Its hard to get passionate about a loss in one day cricket, even if it is against a nothing team like New Zealand. The only question on my mind when looking up anything relating to this series is "when do the tests start?".

Oh, Hamish got out. He looked like he was going to stroll this one home.

Oooh, and ABdV. This would be a truly inspirational collapse from the Saffers if they lost it from here. Possibly their best ever.

You can't really fault the Pak bowlers, can you? Probably the best all around attack in the world, but it has to be depressing to have all your work undone by dog poo poo batsmen and wicketkeepers.

See, Gorn Myson, this is the kind of thing they actually believe.

They'd never admit it now of course, but they used to genuinely believe Mitchell Johnson was better than Dale Steyn.

Do you remember when Khawaja was the next Ricky Ponting and going to anchor their batting at the number 3 spot for years to come?

2 weeks that lasted.

WICKET. Siddle run out in controversial fashion. Gony chases the ball which touches the rope. Picks up and runs the batsman out. #INDAvsAUS

Umpire asks 4 replay while journalists, sitting along the boundary line, signal ball hits ropes. Rohit Sharma gestures media to keep quiet,

Fielders seem to know it was a 4. Rohit Sharma was quick to ask the media to shut up when they pointed out it was a boundary. #IndAvsAus

Nathan Astle, Nathan Astle, you could've won the match. You might have scored two hundred, but you dropped the vital catch.

The three roles of APCs:
Transports.
Supply trucks.
Distractions.

I just love how similar these two matches were if you change a few names around (other than the closest thing to Astle's 222 being Southee's 77no).

Typical English spitefulness, that innings transcended the result. Over the previous few days Thorpe and then Gilchrist set new records for fastest 200 then Astle just brutalised it. I was out playing a 3rd grade game that day, we really didn't give a gently caress what was going on in our game and were annoyed when we had to go in to bat since it was much more entertaining to crowd around the radio listening to Astle thrash the poms around with impunity.
