[QUOTE="Sneaki, post: 385734, member: 21570"] Well then, NZ's run came to an end last night with a loss against SL. Personally I think we did pretty well overall considering the low expectations everyone had, certainly better than our low ranking would suggest. As for the game itself, we were at least 20-30 runs short for sure. It may seem a little unfair, but I think part of the blame has to fall on Ross Taylor in this one. He was moving along nicely until he got out and had he been around for the powerplay our score could have been much higher. Even though it was a bad ball he tried to slog there was no need to take that risk on a slow pitch, it's very frustrating how he gets out like that so often. I do think he's improving though and perhaps being the captain will lead to at least slightly more responsible batting. I think there's a lot of positives to take from our performances in this tournament though. I suppose we'll need to focus on keeping our standards up in ODI's and climbing back up to a respectable ranking position in the next few years. Also... GO INDIA!!! This is the perfect time to get your 100th century Sachin! :D [/QUOTE]
