Oram out - the Kiwis are just unable to field a fully fit team.
I'm sick of it. It always afflicts the Kiwi's just when there's a sniff (albeit a very small one) of providing some competitiveness against the Aussies.

No, what bothers me is a bet I made with my Dad. He predicted the game would end late on the 3rd d...
Australia will play New Zealand in the eighth game of the World Cup at the VCA in Nagpur on February 25. The two have not had a great time going into the tournament and there were many who had not even considered the two as favourites. However, what will be interesting to see is that [...]
