But our batsmen are flat track bullies ?? So how come they are able to bat on those dodgy pitches? Btw when was the last time India prepared a dodgy pitch for a whole series or even for a test (Let me guess..You are going to sing Wankhede wankhede wankhede, 2004 )Craig said:
We saw who was found out in the world cup match when we played them on a neutral ground. NZ were plain lucky that they had to bat second.

But the one-day wickets were far from flat.Craig said:
1st ODI, Ind all out 108, NZ 7/109
2nd ODI, NZ 9/254, Ind all out 219 (Sehwag ton)
3rd ODI, Ind all out 108, NZ 5/109
4th ODI, Ind all out 122, NZ 3/123
5th ODI, NZ all out 168, Ind 8/169 (Sehwag 45 from 40 balls)
6th ODI, NZ 9/199, Ind 9/200 (Sehwag ton, next top scorer was extras)
7th ODI, Ind all out 122, NZ 4/125
The only reasonably decent wicket to bat on was the 2nd ODI. The rest were definitely bowler friendly.

What part of the following is that you dont believe or dont understand ?Blaze said:
"Martin Snedden, the New Zealand Cricket chief executive, said the agreement to postpone the tour was reached last year after the ICC brought the World Cup forward by a month. "The flow-on effect was to leave insufficient time for the scheduled India tour during the mid-February to late-March 2007 window," he said. Snedden said New Zealand's build-up for the World Cup would not be "detrimentally affected" as they were due to play the Champions Trophy, the VB Series and the Chappell-Hadlee Series before the tournament."

hehe so many bottom lines.Deja moo said:
NZ would actually like some cricket before the world cup.
All jokes aside surely you people can see how frustrating this must be for us NZ cricket fans. NZ has a long history of being disrespected as a cricketing nation and it just seems to continue.
Why, if it was a mutual aggreement, have NZ organised for Sri Lanka to come back to NZ AGAIN.
November 2004 - 2 tests vs Aus
December 2004 - 1 ODI vs Sri Lanka
January 2005 - Nothing
Feburary 2005 - 5 ODI's vs Aus
March 2005 - 3 tests vs Aus
April 2005 - 2 tests vs Sri Lanka
May 2005 - Nothing
June 2005 - Nothing
July 2005 - 2 tests vs Zimbabwe and 5 ODI's
August 2005 - Nothing
September 2005 - Nothing
October 2005 - 4 ODI's vs South Africa
November 2005- Nothing
December 2005- 3 ODI's vs Aus
January 2006 - 4 ODI's vs Sri Lanka
66 days of cricket in the last 425 days for NZ and exactly half of those are against Aus due to our strong relationship with their board. No one else wants to play us.
December - March should be jam packed full of cricket with teams touring NZ yet we don't manage to get enough games and we don't seem to get invited on enough tours.

I agree with you on this point, and I don't think some non-NZ posters here realise how frustrating it much be. I'm not a Kiwi, but I think I have some sort of idea how frickin' irritating it'd be not to see your team play many tests, and when they do its silly 2 test series most of the time.Blaze said:
That being said, some of the comments like "India aren't even a good team anyway", "India aren't good enough to beat NZ at home, SL and WI are better
" and calling Virender Sehwag who would, with all due respect, walk into that NZ team in a flash if he was a Kiwi and be their best batsman by a long way, a flat track bully have just been immature. I understand it'd be frustrating to be a NZ supporter, but talking crap doesn't fix the situation. Not that you yourself have made these remarks Blaze.That's an interesting question actually.Blaze said:

Whatever it takes!!!
There are a few from your side who aren't flash ANYWHERE.....Craig said:
Look, I respect New Zealand cricket as much as anyone and I think it is a shame that the series is not going ahead but what do you expect?
The tour was scheduled in Jan/Feb 2007. India wanted a month's time between the tour and the WC. Now the WC is beginning in March itself and so India asked NZ if there was anyway to prepone or reschedule the tour. It turns out there was no way they could fit the whole series in the calender. So it has been postponed. They could have played lesser no. of matches and gone ahead with the tour, but I thought you guys wanted NZ to play MORE cricket?

Whatever it takes!!!
You do know that NZ AND India have other engagements in November/December, which is why the series was scheduled in Jan/Feb in the first place, right?Tim said:

Ind are in RSA. Dunno about NZ.Jono said:So playing no cricket is better than less cricket?
What are NZ doing in Dec this year? What are India doing?
honestbharani
Whatever it takes!!!
Maybe the players didn't wanna be crisscrossing the world just before a world cup, juz to play a few ODIs. You guys honestly think that 5 ODIs against INdia on your tracks would be good preparation for the WC? Let a proper tour happen whenever there is time. India are losing out on WC preparation too, seeing how it was our last series before the WC.Blaze said:
I can understand kiwi fans being frustrated at NZ playing very less cricket these days, but that is no reason to rubbish the Indian side or its players, juz like it is no reason for us to rubbish your tracks.
