My mistake. 

Easy to do. This is cricket we're talking about. Not played much in England I think.

I don't understand why is it ok for Kiwis to bring up the under-arm incident, then act as if NZ sportsmen have never cheated/ 'cheated', pushed the limits of the rules or interpretation of the rules by the match  referee

 

Aha, and this is your fundamental mistake.

When we chant "same old Aussies, always cheating" we aren't also saying "and Kiwis never cheat". That is a ridiculous assumption.

Kiwis cheat with the best of them, no doubt. But, fortunately for chanting enthusiasts, the Underarm Incident is a key one in NZ's sporting history and so we get to keep leaning on it for fun.

It's for the lols though. Which is why it's such a shame that one Aussie ex-pat on twitter got her knickers tangled over it. We're just having a giggle. The right thing to do would be to a) laugh and b) have a dig back.

My Old Mans a Kiwi

He wears a sheepskin hat

He likes to fudge sheep up the arse

In his little Auckland flat

He has a sheep called Marty

He fudges it every day

When my dad gets a bit horny

Heres what you'll hear him say...

Oh Come Marty Come Marty 

Coooooeeeer!

Oh Come Marty Come Marty

Coooooeeeer!
