Robert Menzies (cricketer)

 * ... that Robert Menzies played cricket for New Zealand in 1939?
 * Comment: A bit of antipodean humour here: Robert Menzies was the longest-serving prime minister of Australia and served during the Second World War, so having his namesake play cricket for New Zealand is somewhat humorous the reason I'm nominating this otherwise-boring article. Along the lines of the Gordon Brown / Kim Jong-Il thing in 2009.

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Article seems fine to me. Was entirely unfamiliar with "Cricketarchive" but it's used in FA-Class articles like Len Hutton so I'm assuming it's totally fine; my only concern is that it's the basis of the vast majority of the article, making it rather dry. A little sports journalism about his performance might help that, should any exist and/or be readily accessible. At this stage we're fine with that we have though. Good to go.
