TOPIC:

I see the Kiwis had their arses handed to them yet again by India in an ODI today....as Australia are discovering atm its a huge difference playing the likes of India, South Africa (anywhere) & England (at home) to the likes of a depleted Sri Lanka!!

NZ didn't beat SL within 3 days too BH....but saying that, this depleted SL side that lost to Aust, is even more depleted than the SL side that lost to NZ.....

Yep no doubt Freeze Angelo Matthews alone is a huge loss for SL but I dont hear anyone in Aus going over the top in their praise either unlike some of the Kiwi crew on Fox who have had a large reality check!
At least they will play a depleted India with Kohli going home early to freshen up for some upcoming important games!

A lot can change in 5 days.Nz looked like world beaters 5 days ago.Now after 3 thrashing by India.We have to think again about the Blackcaps.

Though reckon its India first....daylight the rest

I see the Kiwis have India on the ropes in the 4th ODI in Hamilton with India 6/35 in the 14th over.
Pity the series is already done and dusted (IND lead 3-0) and Kohli has also gone home and Dhoni and co are not playing!

NZ Commentators Doully, Rucho, Smuthy & co wont be able to blame the Aussie who is NZ bowling coach (Shane Jurgenson) now for the lack of swing from the Kiwi bowlers like they were in Mt Manganui!!

Pencil in the Black Caps for outright WC favouritism now BH...you watch Guptill play a blinder too....can read the headlines already in tomorrow's Christchurch Press.....Great to see the Black Caps "fightback" tho.

Yep no doubt Freeze....although Guppy wont be chasing much but im sure he will still make an "incredible" 30 odd no according to the learned Kiwi scribes!!

They where just praising the Aussie bowling coach BH.Because Boult bowled his 10 overs out in one spell.And took 5 wickets.

Well that is amazing GTR after virtually blaming him in the previous ODI at Mt Manganui for the Kiwi bowlers unable to swing it.....of course it had nothing to do with the quality of the opposition bats who are missing in this game!!
