The Black Caps

When I left work today the Black Caps were 132/2. When I arrived home twenty minutes later they were 133/7. There is something beautiful in the Black Caps ability to collapse. Best summed up by Dylan at CricInfo:

Someone should come up with a term for the special kind of angst created by being a New Zealand cricket fan. I don't think that fans of other countries will ever truly understand the soul-crushing feeling of watching their team promise so much and then crash back down so suddenly. Occasional moments like the Hobart test or the WC quarter-final last year just serve to build up hope so it can be crushed all over again. Maybe only English football fans can come close to experiencing something similar.
