India's performance in both SA & NZ has nothing to be written on, on both tours, we lost the ODI's badly,and so far in the test series have given some semblance of a fight, and maybe we will lose the 2nd test in NZ,and thus end our overseas trip in disgrace. But soon we the mad cricket fans will cheer,leap on our feets,be in a queue, to purchase tickets @ astronomical costs for seeing the fixed(as per Mudgal report) IPL matches, and forget our recent disastrous overseas adventure. India & Indians have never taken our sports very seriously, and thus have never excelled in sports and produced world champions, and a few we have have come up on their own,but unfortunately in such games which are not popular and shown on TV. On the contrary our hated northern neighbour started participating in Olympics from 1984,and by 2012,i.e. in 8 Olympics has won over 200 gold medals, whereas India having participated in 20 Olympics has uptil now only 9 golds,including 8 in hockey.Also in the field of Lawn Tennis, China started participating from the mid-1990's, but by 2014,has Li Na who is now World No 3, and has in her kitty 2 Grand Slam(GS) singles titles, and we, despite playing from the British times,and having world like players like the Krishnans,Amritrajs,Paes,Mirza,& Bhupathi, all failed to even reach a GS final in singles event.
Indians deserve this. NZ pacers should come hard with pace and bounce. The aim should not be the stumps but instead each and every helmet facing them. The team still dont understand how their behavior affects the millions around the globe.
