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

[vcs]

This is going nicely according to the script. Thanks for playing nice, NZ.

 

[CM Punk]

Lol, we're not entitled to lose to India at home in near perfect conditions for their bowlers, after losing the toss?

We're getting hammered by all the top sides.

The only sides we can compete with are SL, Bangladesh and WI.

Finally, a Kiwi who knows his place.

There's hope for the bloc yet.

 

[Jono]

Woot woot

 

[Flem274*]

dunno what's more annoying in NZ losses, the false hope to the end or having to read posts by CM flunk and jonsooks while it happens.

Not fussed about it.

Not that big of a cricket fan that the losses would really hurt. As long as the AB's are going good, I'm fine.

 

[ImpatientLime]

We deserve to be playing second division cricket.

We're Test minnows again.

no one is beating india in india anytime soon.

same thing will happen to england in a few months.

It's not about beating India, it's about being competitive against the top sides.

We've been hammered by Aus, SA, India and will likely be hammered by Pakistan at home.

KW is the only player who can be relied on to perform against these sides, the bowlers and batsmen simply aren't good enough to perform well or consistently against them.

 

[vcs]

I think we should cool it a bit with the excessive appealing. Rather unsportsmanlike.

 

[straw man]

Taylor looks terrible. Please remember how to bat.

Yeah we're getting hammered by SA, Aus and India.

People are so quick to jump on the "NZ are terrible" bandwagon including most NZer's hence why most of them missed NZ's latest "golden age" of cricket.

Last time ye played England in England it was 1-1.

The series has not been lost yet and to be fair pretty much everyone will lose in India bar Pakistan these days.

Side for the 2nd test:

Latham
Nicholls (should be at 5 but already too many lefties in the middle/lower order)
Williamson
Taylor
Ronchi
Neesham
Watling
Santner
Craig
Wagner
Boult

They were giving each other ten, to be specific.

It's not about beating India, it's about being competitive against the top sides.

Haven't beaten one of the top sides since England ... I think it's fair to say the test team comeback is pretty much dead.

 

[TheBrand]

Tbh, I'd rather see us be aggressive, we're gonna lose anyway. Rather be all out for 200 off 40 overs than 120 off 70.

It's been all downhill since then.

IIRC we've lost 6 out of 8 since then against top sides.

1 draw in Perth and the other we were saved by rain in SA.
