I know you're a bit slow but it would help if you read and understand the
posts of others. I didn't say it was an excuse I said it was a crappy
analysis only marginally worse than the one above...explain to me why India
drew in India and got beaten, nay hammered by NZ in NZ with these same
players...How many years have they been off form? And I have to ask if
you're in bad form for years on end, doesn't that just mean you're not that
good?

I wonder what there averages would be if they played a lot of there cricket
in NZ like the NZ top order hmmm? Based on their last trip the answer would
be not much...
