Black Caps vs England Series
-
They've been a rabble since the WTC final.
That's the point.
Higher standards. Watching relatively talentless blackcaps teams struggle but also punch above their weight was a pleasure.
Watching a team full of all time e greats churn out a blend of mediocrity to shit for 2 and a half years is just utterly joyless.
There's been a rotten and complacent core to the team since the WTC, starting with losing to Bangladrsh, but really became apparent later that summer when they lost to a mediocre saffa team a weak after thrashing them .
We've wasted about 3 years of our greatest talent-bulge in our history. These guys should have been at their peak the last few years.
The best performances in that time have been when we've gone to India and some horses-for-courses players, and one-off contracted coaches like Herath, have freshened up this stale team.

Pathetic
-
Will O'Rourke has been bloody good
-
I think most of our bowlers have bowled well, but this is probably the worst fielding effort I have seen for a while. O’Rourke and Smith should have better figures than what they have
-
I was hoping that, among many things from the Indian series, finally winning a series 3 - 0 might mean a sign of consistent high quality individual performances. But there's a reason so few Black Caps command high dollars in the likes of the IPL...
Time to start preparing home bunsens and run with spining tracks and teams instead...?
-
NZ been paid to throw this so AUS and IND have better chances of making WTC final? I’m throwing the conspiracy theory out there lol
-
Atkinson providing some 4 balls just as we gave him
-
We deserve to get smacked based on our fielding alone
-
Only 9000….
-
These two really need to go big for us to get back into this test match. Arguably our two best batsmen need to convert in what’s pretty good conditions atm.

Fuck me what a dumb shot from Ravindra. Fell right into the trap.
-
@Canes4life and right on cue Ravindra throws his wicket away

Brainless.
Whatever they've done since the end of the Indian series, it hasn't been cricket.
Why would you play a shot like that in the position we are atm. Ravindra has a lot of growing to do.

We must be due to be saved by rain surely?
