OPINION: Our sports bloke, Mark Richardson, has just notched up another 50 and this 50 is easily the slowest of his career - and it had some competition.
But this one has been carefully crafted.
Although, he has played shots, not one to duck out of the way too often.
But, The AM Show, according to the latest poll results, is by far his favourite Project. But Mark can't own a Block on every TV programme.
I love working with Mark, he' a true professional, fears failure, loves success and works like a trojan.
I think you're a great broadcaster that has grown immensely.
You have the highest test batting average of all New Zealand openers with 30 or more tests at 44.77. You were a bowler who couldn't bat much.
Then you couldn't bowl and set the goal of batting for your country. You should be proud of the last 50 years Mark.
Happy birthday. Let's do presents.
Duncan Garner hosts The AM Show.
