NZ PM to decline the invitation by Hon President could be due to various reasons. The diaspora LTTE and DC will ofcourse read a meaning to their advantage and gloat about it. Who cares! Our Hon President has extended this invitation as a matter of diplomatic courtesy but if NZPM declines it let him regret it. Perhaps he feared NZ team will be beaten as England team was beaten and sent home packing with their tail between their legs, as Strauss said.
Good lession for MR
