Fantastic to see the boys supporting the Blackcaps in their T20 World Cup Semi Final against England this morning. 🇳🇿🇳🇿

Lads look like they bloody well enjoyed it!

And they were watching a former Chatham Cup winner out on the field for the Black Caps in Adam Milne (Wairarapa United). Not a bad footballer before the cricket took off.

2014:
Q. You played in a Chatham Cup winning football team [Wairarapa United] in 2011. Is the football career on ice now?
"That was a good bit of fun, but I don't know how much longer I can do it for now. It might be frowned upon by NZC if I got injured playing football."
Q. Did football ever take precedence over cricket?
"It did at high school for a while. I stopped playing cricket for a couple of years; my brothers both played football and I just followed them. Then in sixth and seventh form I got back into cricket and started making a bit more progress and thought it was time to give it a crack."

Lots of the Black Caps would have been excited to meet the All Whites too.
Always have been close links between the Black Caps and football, even a few dual internationals.
Richard Hadlee was goalkeeper for leading Chch club Rangers in the Southern League in the early seventies.

Nathan McCullum was one of Otago's best strikers in the late 1990's / early 2000's:

"I love football. I was probably a better football player than I was a cricket player," he says. A one-time holder of the golden boot for Southern League club Caversham AFC, with 19 goals in a season, McCullum was a prolific striker.
"The more I watch football, the more it makes me want to play."
Wiki:
"He scored two goals for Caversham in the 2003 New Zealand National Soccer League.... In 2017, he debuted for Auckland division 2 team, the mighty Ellerslie Diamonds, pulling his hamstring within minutes."
