Black Caps in India

[KiwiPie]

While Guptill's runs were critical and he gave is a great start - the phrase "riding your luck" comes to mind. He really did look scratchy and about to get out at any point but didn't - which makes a change from looking like a million bucks and edging to slip in the 3rd over.

Good win, looking forward to the highlights tonight as I bailed at almost half-way, confident that we would get to 330 ....

decider started, lost the toss again and the indians are having a bat.

Looks like we've dropped at least two catches and missed a run-out.

The weekend's sports results are looking more shit by the minute!

Ring ring "MS is that you?"
"Yes Mr Modi"
"Remember. In the 40th over of the 5th game your ass goes down"
"Yes Sir". Click.

[mimic]

[Mokey]

All out for 79. What the actual fuck. Not sure they should be allowed back in the country.

[Crucial]

These guys are meant to be an international quality side. Sure they aren't necessarily expected to win in the sub continent but 78 FFS! That's just a lack of application.

[JK]

Decided to go bed at change of innings thinking 270 was pretty gettable.

Sounds like i missed a classic!

[Virgil]

Sigh..

[Mokey]

The game highlights keep coming up in my suggested viewing feed on Youtube. Youtube is a sick bastard.

[Chris B.]

We almost escaped India without total humiliation.

Good thing we stacked the batting!

5/18 for Mishra.

Honestly, I think we performed way better than I expected we would in India.

@hydro11 I was surprised on hearing that our first ODI win in the series was the first in India in 13 years?

We got swept 5-0 in 2010 which was Franklin's best ever series for us. Those were our only other ODI games against India over there since 2003. We also won games over there at the World Cup in 2011.
