This guy has the balls to say this

"Good luck to them. While we're not allowed to do it in New Zealand, they're obviously allowed to do it over here. Our policy is to produce the best cricket wickets possible, not ones that suit the home team."
John Bracewell, New Zealand's coach, suggests that the recent Test wickets were tailored to suit England.

This has to be most blatantly shameless comment of the year. He has so conviniently forgotten what these guys served Indians in the name of pitch last year. When Indians complained, then this guy had said that Indian should learn to play in all sort of pitches. Well, a case of selective amnesia.

I disagree with Sunil Gavaskar when he says that English are the worst whiners of the game. In contemporary cricket, Kiwis top hands down. Even pugnacious Naseer Hussain looks happy-go-lucky in comparison.
