***Official*** India in New Zealand 2013/14

[Quaggas]

Woah, NZ, well done. An off-whitewash. Convincing.

 

[straw man]

Hugs all round

nice 4-0 in the curtain raiser, but this is nothing except good world cup development. we must win the test series. we need to show these ****s that while they can bully our crappy board off the pitch, we will wreck them on the pitch.

the test series will be much tougher too, but we have to win. we have to.

 

[jonbrooks]

Well done NZ. India were atrocious. Absolutely no fight in them whatsoever. At least get out swinging. What's the point of losing a game by 80 runs having batted 50 overs?

Match fixing anyone?

There is no need for that mate. Indian players != BCCI.

Next year if Tui have this same catch a 100k, anyone not wearing the shirt that impeades or gets in the way of someone wearing one, nees to be chucked the **** out.

Basically they're trying to **** you over if they get in the way knowing anyone in a Tui shirt and the lanyard could pocket 100k.

Next year we'll make sure the campaign features more media and educate those wankers (who aren't taking part) not to ruin it for everyone else.

It's been a good performance by NZ, but India's batting lineup is almost as bad as their bowlers. You've got Kohli and Dhoni and nothing else.

That's just not true.

They're not as amazing as they are in India, but they're still very good players. Dhawan is very good when he gets it right. Raina can occasionally come off. As can Rohit.

They've been completely tied down by perfect length and hints of shape.

Probably a big call considering he's only played one ODI, but I'd be picking Matt Henry ahead of Mitchell McClenaghan in a full strength team. He just looks like a better bowler.

they are the selected representatives of their board to play cricket. they're not responsible for the back room stuff but while some playing credibility might not help much, we still need to win. we can't give the big three a current example to point to when they want to hide their power trips behind concern for the game.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Another match where India concede 300 runs. They seriously need to sort out the bowling.

Wow that is a big call. Just a couple of games ago McClenaghan was close to being the quickest to 50 wickets in ODIs. Now you want to drop him in favour of a débutante?! That's harsh.

McClenaghan bowled well today without much luck. I think he's trying a bit too hard. He'll be back, just needs a bit of patience.

Henry looks like he's in a different class but he still needs to prove it. We'll continue rotating our bowlers until the world cup and all of the bowlers will have plenty of chances to show they are one of the best three. atm Mills, Southee, Mitch are still those three but Henry, Bennett and Milne will get their chances.

 

[Roundone]

Massive call but understandable. Though I guess on debut mcclenaghan looked well with 4-20. I think I would rate Henry higher than Milne and Bennett.

Naenae hahaha

LOL @ you saying no need for that to Flem when you mentioned match fixing the post before.

KW was running away from the bubbles, Jesse was running towards them.

congrats to the New Zealand team on a deserved and expected series win..another away series and another whitewash for india..hopefully they will perform better in the tests...

Flem reckons he's a like-for-like replacement to Southee in the test team, but I seriously reckon he could bowl as a 3rd seamer. Doesn't rely on swing anywhere near as much as Southee does. Decent pace and gets a bit of seam too.

Just an excellent prospect all round.

Whoa there, fellas. If you've paid for your ticket, you're just as entitled to try and catch a six as anyone else. Why should you miss out just 'cause some goobers in the crowd have paid to spruik a really terrible beer?
