Bob Cunis Cricketer
Robert Smith Cunis (born 5 January 1941 in Whangarei; died 9 August 2008 in Ruakaka) played 20 Test matches for New Zealand as a fast bowler between 1964 and 1972, and was later coach of the New Zealand national team from 1987 to 1990. His son Stephen plays cricket for Canterbury. Test Match Special commentator Alan Gibson once commented, "This is Cunis at the Vauxhall End. Cunis, a funny sort of name: neither one thing nor the other. " However according to his Wisden obituary, the witticism was probably first coined by Alan Ross in a report in The Observer of the New Zealanders' match against Sussex in 1969.
