Love how all the haters have come back to have a pop at the Black Caps now they are struggling again.

It is one test in a desert sharkhole. Relax.

Not a hater, just sick of being let down when they get a group of guys together that show some potential only to get arrogant and then screw up more often than not.

As for this test, Latham has shown that the pitch is like ashphalt and that any batsman is going to hit a big score. The wicket is offering absolutely nothing to the bowlers, kinda makes the test a waste of time.

Please give me one example of any of this group of players 'showing some potential and getting arrogant'. Please, I dare you.

In the end, we've been pretty well humped here. Bowlers will be better for a run under their belts in these conditions and hopefully the batsmen will as well. Pakistan are a good side, no way to hide that fact.

Will judge them after all three tests but even if we lose all three I don't think you can think anything but our test cricket has developed a million percent in the last two seasons.

I don't think you could call them arrogant. That would certainly be an unjust accusation.

All I want is for them to stop talking about what they are going to do, how much potential they have, how the rankings are not a fair reflection and how much we care for Jesse but he does this and that. Go out and play and either win or lose, stop fudgeing talking about what you are gonna do, potential is only potential if you actualise it otherwise it called plateaued/peaked and they are ranked where they are for a reason, and I can tell you, its certainly not unfair.

Now if we were talking about that other waste of time called hit and giggle, then they are certainly reasonable because it plays into their skill set of getting 14 off 16 like they consistently do in pretty much every form of the game.
