T20 World Cup: Have White Ferns been shortchanged by world champion status?

haydenk2026-06-13T02:04:00.000Z

anyone working in this space has probably seen this coming.. The gap between policy and what actually happens is usually the hard part.

Blake Turner2026-06-13T02:05:00.000Z

Nah, they're world champs, that's what matters. Don't overthink it.

Jordan Bell2026-06-13T03:10:00.000Z

nah it counts. But the schedule and promotion was garbage.

Jordan Bell2026-06-13T02:20:00.000Z

But the scheduling is a joke. They win and then get no real recognition. Typical cricket nz.

Drew Parker2026-06-13T03:35:00.000Z

Exactly. Were they even on tv? I didn't see it anywhere.

Cameron Diaz2026-06-13T02:35:00.000Z

World champs but still treated like second class. Same old story for women's sport.

Ben Sullivan2026-06-13T02:50:00.000Z

Taylor Wright2026-06-13T03:05:00.000Z

Does it even count though? I mean the men's t20 world cup is the real one...

Ben Sullivan2026-06-13T03:20:00.000Z

it's still a world cup. They won it fair and square.

Drew Parker2026-06-13T03:20:00.000Z

Tbh I didn't even know they won. Says alot about the coverage.

Cameron Diaz2026-06-13T03:50:00.000Z

if they promoted it properly ppl would care. Shame really.

Ruby Fraser2026-06-13T03:40:00.000Z

As someone who works in sports media, the disparity is real. They deserved better.

Ruby Fraser2026-06-13T03:55:00.000Z

Preach. I've seen the difference first hand. It's not fair.

RNZ2026-06-13T04:50:00.000Z

your eyes. It's all connected.

Jamie Fox2026-06-13T04:00:00.000Z

Proud of our girls. World champions forever! who cares about the politics.

RNZ2026-06-13T04:20:00.000Z

It's a conspiracy by the ICC to downplay women's cricket. They're threatened.

Taylor Wright2026-06-13T04:35:00.000Z

here we go with the conspiracy. Not everything is a plot.

Peyton Hall2026-06-13T04:40:00.000Z

Glad they got the win. NZ needed something to smile about.

evanorth2026-06-13T08:09:00.000Z

You can see why this gets traction with students and renters. uni me couldnt afford that headline

phoenix.nz2026-06-13T10:18:00.000Z

this one will land with plenty of people for obvious reasons.. A bit more consistency would go a long way. damn.
