The first test was a disappointment, not so much because we lost, but because it was a pretty meek showing. No one did anything spectacular – and the food poisoning could have had a lot to do with that. We really should be expecting a loss in Colombo as well, given the gap between the teams, but I'm hoping that someone will step up and impress us. Lets not write off the Black Caps after one test

I can see "Should a ... as part of ..." becoming an enduring part of the kiwi vernacular. Are batting collapses, as part of sporting stereotypes, an offence in this professional era?

Nice. I can see “Should a … as part of …” becoming an enduring part of the kiwi vernacular.
