The post-mortem

The one-day final between India and New Zealand is receiving a good deal of analysis, which is not a surprise given how rabidly some people seem to be looking for signs of frailty and decline in the Indian side. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has actually intiated a "thorough and complete review of the performance of its players" after the final. They needn't have bothered though, because Shane Bond has already provided them with a break-down of what the Indians did wrong.

Meanwhile, back on this side of the Pacific Richard Boock has been doing some post-match analysis of his own. Richard's piece is mostly puff about Nathan Astle (but nice puff), although he does point out that New Zealand has risen to third place in the ODI rankings.
