I know Kapil has the best figures in an innings, against the Windian marauders, in a losing cause but Maharaj may top the match figure record. Anyone remember what's the best figures for a bowler in a losing cause, over 2 innings?

No sympathy for rsa here. Recently people were talking about a death of sl cricket. Nope they just ran into an outstanding India team and rsa away. Since then, they've demolished Pakistan in the UAE, shouldve won in the wi (but they were idiots) and are on the verge of crushing RSA. Well done!!

I wouldn't read that much into it. They're great at utilising home conditions against unfamiliar tourists. They've been ok though lately. Definitely could have been worse.

SL gets more ranking points here, more ranking points for NZ when they lose yet here again ;)

Pak is the anamolous away Asian team.

Not that any seam competent teams can win in India, right now mind you.

That's what happens when you play short series, need more matches, especially in a series, to establish a pattern - home or away.

Eng gave em a 4 test series away in eng 2 years ago. I dont even recall nz's last 4 test series. Eng 99?

NZC fans - help me out :)

I know Pak has played 6 tests there since NZ's last 2 :(

But I'm not having a dig at Pak - their home tests in the past 3 seasons is more sad than SL or NZC :(

Karunaratne has a 150 in NZ.

Apart from that Mathews, Chandimal are OK batsmen in these conditions.

Mendis did fine in West Indies.

DDS, Roshen Silva are pretty much hacks in these conditions, and have very little experience in overseas games.

All in all, I can say Wagner, Southee and Boult will be having time of their lives.

CdG feels excluded ;)

Tbf Sanga scored a double while Boult became famous and Chameera worried NZC fans no end.

Pat Symcox was very very good. It was a pity he was 38 when SA had re admission. Would have been extremely threatening on dustbowls given his height the close to the wicket release.
33. Pat was a good ODI bowler but didnt offer anything at test level.
