I just wished an American would be skipper. Everyone of the crew of USA BMW were non-Americans except for the tactician.
Well, I’m rather pleased Coutts won it. He got treated like a traitor by NZ for taking the role originally, as though he should be expected to sit in obscurity and fail to aim for a role suitable to his calibre and experience.
It was a nasty jingoistic side to NZ that dissappointed me and failed to recognise all he’d done for in the past.
