Gynaecological Cricket Headlines

Nthn Advocate

An outstanding headline, about the good form of New Zealand cricketer Michael Papps, from last Friday’s sports section in Whangarei’s finest newspaper, The Northern Advocate. The headline was subsequently altered in the online edition. Our reader writes, “Being a male I thought this was quite good , but have no idea what the female side of the household thinks.”

The event was opening day of the NZ national championship cricket final in Hamilton. Papps, described in the NZ Herald as “the country’s premier runmaker in the State Championship” was representing Canterbury, South Island, against Northern Districts.

    “Being a male I thought this was quite good , but have no idea what the female side of the household thinks.”

    Does the female side even READ the sports pages? :P

    And this headline reminds me of the movie Naked Gun 33-1/3rd: THe Final Insult :D

    Best headline EVER!
