World Cup
Oscar-winning actor Russell Crowe was born in New Zealand, lives in Australia and carries an Australian passport. He usually supports Aussie teams, but he's getting behind the Kiwis at the cricket World Cup, at least since his mate Shane Warne departed to face doping charges. Crowe's cousins Jeff and Martin were both former New Zealand cricket captains and Jeff is the current manager of New Zealand's World Cup team. Crowe sent the New Zealanders a message of encouragement ahead of their Super Six match against the Australians at Port Elizabeth. "He and I had a quick chat and he's wished us all the best," Jeff Crowe was quoted saying by the New Zealand Press Association. Jeff Crowe said that if champion legspinner Warne — who is serving a 12-month ban after testing positive to a banned diuretic — isn't in the Australian cricket team, his Russell cousin supports the New Zealanders.
