Indian Cricket Tour of NZ 2020

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.

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

If only we could have got Sharma out off the first ball...
If only we had a fielder who was allowed, say, gloves...
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.

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.

Well, that was seizing defeat from the jaws of victory.
A bit of the Ilford 2nd XI about it!
Didn't they win? At least one game?

I am sure this was mentioned during a recent tour that didn't happen, but what is 2m Peter adding to the batting?
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.

Made even worse that we are constantly reminded in the commentary by the people they replaced.

Yeah there have been some worrying signs about the quality of the coaching staff from day one more or less. The bigger question is what's the alternative. We really want to avoid a repeat the Andy Moles debacle.
At what point will NZC look at a change? Long after the horse has bolted I expect
