Indian Cricket Tour of NZ 2020

[Bovidae]

Oh, what could have been.

Smith is fuckin' annoying!!!

[mariner4life]

Fucking hell. Just bowl in the slot then Tim

[booboo]

Cricket is shut

[Godder]

Live by the yorker, die by the yorker.

Can I just say, STOP FUDGING DEMANDING FUDGING YORKERS.

[Siam]

If only we could have got Sharma out off the first ball...

[Stag]

Why would you give Southee the ball in that situation? He has failed over and over under pressure in situations like that🤦‍♂️

[Chris B.]

Well, that was seizing defeat from the jaws of victory.

A bit of the Ilford 2nd XI about it!

[No Quarter]

Kane was absolutely sublime. Like on another level to every other player on the park. A match winning performance 10 times out of 10.

The rest of the team managed to pull out a choke for the ages. They should be embarrassed to lose that given Kane's performance.

[Gunner]

Still can’t believe the choke on the last over of the game proper.

After that 6 was hit it couldn’t have been much easier.

Choke of epic proportions

[Bovidae]

It shouldn't have even gone to a super over. Kane and/or Ross should have won it after doing all the hard work.

So close to the pinnacle of the hundred in a losing effort

That was worse than club standard keeping. I get we want a keeper that can bat, but for f*ck they still need to be able to keep up to club level.

[Donsteppa]

I can't believe I'm looking forward to seeing rugby before the end of March...

[Gunner]

Well bed time... kid no.2 will be awake in a few hours wanting a feed, and I can’t pretend to sleep through it with the Mrs being away.
Fudge.

I think actual keeping ability sometimes gets forgotten in these keeping all-rounder discussions, but he also basically failed with the bat, so we didn't get anything out of him.

Didn't they win? At least one game?

[Mokey]

The Black Caps super over is the All Blacks drop goal of those tournaments that never happened.

I think we need to start including super overs in training. This level of choke is just embarrassing.

[Bovidae]

I am sure this was mentioned during a recent tour that didn't happen, but what is 2m Peter adding to the batting? Some of the top order have regressed since he replaced McMillan.

The ability to score at less than a run a ball.
The record of being the most consistently poor batting side to tour Australia in 139 years.(https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/sport/2020/01/blackcaps-worst-test-side-to-tour-australia-in-139-years.html)

Stead and Fulton are increasingly the Todd Blackadder of cricket.
