Lodge, Nevile, 1918-1989:This is a busy year for the country's selectors. 1972

This cartoon shows five scenes related to New Zealanders' interest in selecting sports teams, such as discussions in the pub, over the fence and in the office. The final scene shows two jaded men going into the polling booth to vote in the General Election and one is saying to the other, 'I don't think it makes much difference which political team gets picked - I always get the feeling New Zealand can't win'.

Published in the Sports Post in 1972.

Extended Title - First there was the rugby team to tour New Zealand - now we have to pick the team to counter the Australians - then there's the team to tour the British Isles - and don't forget we had to pick the Olympic team too - so it won't be surprising if many of us are a bit jaded when it comes to making the year's final selection.
