A touchy-feely kind of bloke who used to be chef de mission for Olympic and Comm games teams.

During that time he got a reputation for flogging the haka (that’s a Maori war dance folks)

A haka for every athlete who arrived at the village, hake for anyone leaving the village, and lots of hakas for anyone who won a medal.

Most famously a haka for a swimmer who got a bronze at the Comm games 2006 drowning out the Scottish anthem in the process.

So I’m picking he’s brought this nonsense with him over to the cricket team. And being the only Maori in the side, he’s probably got Jesse to lead it.

And leading a haka is hard work. Lots of foot stamping and groin slapping. Could’ve killed him.
