Where were the antagonising statements though? I can't remember any really. Raina pretty much calling Bangladesh mediocre is an obnoxious statement, NZ the world cup finalists saying they are here to win doesn't seem to silly.

I bet Windie is fuming he is banned right now.
Been a fun series with so many new names in both sides. Some took their chance, others didn't.
How many hit and giggle games are there?

You didn't 'let' us draw the Test series. Drivel

Oh please.
How far behind was England in the first innings?
Cook didn't even declare the final day at Lords. Cook had no intention of winning that game. He wanted to save it.
NZ should have played that match for a draw instead of going for a silly win.

Not my recollection of BMac's words. More like "we are coming here to win" but also mentioned that Eng are hard at home. What he didn't count on was the run of injuries - I guess this balanced a good injury-free run up to and including the world cup (Milne yes, countered by somewhat unexpected availability of Vettori).

Santner's drop was village. But that "bowling" by Mathieson, Southee and Henry. Those wides from the bouncers... That short rubbish spanked for boundaries..

Fans on here were ****y as **** before the series though too.

Well yeah... NZ was ranked higher in both formats because of strong recent performances...
I don't if fans were ****y.
Just expected to win given the respective recent form of the two teams.
Take Anderson, Milne, Neesham and Boult out of the NZ team and it looks a little barren.

He didn't need to declare. We had the bowlers to do the job and they Did it. End of discussion.

Great selection picking Bairstow. Knew he'd come good.

to be fair , a lot of England fans here were down on their side as well, heck you had English posters piling into 4/1 for NZ to chase 400 +
In the test series, the general feeling had been that a squared series was fair, don't think many NZ fans were to bothered about the limited over series and after the walloping of the first game were pretty respectful towards England.
I really don't see where the arrogance was?

And don't forget they didn't have Brett Matheson for the first 4 ODIS either.

Those grapes are so sour aren't they.

Yes.
This tour has been bitterly disappointing for New Zealand.
We lost an ODI series to the 6th ranked team. Its embarrassing.

Yea i too get this feeling that England have been lucky, which admittedly I can't substantiate. They were 2nd best in the test series too.
