Holy crap are we good at cricket after all?

I felt comfortable in my assertion that perhaps the great performance of the Black Caps on Saturday night was a once off. After all, haven't we lost most of the experience in our team over the last year or so? Isn't our coach a weird nut-job that seems intent on alienating every damn decent player we've got? Isn't our best bowler, and the number one ranked ODI bowler in the world, currently playing for the Canterbury team because of some stupid tension in India between two different cricket leagues that for some reason bars him from playing a game for New Zealand in New Zealand? Well I certainly still stand by these observations, but somehow the New Zealand team has suddenly, miraculously, turned brilliant. Or the England team, which looked pretty professional in their two Twenty20 games, has totally gone to crap. It's one or the other. In any case, watching New Zealand totally hammer the crap out of England on Tuesday night was very satisfying. Some of the batting was truly amazing, an absolute joy to watch. I really do hope that we can keep it going, and that all the issues that I outlined above at least take a while longer before they truly start to hurt us. As a semi-boycott of Eden Park (due to their crapness last week) and also because it'd be a bloody mission anyway due to the stupidity of playing on a Friday, I'm not going to be going to the next ODI. If we can win that, we¿ll have the series wrapped up already. That'd be awes ...
