Certainly felt like it.

Yes.

Oh, thank God the summer of cricket is over.

Well, yeah, weird end.

I mean, the World Cup was the crescendo, was the peak, and then South Africa sent out a B team slash C team.

We responded with our own B team, and they beat us 3-2.

And in the last two games, you can see the difference.

We really needed to wrap that series up in those first three games because we cocked up that first game and that was not part of the script because then we won the next two.

And then Mitch Satner left, Conway left, Ferguson left, Latham got injured.

And you could just see that we don't have bottomless depth.

Looking at last night, you can see folks' figures are all right, but we don't have that kind of a guile and variation that you need.

And also, I wonder whether in New Zealand, I know there's some schools and some clubs where they're all about the spinners, but we are a medium-paced nation.

Yeah.

We are so medium pace.

Everything.

Our motorway is the works.

Medium pace.

Except if you're on the Northwestern late on a Friday night.

Holy shit.

But yeah, the chase was quite frustrating because you would have been commentating at G-Lane.
