Well this scoreline is awkward….
Welcome back Black Craps
what really hurts is we were ranked No 1 in the world going in. It's nuts - we're going to do an AB like dive down the rankings I fear
Yeah but was always gonna happen. We still have our one world class player in KW but the support cast of good to very good players is dwindling and being replaced by journeymen.

Right now the one who looks world class is Trent Boult

He’s playing bloody well yes, but he’s still what I’d call Ross Taylor class. Very good, would probably walk into any international squad but maybe a bit short of being one of the absolute elite of his era.

He's played better in his position than Kane has in his during this series

I certainly can’t argue that, I do have a habit of judging guys on their overall records to be fair.
Four wickets in an ODI twice in a row is exceptional. 16 in his last five ODIs ! ( thanks cricinfo )

@NTA wasn't Miller v Jackson thw court case that established golfers have no obligation to hit the ball straight? Assume that would apply to cricket as well?
It was a cricket case https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller_v_Jackson
The case is well known for the lyrical opening to Lord Denning's judgment, the first paragraph of which reads:
"In summertime village cricket is the delight of everyone. Nearly every village has its own cricket field where the young men play and the old men watch. In the village of Lintz in County Durham they have their own ground, where they have played these last 70 years. They tend it well. The wicket area is well rolled and mown. The outfield is kept short. It has a good club house for the players and seats for the onlookers. The village team play there on Saturdays and Sundays. They belong to a league, competing with the neighbouring villages. On other evenings after work they practise while the light lasts.
Yet now after these 70 years a judge of the High Court has ordered that they must not play there any more. He has issued an injunction to stop them. He has done it at the instance of a newcomer who is no lover of cricket. This newcomer has built, or has had built for him, a house on the edge of the cricket ground which four years ago was a field where cattle grazed. The animals did not mind the cricket.
But now this adjoining field has been turned into a housing estate. The newcomer bought one of the houses on the edge of the cricket ground. No doubt the open space was a selling point. Now he complains that when a batsman hits a six the ball has been known to land in his garden or on or near his house. His wife has got so upset about it that they always go out at week-ends. They do not go into the garden when cricket is being played. They say that this is intolerable. So they asked the judge to stop the cricket being played. And the judge, much against his will, has felt that he must order the cricket to be stopped: with the consequence, I suppose, that the Lintz Cricket Club will disappear.
The cricket ground will be turned to some other use. I expect for more houses or a factory. The young men will turn to other things instead of cricket. The whole village will be much the poorer. And all this because of a newcomer who has just bought a house there next to the cricket ground"
