The thing is, I feel like NZ’s actually a pretty good, scrappy One Day outfit that plays consistently above its natural level. India is a team of cricket genius’ who until fairly recently haven’t gelled that well, particularly in ODIs. So theoretically you get a great series… But Sehwag is just looking like he has no ceiling right now, like he could be the guy who gets that elusive One Day double century in this series. I fervently hope not, but I can’t recall seeing many players as ‘in’ as he is right now, and every over he’s at the wicket takes the game further from our grasp.

Ha-ha! This is nice, guys. India always had a pretty poor record in NZ even with the Fab Four, and NZ has a better ODI record in recent times than India. This is inarguable. Just because India wins a couple doesn’t give us the right to brag about it unless it is part of a consistent record. I remember just a short while ago, India crashed out of the World Cup after losing to Bangladesh. Kudos for the bravado, now let’s get some substance behind it.
