***Official*** New Zealand in India 2016

I can't believe I ate the whole thing
Yeah I'm finding it a bit tiring now too tbh. But in their defense, NZ have been pretty ****. Ball hasn't even spun that much and they've just folded.
Yeah, everyone can see that. But you can also watch the game for it's merit and appreciate everything that's going on.

They have a highly negative and ****** agenda and it just makes the whole experience even worse. I don't mind us getting beaten, but I do mind people being ****s because they don't seem to have anything better to do than put the boot in when things are going bad for a reason that's beyond me. Except for, maybe, they're that breed of rugby fan who call in to talk-back radio to talk rubbish about cricket because they have nothing better to do with their life, and feel as though this might be the only time they will ever be right about something in their life so they pile on the hate rather than have an intelligent discussion with some decent analysis beyond 'hurr hurr we're the worst team ever drop everyone what an embarrassment'.

I'd like to see Watling get a score today. He's only averaged 21 in the last year if you take out Zimbabwe. Having the extra bat might help.

Yep I quite agree. It makes for utterly miserable reading.

I'd like to see Neesham get a decent score. I am disappointed he got included for Wagner, but I have enjoyed watching his high scoring test innings in the past.

Easy to forget that he still has a decent test batting record, given he's barely played for two years due to body disintegration, and then when he did play it was a very ordinary outing against Aus.

Yadav and Jaddu have been much less impressive compared to the Shami/Ash combo.

Edit: Point still stands.

Rahane has a serious case for being the best slip catcher in the world imo. I've hardly ever seen him drop any (barring that guptill drop).

every time i do more than glance at the score (like watch live, or even look at the score in detail) something terrible happens

won't watch the rest of the game. won't help, but i feel responsible

Jammy as hell innings from Neesham, but good to be reminded he's in the mix. Unfortunately the spot he's playing for is probably the least of NZ's concerns.
