-year history of the course, permanent closure of Gulf Harbour may have been inevitable. From inception, Gulf Harbour has suffered under a series of owners with little genuine interest in either golf or the members. “Gulf Harbour may be in the right place but is fast becoming a monument to the wrong owners arriving on the scene at the wrong time.”

Western Bay Of Plenty Land Grab Proposal An Affront To The Right To Property"The Taxpayers' Union is slamming the Western Bay of Plenty District Council's suggestion that the Government forcefully take ownership of private property from its residents without compensation and lease it back to them as part of a climate change managed retreat framework. Taxpayers’ Union National Campaigns Manager, Connor Molloy, says:"While coastal erosion and other climate-related risks to properties are serious issues, it is an affront to the fundamental human right to private property – especially when managed retreat can occur without the need for confiscating private property. "Under the Council's proposal, families would be stripped of their ownership of their properties, and although they would be able to lease them back, the property value would significantly deteriorate over time. This ludicrous suggestion by the Council belongs in dystopian fiction, not in modern-day New Zealand."

As the world was recovering from the pandemic, inflation shot up, owing to widespread disruptions to global supply chains and sudden changes in patterns of demand. (Disinflation is a decline in the rate of inflation, not necessarily of the actual price level, and is what matters for central banks monitoring changes in prices. The pandemic-induced inflation was exacerbated further by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which caused a spike in energy and food prices. There is no evidence that countries with 2% inflation do better than those with 3% inflation; what matters is that inflation is under control. Once again, the standard macroeconomic relationship between inflation and unemployment – expressed in the Phillips curve – was not borne out.
