There was this tall, athletic woman from Auckland one came across on a chilly, windy afternoon at Wimbledon last week.
Maree, in London to visit her daughter, has played competitive cricket back home, and she was talking, with a tinge of disappointment, about New Zealand’s underachievement despite producing champion cricketers like Martin Crowe.
