@virgil Windies definitely the worst, but that was expected. Most disappointing the Poms test side.
Really? A few genuinely world class players but mainly journeymen.

What a tight, intriguing summer of cricket NZ are having...
And it’s bloody marvellous!
The win record at the least
look, after what i have put up with, well, for ever really, I'm not really whinging. It's kinda nice to be so fucking dominant for a change.
I'm well conditioned to watching one-sided NZ seasons. What's taking some getting used to is that it's the guys in the black cricket jerseys who are, for once, doing the humiliating!

Another game another hiding, we have a seriously good team right now in the shorter forms - absolutely slapping everybody at home and came within an inch of knocking over the Indians at home in both the ODI and T20 series there.
There's always a mental hurdle with Aus, and England have a very good side, so it's shaping up to be a fascinating T20 series. Would be awesome if we could take that out.
Also, massive props to Munro. He's clearly worked his ass off to make the adjustment to international cricket, working hard to pick the right balls and play decent cricket shots. He's one of the most dangerous players going around at the moment, if he bats 10 overs we're way ahead of the game.

That also describes the team which thrashed them.

You guys are welcome. Having never had any nz cricket attire I swiftly bought one of those fern caps as soon as I saw it this "summer". All of a sudden the black caps are destroying...
Piss off bandwagoner......

True but at home, slightly better awesome players.....was enough to absolutely smash them.

We know we are the best on show at the moment, but who’s been the worse?
The Windies, Paki’s, English test side or the Aussie ODI team?Steady on there horse, we’ve still got to play those other two yet.
Ain’t no fat lady sung any tunes just yet... -

Feel like we've gotten away with Rance to date but we're playing him one game too many, and tonight he's going to get smacked.

Can't for the life of me understand why Sodhi isn't playing the ODIs, if not tests as well. He's a class act these days.
-
@no-quarter fucking commentators talking him up when he's only halfway through his overs. Then waddaya know, he doubles up on his runs.

In regards to tests, they want an all rounder at 6. Neesham/Anderson haven't come off so Santner bats there. Santner is a better batsman than Sodhi. I think Sodhi will be seen more in the future but didn't do a great job with taking his opportunities at the start of his career.
Amazing that Sodhi hasn't played IPL so far.
