I’m thoroughly impressed by the amateurism of this team with black shirts on.

Rank amateurism.

I wasn't any kind of cricketer. But I can do maths, clearly our batsmen missed those classes. What do these guys talk about during the week and before they go out to the middle? Not batting tactics I'm guessing

[canefan]

Why do they not want to send Ross back out? Seifert's luck has just about run out

[canefan]

Indians trying hard to hand the game to the kiwis but we won't oblige

Another two day match. Fans getting their money worth if they still awake...

Considering most of the fans in attendance are Indian I expect they are well chuffed

[canefan]

We are a clown outfit right now. Those first two balls sunk us in a deep hole

[Donsteppa]

We need one wicket, they need two runs (or one to rinse and repeat a Super Over)

[canefan]

Is Timmy physically incapable of bowling a Yorker? Indians doing what we should have done to finish the game

[Donsteppa]

Bah humbug.

[Dolamite]

I thought the Blues would have the worst choke today but the Black Caps just said hold my beer

[Donsteppa]

We can't even blame Smithy for that one.

[canefan]

If we had any sort of idea it could be a 2-2 series right now. Stupid stupid stupid tactics and execution

[LABCAT]

Southee has bowled six super overs and only helped us to victory once.

[Stag]

Absolute lack of mental aptitude. We had finally found it under McCullum but it has slowly disappeared under Williamson

[mikey07]

Why do we even bother might aswell just give them the game....pathetic

[newsjunkie]

@canefan 2 games in a row where Kiwis gifted it away. Not good to see.

[Mokey]

I'm really, really hating this regression to past BC sides that snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. None of these games should have made it to a super over for starters. As for our giant chokes within the super overs...DAMN. 4-0 drubbing that could have so easily been 2-2 if we weren't a bunch of farking idiots.

[KiwiPie]

To be fair, this Indian team is much better than the Black Caps and a 4-0 scoreline is a fair reflection. India imploded and from 88-6 they should never have posted 165 - if the BCs had a half-decent pace attack, which of course they don't.

NZ has paddling pool depth and nobody with quality appears to be coming through in all formats of the game. Taylor is about to hit 100 games each of test, ODI, T20 and surely he won't play for much longer - so there's the batting about to be weakened even further. Even young Kane isn't so young any more, Boult and Southee are getting long in the tooth and some young starlets are needed fast.

Then again, it is only T20 cricket. At the moment. There are test matches to be lost soon.
