Kiwi coach Andy Moles is an eternal optimist. Heaven knows maybe he is the eternal sunshine of the spotless mind. Here’s what he said after his team’s consecutive defeats to Sri Lanka and India in the Compaq Cup tri series:
‘Of course the Indians and Lankans will say they have won the one-dayers. That’s fine. Our answer is there have been two games of cricket and hookie each, they have won two and we have won two. They outplayed us in the cricket but we are looking forward to the flight back home’

Andy Moles makes a mountain of it again.
Plug your ears. Andy Moles is about to puke.
Help! New Zealand just won a Twenty20. If they win the next one, you know what you’ll hear:
"Of course the Lankans will say that they won the series. That's fine. Our answer is there have been four games of cricket, they have won two, and we have won two. So we are level going into the one day series..”
You may ask, who is this Andy Moles? That's a tough question.
Without putting him down as a nobody who wants to be more than a somebody, let's call him the Kiwi coach.
You know what he said when the Kiwis won the T20s v India:
"Of course the Indians will say that they won the series. That's fine. Our answer is there have been six games of cricket, they have won three, and we have won three. So we are level going into the [Test] series. They outplayed us in the one-dayers, but we are looking forward to the Test series."
Suddenly even Greg seems like a gem of a guy.
Ten Sports is sick. But then so are the Kiwis.
The Kiwi-Lanka test match broadcasters, Ten Sports have been off-air all morning. Had Brendon McCullum been the broadcaster, a few slogs in the air, and who knows what could have been.
Does it matter that I missed the morning session - not really, chances are so did New Zealand.
In fact, they turned up for the morning session. When the players can’t do the job, a selector has to – Daniel Vettori's shot selection was good enough to earn him a not out at lunch.
In the coming series, selector Moles will need to play. His coaching has done nothing. Or maybe the players are plain thick. Last match 9 out of 11 players were sick, this time, what excuse will it be?
“We’re just sick of cricket”
PS Ten Sports returns, the outfield is wet, the Kiwis are damp squibs, Anshuman Gaekwad's on instead. Which is worse?
Kiwi for Maths, and Aussie for beer
First it was Justin Vaughan, CEO of Kiwi cricket who took his Casio scientific calculator out:
After the black caps’ lone ODI victory, he solved a highly complex equation:
3-3 is what he said (India 3-1 in the ODIs, NZL 2-0 in the T20s, Q.E.D)
Then the Kiwi coach, Andy Moles took his abacus out, in consultation with the Chinese he arrived at this:"Of course the Indians will say that they won the series. That's fine. Our answer is there have been six games of cricket, they have won three, and we have won three. So we are level going into the [Test] series. They outplayed us in the one-dayers, but we are looking forward to the Test series."
Got me thinking, had England won yesterday’s T20, the series according to Vaughan & Moles, and the world according to Garp would’ve been locked at 1-1.
Balderdash.
