She said she cares and would do whatever was needed. Well, perhaps this proves it. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, pictured, will return to Mid Canterbury on Thursday next week to check out the district’s flood recovery. Ardern is returning following a special invite from the Ashburton Guardian. And it will be timely, given the finger pointing the Government has faced over its Ashburton flood and beleaguered bridge response. Read more, page 2

OUR VIEW Cricketers beating the odds as there ever been a more important test match in HNew Zealand cricket’s history than the inaugural world championship final against India starting in England tonight? I doubt it. The match at South- ampton will be one of the most anticipated in our game, but on paper it looks to very much be a David versus Goliath clash, given India’s significant resources and cricketing wealth. A New Zealand win would surely be a massive upset, even allowing for how well its “B’’ team performed to emphatically beat an understrength England last week to claim such a notable and rare away series victory. But, as they say, funnier things have happened, and this is a Black Caps outfit that continues to surprise and beat the odds. It has a well-balanced line up, with quality performers throughout and a new test star in Devon Con- way, who again could be a pivotal figure. But in what could well devel- op into a knife-edge contest for test supremacy, the fortunes of both teams will again rest heavily on the shoulders of respective captains, Kane Williamson and Indian superstar Virat Kohli. They are their team’s batting masters, ranked number 1 and two in the world and with so much to play for.
