I guess my point was more than they were clear favourites with the bookies etc, (yes hindsight is great) but if you actually look at the teams properly now it's not completely surprising why we've been so dominant. I hadn't seen much of some of the Indian players before this series but a lot of...
How is this Indian team regarded as one of the best in the world? They've just looked average, and statically only Kohli and Dhoni are world class.
Today their 3 and 4 were completely unproven international players, and Ashwin at 6, I mean were they taking the piss? Yes he played a blinder in...
Following on from what they said - "We thought 2008 would be the right mark. Taking only the previous game into account wouldn?t give a proper reading, nor would it be right to take the 43 odd years of one-day cricket into the equation."

What a...
He was one of our fastest before he got pretty badly injured, at a guess I'd say that he'll be up around 140 km/h now. Mills will be the likely replacement in our XI though.
Yeah, I like to think that we've always been a place who isn't afraid to stand up to much bigger countries (anti-nuclear stance etc), so it's a bit of shame if NZC aren't going to.
