Description: A woman tries to comfort her husband, who has been watching the New Zealand Black Caps Cricket team play South Africa. He sits in a chair, with a black cloud over his head, and broken the television by throwing a shoe, which has shattered the screen. The woman says, 'I don't think they were that bad. After all, they did gain second place.' Their son reads a newspaper and says, 'And they got their names in the records book'. Context: New Zealand scored their lowest test score since 1955 in the game against South Africa, scoring only 45 in 19.2 overs. By the end of the first test, they trailed by 207. The throwing of a shoe is an insult often used in political protests. (Stuff.co.nz, 3/1/13) Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
